I do not usually photograph people. However, I admired this boy's pluck and determination to build a sand castle in the face of heavy waves. As I recall, the the sky was overcast and the surf fairly high. I came across this shot in an archived folder and decided to share it with you. The photo was taken in March 2012, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
P.S.
This is my last post before I leave for my annual vacation to Maui. I will be back by the second week of March.
"Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.” - Jack Layton (1950-2011)
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
Eagle at the Dam
Conditions have made this a very poor season for eagles at Conowingo Dam, but yesterday I was quite optimistic water conditions were much better, there was a Southerly wind and more than 20 sales visible. Unfortunately after I arrived there was little fishing activity, but it was still great to get a few flying by, such as this.

The way this weed looks at it, it has all this space in which to spread out....and there's no competition.
Or as John Stewart put it:
"It's time I should be thankful
For all that I have got,
Instead of bitching and complaining
Of all that I have not. . . ."

Just about everyone I think was this in their more pensive moments last year. Optimistically Pessimistic .....if that is possible? Not over of course, but more bearable...so far.

“Optimism: A cheerful frame of mind that enables
a tea kettle to sing though in hot water up to its nose.”

5th October, 2018
Headed out optimistic this morning to catch the sunrise as the forecast called for "mostly clear" and the tide was scheduled to be fairly low. Weather forecasts are always such a shot in the dark....as we had heavy cloud cover. Finally the sun broke through a few gaps in the clouds and gave us some pretty amazing scenes. Ended up still being worth the effort.
Optimism . .The doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.

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).

Some Mars experts are eager and optimistic for a dust storm this year to grow so grand it darkens skies around the entire Red Planet. This biggest type of phenomenon in the environment of modern Mars could be examined as never before possible, using the combination of spacecraft now at Mars.
A study published this week based on observations by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) during the most recent Martian global dust storm -- in 2007 -- suggests such storms play a role in the ongoing process of gas escaping from the top of Mars' atmosphere. That process long ago transformed wetter, warmer ancient Mars into today's arid, frozen planet.
Two 2001 images from the Mars Orbiter Camera on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor orbiter show a dramatic change in the planet's appearance when haze raised by dust-storm activity in the south became globally distributed. The images were taken about a month apart.

Slightly optimistic, I know, but perhaps a hint of spring in the air today?
Soon these gorse bushes will be flowering.

And so I bid farewell to My Recent Activity Page as Flickr has seen fit to do away with it.
I have enjoyed the Recent Activity Page for a long time now and I am going to miss it.
We who pay for a Pro Flickr account seem to be paying more these day's and getting less for it and I can not help but wonder what will be next to fall under the Flickr Ax.
I renewed my Flickr Pro account for another year in late November but it may very well be for the last time as I'm not very optimistic about Flickr's future service to those who have Pro accounts.
Time over the next year will tell.
