Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb

Not my problem, give me some "

Group of Four Optimistic Cactus Flowers In My Front Garden
These glorious cactus flowers in my front garden open at night and last for a single day. They are so optimistic that they will be fertilized quickly.

...16 things...
1. I am addicted to dark bitter chocolate.
2. I was born in 1971 and I’ve always been a ‘dollygirl’!
3. My dad died in an accident when I was 5, my mum died 2 years ago of a heart attack, I still miss them. Luckily I have a wonderfull stephdad whom I’ve known for the last 25 years.
4. I am the oldest of 5, 1 brother, 1 half sister, 1 steph brother and 1 steph sister, big happy family!
5. When I was 6 I had a tiny hole in my heart, after the operation the doc told me, he filled it up with chewing gum ;) It still holds!!!
6. Since I’ve learned to read I wanted to be a writer, I’ve published a (very thin) book for children in 2003 tittled ‘Maandag mag je met me mee’. I’ve also written about a dozen imaginary books.
7. Since I was a bit older I wanted to be a fashion designer, now I just want to run a Blythe fashion house ;o)
8. I am married to Sarah and we have a fantastic daughter, Bo, who will be 10 mounths old tomorow. For quite some time in my life (mid 20’s till mid 30’s) I decided never to have children, now I can’t imagine my life without Bo!
9. I am a lazy person, I love afternoon nappies and just hanging around doing nothing at all!
10. I don’t function well when there’s to much clutter, at least outside the cupboards.
11. I can be addictive practising my hobbies, such as gaming, writing and ‘Blything’!
12. I am an optimistic very open person, when I’m moody music can lighten up my day.
13. Sometimes I can be very moody!!, pigheaded, nagging on and on. I strongly believe it’s a hormonal thing ^______^
14. I believe in life after life!!
15. I whish someone would invent a self maintenance house, I find cleaning a very stupid loss of precious time, but someone has to do it!
16. I hope to soon find a good cleaning help. Flickr mail me if interested...

Popped out on an optimistic grebe hunt this arvo...as you'll surmise from this pic, the grebes were havin' none of it! The swans were quite accommodating though. Ignore the EXIF data, this was taken with a 300mm mf lens.
Taken at Nanpantan Reservoir between the rains.
Thank you for looking in :)
The We're Here! gang is looking for optimistic cloudgoats today. This one thinks he's going to get fried eggs for breakfast...but they are only "fried-egg poppies", not the real thing.
Fynn and his human and furry family wish all our Flickr friends a Happy New Year. May the sun shine on you and your loved ones in 2017 and may the year be all you hope it will be.
I have chosen Fynn for my New Year's greetings because it's often not easy to stay optimistic when you have to deal with his health issues. He ends the year with more problems than he started it and I'm not sure what the next months will bring but I know that Fynn is a fighter otherwise his life would have been over years ago. If anyone has taught me not to give up easily it's him.
After optimistically mistaking a pair of turkey vultures for our resident hawks, I spotted Mom perched in a tree at the Oval. Before I could get my exposure set, she took off to the ballfield and into this pine tree. It was a very nice surprise to find her sitting next to T4. Yes, that is ice on Mom's right eye.

Rappelez-vous que les jours se lèvent toujours.
Savez-vous qu'être optimiste,
partager plus et vouloir moins,
vivre de manière plus simple et moins compliquée
est pour nous aussi protecteur que la lumière du jour,
chaque jour nous invitant à danser
avec la danse du temps d'aujourd'hui.
Oui c'est vrai mes amis(es),
: )
Ivan
---------------------------------------------------
Remember the days always rises.
Know you that being optimistic,
share more and want less,
try to live in a simple and less complicated way
for every day inviting us to dance
with the dance of today's time,
is for us as protective as the days'light.
Yes my friends, all will be fine.

