A more optimistic view of rural Ireland than yesterday's photo, though some people see those wind farms as (pardon the pun) 'ass'-inine..... :-)

Here comes a new year. Let's be hopeful.

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.

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!

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.

Happy Fence Friday! Have a wonderful weekend. :)

Honeysuckle... deciding it's time!

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 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.

I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups

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.

Optimistic Amsterdam

The night before was beset with storms and so I wasn't at all optimistic I would get any decent sunrise shots at Cape Bruny. But I set the alarm clock anyway.

 

When I woke the rain had stopped, but I couldn't see the night sky, so assumed the worst. Still I was prepared to take the 30 kilometre drive through the South Bruny National Park to the lighthouse and take my chances.

 

When I arrived it was very dark and the only light I had was a small flashlight as I made my way up the steep path to the lighthouse over 100 metres above sea level. Then as the winds blew I noticed the moon appearing behind the cloud cover. So I set up my tripod and took this 30 second exposure by moonlight.

 

My title comes from the book about a secret British commando landing in Crete during WW2. This book by Stanley Moss was made into a 1957 film starring Dirk Bogarde. Ill Met by Moonlight [Dirk Bogarde] (1957) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ahvCt9r4R4

The Nazis had turned Crete into an impenetrable fortress and had virtually enslaved the local population. The aim of this daring night raid was to capture the General Heinrich Kreipe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Kreipe
