Just like the 2D paintings with a restricted colour scheme, I moved on to a secondary colour after painting pieces with the primary colours. This time, I decided to go with the cheerful yellow.
Yellow was used to represent joy and happiness in the ‘Power of Joy’, and this painting aims to exude the same emotion as well. On top of that, this painting utilises another effect of the colour yellow – optimism. The bush medicine leaves mainly represent the vat optimism and self-esteem one can have when going on in life.
The symbol in the middle is a combination of various signs across a few cultures. The horizontal line represents the horizon, showing a sign of hope. The round symbol in the middle is called the ‘Nyame Biribi Wo Soro’, a West African symbol of hope. On the whole, the symbol shows that one should be optimistic when encountered with obstacle or detour as one would get to one’s objective eventually.
On the whole, the painting shows the importance of being optimistic in life. One should take every step in life with a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. That way, one can be sure to achieve one’s goals.

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn’t see the clouds at all – he’s walking on them.

At Queen St. West and Bay St. This gentleman was kind enough to sing to bystanders. He was one of the few bright spots in an overall gloomy day.

This sign magically appeared on MLK near the baseball field.
Is it an omen predicting lower unemployment and rising wages?
Or just a comment on the proposed Mixed Use development for the 1600 block of MLK?
Around Christmas time we had some rather unusual fruit at our home - persimmons like here & watermelon radish. Both were acquired rather cheaply and more for photographing than really eating - but we made an attempt to savor as well :>)
The optimistic me is the real me. Last night, when I said that things suck I was focused on trees, not the forest. Caught this shot today. My daughter left her sparkly glitter shoes in the living room, where the sun struck them and spread the light everywhere. This is me. I believe in possibilities. I am probably stupidly optimistic, but, honestly, I don't care to change that about myself. Deal with it. :)
Taken on the early hours of a Saturday morning. The sun creeping in through the foliage and the fence sits with me well, it has a particular optimistic and wishful feel to it.
A lucky image I managed. I saw about four (4) shooting stars that night and never saw this one, but it appeared in the RAW image. And if you look close you will see a trail of a possible satellite that got drowned out in processing [I may have overdone it a bit; more tinkering to this image has to be done].
This one I used Affinity Photo to eliminate some of the noise in RAW mode before doing a bit more to the image.
Make a wish, and lots of luck!

As close to freedom to as possible for these guys who were born and raised in captivity. I wish them a future in our lifetime!

Despite the public ululations and optimistic expectation of the return of most sports following the president’s green light on sports activities on Sunday, the return of pool maybe a little complicated.
The NCS recently named pool among the low-risk sports alongside archery, cycling, darts, skating athletics motorsport, swimming and skating. However, the return of pool is encountering financial complications citing the adjustments to the new normal a little hard to implement inasmuch as playing under social distancing and playing behind closed doors a walk in the park.
This financial strained has not only come recently even when the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already worse situation that caused the Pool Association of Uganda to haphazardly call off some of its activities.

Furthermore, the players have also been affected by the inadequate access to training facilities as most of them do not own personal training equipment like the tables and cues and have in the past relied on bars and clubs for training and these have since been closed following the corona outbreak. This therefore has caused serious retardation amongst most of the players. bit.ly/309YlOu
This Chicago School (Sullivanesque) style building has eighteen floors. Its massive base of two-story Doric columns and entablature support fourteen floors in a 'shaft' of single double-hung windows with the center and corner pairs adorned with false terra cotta balconies. The building's crown is two levels of stone with arcaded windows separated by false pillars, capped by a dentiled cornice. This building is also significant for its association with the history and growth of the city. Pioneer Tulsa brothers, John D. and Cass A. Mayo, built the hotel in 1925, patterning it after the Plaza in New York City. Their goals were elegance of decor and fine service. Ceiling fans in each room and Tulsa's first running ice water made the hotel a haven from summer heat. Once the tallest building in Oklahoma, the hotel, which originally had 600 rooms, is an example of early Tulsa's optimistic attitude concerning its growth potential.
The Mayo served as a residence for J. Paul Getty for several years, and the John D. Mayo family lived in the hotel from 1941 until Mayo's death in 1972. The Mayo and the Mincks-Adams Hotels are the only large hotels that survive from this early period of Tulsa's growth. This building was listed in the National Register on June 27, 1980. It was listed under National Register Criterion C, and its NRIS number is 80003303.
I suppose it's a tiny bit obscure but I've always wanted to make a jet trail into a graph...