I wasn't terribly optimistic when I went looking for the BNSF's local on the Hanley Falls branch to Madison, MN. Good news! I saw a headlight when I crossed the tracks at this rural crossing west of Boyd. Bad news: it soon became obvious they were running east as light power. Consolation: the east facing locomotive was an ex-Frisco GP38-2 still wearing H1 paint. I gave a little chase back to Clarkfield, but I think I'll need to come back to try again. This telephoto view shows how little grading was done when the Minneapolis & St Louis Railway laid the first tracks down back in the late 19th century.
I'm not sure what this nursery web spider (Pisura mirabilis) was up to on the garden sage bush. It looks like it is eyeing up the Bombus lapidarius queen as a snack. Normally it goes for much smaller prey which it subdues physically rather than poisons so the bee represented quite a challenge!. I shall never know as the bee flew off before the spider could make its intentions clear.
This is the third species of queen bumblebee seen in the garden this year - the other two being B. terrestris and B. hypnorum. There have also been honeybees and a single male mining bee.
The spider is interesting because although I've seen them in the local countryside it's the first time I have seen the species in the garden.

Feeling good after spending some time chatting with the steering wheel harvesters, Pinky is optimistic about the latest world to which the jump drive has transported him.
Pinky steps from his rover, and gazes around at the striking purple terrain and the interesting vegetation. Soon he notices an interesting vehicle and two green-skinned creatures nearby.
Hello. What a beautiful planet you have. I'm Pinky, the wandering Space Alpaca. I'm just passing through on my way home...I hope.
The green stranger with the big purple hairdo smiles benignly.
Welcome, traveler. We are glad you have joined us. Please, stay for a while. I am Sirene, the Governess of this place. We were just about to play some music...Would you care to listen?
Some music would be very pleasant to pass the time while my Quantum Drive recharges, thank you.
Pinky makes himself comfortable on the soft pink terrain while Sirene and her associate begin creating the most unusual melodic sounds that he has ever heard. Sirene plays a strange guitar while the other creature sings, the sounds amplified and accompanied by various tone coming from the nearby vehicle.
Soon, Pinky finds himself in a trancelike state...carried away by the phantasmagorical and mellifluous music, unable to move or even think clearly. In is not unpleasant but quite uncanny.
...
After a time, Pinky regains his senses and find himself quite alone. There is no sign of Sirene, the others, or the vehicle, not even tracks in the soft purple soil.
Wondering if they were ever there at all, Pinky returns to his rover, climbs aboard and presses the Quantum Drive ignition.

St. Margaret's Anglican Church which I have photographed over the years. It looks so different without the huge tree that was removed by the City of Toronto, because it might become a hazard if it fell.
Thanks for visiting, take care, stay healthy and hopeful. #BeKind
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

(It's not quite the Year of the Rat, but for some reason, I'm already feeling optimistic. It's my year & I'm summoning all the ratty positive power to avert the apocalypse contrived by the Orange Agent. and I'm doing it in Year of the Rat jewelry by S. Lima, Raspberry dress by Eternus & dark red Christmas Melee shoes from Heels!)

A boulder-strewn scree slope supports a few optimistic green aspens and mountain mahogany, then at the bottom the accumulated water nourishes aspens, willows, and conifers. Location is everything.
Took a run out to Bedruthan last night in a moment of optimistic spontaneity. Hoping for slightly better conditions but the tide was almost right out so was able to get down on to the beach. The fallen boulders and clean sand provided and opportunity to try something different.
My journey with cancer.....I have some good news I wanted to share with everyone.
I went for my three week check up yesterday (following surgery).
When Dr. Jutzi sat down she said, "I think you're done" and I said "Done, good or Done bad?" She told me that she believes my cancer is gone. No need for more chemo or hormones.
The tumour that was entangled and attached to my large bowel was endometriosis, which means that my cancer had not metastasized. She said it was surprising in someone that has gone through menopause, but it must have broken off and attached to my bowels, maybe quite some time ago. The other tumour that she removed, ended up being benign. The tumours that were in my omentum seem to have disappeared. Dr. Jutzi said she wishes she had done the surgery a year ago before I went through chemo.
Unfortunately scans and tests can only tell so much of the story, and that is what they rely on.
I'm cautiously optimistic at the moment, because for five years I have been told that they were just trying to extend my life in the most healthy way. I'm a little scared to get really happy yet (although I am happy). I have to go for tests every 3 months, and watch my body for signs.
I have another 2 weeks to go before I can lift and really exercise and get back out there with my camera (although after my appt yesterday we drove around looking for owls - found 1 barred and 7 snowy owls). It was nice to get out.
I wanted to thank everyone again for all of your prayers and support, I couldn't have survived the last five years without my family and friends.

My fun word for March 24th is “Optimistic”.
