Optimistic sunset shot looking toward the Buachaille Etive Mor from near Blackrock cottage. Alas the cloud shrouding the iconic munro did not budge. Entrance to Glencoe is on the right of the image with the route to Glen Etive on the left into the light..
I try to stay optimistic, but that means that I have to avoid the news! I pray for the biggest blue wave imaginable in November that will totally hobble the petulant, ignorant child that currently resides in the White House and all his corrupt, incompetent, disgusting minions!!! When I think of the loss of great leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy whose assassinations happened 50 years ago this year, I can't comprehend how we have come to this and how much damage can occur before he is removed from power.
"Now I lay me down before I go to sleep.
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep,
keep hatred from the mighty,
And the mighty from the small,
Heaven help us all ...
~ Lyrics by Ron Miller - first performed by Stevie Wonder
"The arc of the moral universe is long,
but it bends toward justice."
~ Theodore Parker - popularized by Martin Luther King, Jr. who was murdered 50 years ago this month.
Flashback: Ah, Jesma, so full of hope and questionable ideals about how life is outside her homeland and social status. She looks so optimistic about the future, just freshly arrived to Revenland.

My fun word for March 24th is “Optimistic”.
This Blythe doll is Silent Lucretia, joined by her friend Wanda the Wonder Frog. They are both wearing outfits from ThetaEridani on Etsy (except for their boots and Lucretia’s fascinator).
I was optimistic that the sun would disperse the cloud I saw early this morning but I drove for 45 minutes to Ballycastle without a break in the sky. On my way back, I saw in the rear view mirror that that sun had indeed come out over the sea and also over the hills above the town but there was no turning back as I'd noticed my favourite place for breakfast of bacon and eggs at the harbour was closed today :(
على كثر الهموم اللي فقلبي ماشكيت الحال
على كثر الجروح اللي تمادت أكتم العبرة
رضيت أبقى تحت مر الزمان اللي غدا همال
مدام الله كفل عبد(ن) تصبر واحتسب اجره
أنا باقي وأظل أبقى على جور الحزن حمال
ولاني من صنوف اللي بسهولة ينفجر صبره
ترى كل الطعون اللي في ذاتي ماطرت عالبال
ولا هزت كياني لا..ولا هزت ولا شعرة

I had posted on September the 17th an image of a Monarch chrysalis. ( www.flickr.com/photos/wparks/52365099001 ). I had almost given up on ever seeing an adult Monarch but yesterday morning there was a change in the chrysalis indicating that an adult would soon be emerging. Although I did not expect this to happen so soon, this is what I woke up to see. Now later today I will release it into a great big, 'cold" world. I hope that it will survive and be able to make the trip to a warmer climate. It has a daunting task ahead to get to Southern California or Mexico whichever has been genetically implanted. As today is a cold wet day, I am not optimistic.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. ~Elwyn Brooks White, Essays of E.B. White, 1977

You Can Find Beauty in Anything... If You are Willing to See It [120/365] - Today marks 120 days into Project 365... 4 months of 2009 have already passed and it seems like it was only a couple of weeks ago that we rang in the New Year! It's silly to say, but this photo project has quite possibly changed my life! Maybe not drastically, but I'd be lying if I said that it hasn't made an impact. Not only did it inspire me to upgrade my camera, but it's motivated me to actually leave my house, stretch my imagination and search for beauty in things I'd never look at twice before. I've got a long way to go before I can confidently say that I know what I'm doing, but learning is part of the fun.
A lot of things in life are really great right now. I could list them but that would take all night. On the small scale of things, it's the end of the work week and I have some pretty exciting weekend plans. Life is so much better when you force yourself to be optimistic.
PS.. The forest was so pretty today, and I wanted to explore it more and take some fun photos. Unfortunately there were some creepy forest folks lingering and they made me a bit nervous. What would I do, hit them with my tripod? Haha.
OH and before I forget... a huge thank you to Anita and Mel for the testimonials! You ladies are so awesome!!!

Fall is a season of change
Bright vivid colours...the last hoorah of the season...before it lets nature sleep.
It also gives us a lesson of season..and change....and realizing the beauty before us.
Change is natural...and what lies ahead....can not always be what one expects......but for us to gather strength to deal with the things that can not be changed....
Fall gives us hope....and a passion to be optimistic in anything that lies before us....
This has nothing to do with the photo, I just like the proverb !!
“Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours"

This mother turkey seems to be getting started way too late in the season. I took these this morning. Her nest is along a fence between Hwy 94 and a rail corridor in St. Paul. When she stands the piece of styrofoam rises. When she sits it covers her and her 12 eggs. The cars on 94 were roaring by at 65 MPH 20 feet behind me as I shot. Those are railroad tracks behind the fence in the background. I took a few shots and left when she stood up. I didn't want to stress her. I'm afraid she has enough to worry about.
A few days ago we had snow on deck for the Sunday forecast at lower elevations. Plenty of precipitation and the temperatures were supposed to dip below freezing, but just barely. As is often the case, the snowflake has turned into a more familiar rain cloud....bummer.
I really hope we get snow in Portland this winter. I know I can head east and get all the snow I can handle, but the city just looks so pretty under a fresh coat.
