The Optimistic Orchestra [Optimistorkestern] is a group of bronze statues created in 1985 by local artist Yngve Lundell - known for his burlesque and humorous creations - to the pedestrian area in downtown Malmö.
Whatever the driver thought they were trying to achieve, sliding backwards into a stone wall and someone's garden was probably not on the list of "desired outcomes". Trying to drive up a 20-25% hill in the snow and ice puts it in the "likely outcomes", however
This is my second gladiola design for spring, in luxurious 16.5mm stonewashed crepe de Chine --- this a different color scheme than the chiffon. Both are painted directly onto the silk as I studied blooms chosen from the local florist. Brilliant lemon yellow overdyed with peach forms the backdrop; coral pink gladiolas contoured with teal add the detail and drama.
One big freckle.
Optimistically I like to think I've gotten a bit of a tan while here in Dahab, despite the common question from Egyptians as to where my colour is. But sometimes I'm not so sure that it's not just the illusion of a tan brought on by the sudden appearance of thousands of freckles. Not so much on my face (my eyelids are the only place on my face that really seems to freckle much), but shoulders, arms, knees, back - basically everywhere exposed to sun.
I guess if freckles are the closest thing I get to a tan, I'll take it.

I'd very optimistically set my alarm for 3:00 AM so I could get to Algonquin and walk in to Wolf Howl pond for sunrise. When I awoke at 3 I checked the weather forecast online and could still hear rain falling so decided to sleep in a bit. 5:00 AM saw me up and out and on my way to the park. God bless the Tim Horton's in Bancroft, Ontario.
I came upon this handsome Bull already being photographed in this patch of wildflowers. I joined in and he seemed quite content to pose for us as he grazed. Another car appeared on the scene but failed to move to the shoulder while watching the Moose. The sound of squealing tires as the next car on the scene narrowly missed colliding with previous arrival was enough to send this bull dashing into the forest.
Please. Please. Please. If you are going to stop to look at wildlife in Algonquin Park get safely off the road before stopping. The road is also used by drivers who are not visiting the park but simply passing through. This includes large transport trucks and large military vehicles. Also, a driver may be too distracted by the moose he/she's just spotted to notice you in the way.

Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns,
be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
