A more optimistic view of rural Ireland than yesterday's photo, though some people see those wind farms as (pardon the pun) 'ass'-inine..... :-)
I've always taken the springy, buoyant up-tail of Miss Woolly to be an indication of her sparkly, optimistic nature …
In her almost 6 years have I hardly ever seen Miss Woolly with her tail dropped like this… in fact, her tail has been so tightly curled up all the time, there's no longer a proper tip of fur at the end, but split by where it normally rests against her rump.
She was so miserable about the new girl today, I decided not to do the group doggy walk in the park this arvie.
Instead I took the girls to one of the lakes nearby.
She brightened up a wee bit in the front seat as we left town, but on the shore of a twilight lake she seemed to be contemplating her woollywomanhood supremity being usurped by this husky newcomer ..
( Straightened up by -1.3° - can't shoot level these days..

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

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?
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.

I'm optimistic that this will clean up nicely, very nicely in fact! It looks good underneath and I cannot wait to clean it.
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🍷🍷💙
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.
Thank you so much for your support, visit, comments and faves!
I really appreciate each of them! Have a great day, my friends!
Hong Kong’s public hospitals are overwhelmed by the recent surge in coronavirus infections, which means residents who test positive for the virus have to wait a few days before being admitted.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Wednesday that she is optimistic that at least 10,000 hotel rooms can be converted into isolation facilities for Covid patients who have no or mild symptoms. (20220216 RTHK news)
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.
Lifer! I used to see these high in the forest canopy during my BC years, but there was never a photo op... until last month, here on the Saskatchewan prairie. We are at the easternmost extent of this species' migratory range, and one showed up at a friend's feeder. I received an early morning phone call, rushed over, and was able to shoot through an open window.
Lifers - by which I mean photo-lifers - are hard to come by these days. I've photographed most species that breed here or pass through in migration. Most days I'm out there trying to improve on earlier shots or capture some interesting behaviour. Once in a while, though, I get lucky; this is my second lifer of Spring 2024. Will there be a third? I am optimistic. And that comment leads to one of my favourite quotes:
"The reason for optimism lies in the biological fact that it keeps you happy and busy, whereas pessimism just leads to lying around and bitching."
- Robert Anton Wilson
I tried the latter many years ago and it didn't work, so I'll just stick with the former and ride it until my ride ends.

Wandering around the desert southwest we came upon an abandoned set of buildings covered in graffiti. This is the only one i found providing some hope.
But then, there is always the fine print!
(Look at LARGE size for the fine print)
I took this shot today.
I am very happy to post my sixth anniversary shot of Trapper.
My long term contacts know this lovely cat came in to my life while I was out birding on January 02, 2010. It was -30 C on that day. I drove up a dead end road bordering Elk Island National Park. At that point there is a rough trail leading to Trapper Lake. At the end of the road, I found this emaciated, filthy, and near dead cat at the bottom of a snow bank mewing pathetically.
I took her home and named her "Trapper" after the lake I found her near. She has turned out to be very sociable and affectionate; greeting all visitors and keeping me company in whatever room I am in. The vet thinks she is between 13 and 15 years old now. She has been an expensive cat, but well worth the price of the Canon 500 mm f/4 lens I don’t have :)
She had a tough year in 2015. We actually had a date with the needle a few months ago. She rallied just enough the day before her planned euthanasia and is responding well to the treatment of her condition which the vet diagnosed as either severe Pancreatitis or Pancreas Cancer. The treatment is the same in either case.
At this time she is doing well. She is gaining weight and has good energy. I am optimistic that I will be able to post a seventh anniversary shot in 2017. If she begins to exhibit the symptoms of end stage Pancreas cancer tough, I will not see her suffer.
Optimistically waiting for a glimmer of sunshine on an overcast morning in woodland in Uppland in Central Sweden back in mid-June (1165)
Forecast was optimistic so I went o the coast - paid off. Took a roll of Portra 400 early evening before breaking out the digital - Was the only one there
I am not optimistic that it will make it to produce a pumpkin as it is proving to be such a cool summer and pumpkins need a lot of warmth but I carry on hoping.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
