A more optimistic view of rural Ireland than yesterday's photo, though some people see those wind farms as (pardon the pun) 'ass'-inine..... :-)
Historic flood levels have caused terrible devastation in the Fraser Valley but the kindness, cooperation, giving and care shared by the community is truly cause for a positive and optimistic view of things!

Lo splendore di Firenze, unito ad una luce speciale, mi fanno sentire molto ottimista. Sempre e comunque.
Grazie per tutti i gentili commenti alle mie ultime foto!

Florence’s charme, combined with a special light, makes me feel very optimistic. Always and anyway.
Thanks for all your kind comments to my last photos

Over optimistic lights, Vines Winebar isn’t going to open anytime soon unless the world spins a little faster on its axis and COVID-19 evaporates.
This is one of many strategies tried by a cormorant to eat an eel. It was nearly a fatal mistake as just out of shot was a diving gull intent on stealing the eel but the cormorant was too quick for it.
Photographed in Olhão.
Nature's confetti, showering lives with soft petals, each a reminder that joy can bloom even in the prickliest of patches.

Restaurant in Reykjavík. It was nighttime, in November, so not even smokers were sitting outside. Some interesting items on the menu, if you zoom in. Traditional Plokkari, anyone?
DB unbranded 60010 hugs the Loughor Estuary near Pwll as the tug throbs towards Llanelli with the 6B13 05.00 Robeston-Westerleigh petroleum tanks.
The phrase you don't go you don’t get seems pertenent in this instance - this location was another that, I felt, had been on the to-do list for far too long. The optimistic weather outlook settled it and a very early alarm call coupled with a pleasant ride into Wales most definitely recified this anomaly.
Special mention goes to DP for the inspiration and the local know-how.
I'm optimistic that this will clean up nicely, very nicely in fact! It looks good underneath and I cannot wait to clean it.
In March the avenue of pleached limes at Mottisfont is carpeted by blue chionodoxa. Ray thought to take a few plants home for our garden.
Yellow Branch Falls as she appeared on this bright, optimistic, sunny morning Feb 3, 2024. Even though her flow was low, I didn't mind. As for me, she never disappoints. Today I hiked down from above and completely understand why the former trail was decommissioned. It's far too dangerous of a descent for children, the elderly and people lacking hiking experience with careless tendencies. Compared with the existing trail, I found the former trail to be more of a "cut to the chase" excursion. (accepting for today's overgrown and "lack of" trail and the number of downed trees to maneuver over, through and around).The existing "new" trail today offers a beautiful array of mountain ridgeline views as the trail rises and falls along the way. Yellow Branch will always be uniquely special to me because it was one of the first waterfalls, I hiked to and photographed years ago. I have made many captures here and some with the waterfall full to overflowing. This morning, I had her all to myself for about 45 minutes. I hiked back out on the existing trail and met many people hiking in. No doubt, I'll be back many more times. It was such a great beginning for my new 2024 year of adventure hiking to waterfalls🍷🍷💙
A tour guide told us that Acadia was once all evergreens, but a great and devastating fire cut through the area in 1947. On the bare and scorched patches of land, colorful trees began to grow in, creating the park's now famous Fall foliage.

A Velvet-fronted Nuthatch (Sitta frontalis) was scanning for tiny insects under the lichen laden barks of trees. It was caught in the fast action moves against a gorgeous Bokeh backdrop on green . The colours of the bird, its eyes and beak just stand out against the backdrop so well. Pics was taken from Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India.
Let's be optimistic, that we are going to jump into a better, more peaceful, fairer, healthier, more colourful happy New Year!

Optimistically waiting for a glimmer of sunshine on an overcast morning in woodland in Uppland in Central Sweden back in mid-June (1165)
Series: German name begins with "Rot" (=red) 5 / 18
After a long break, I continue the series of animals whose German names begin with "Rot" (= red).
In the last two weeks I wasn't in the mood to enjoy Flickr, now I'm a little more optimistic again.

Street portrait from my '100 Strangers' project taken in Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a shot taken in February 2018 and given a slightly tighter crop. Being unable to get out and photograph many people this year (for obvious reasons) has been so bitterly painful as I truly miss those brief connections with people and capturing a brief window into their lives and personalities.
Naturally I am hoping that 2021 brings some positive steps towards the old normal in our lives but I am not optimistic that it will be before the summer. Until then, stay safe everyone and thank you for sharing your interest in my photography.
