The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic

This week show us something you’re optimistic about, or perhaps a talisman that helps you stay positive and hopeful, regardless of what life (and the weather!) throws your way.

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence” Helen Keller

Optimistic (The Daily Post) One

Living, breathing, growing
Even if it is still snowing
Bending not breaking
Sometimes shaking
But soon it will be warm
After the cold and storm

“I’m Mr. Plow and I’m here to say, I’m the plowingest guy in the USA. I got a big plow and I move a lot of things, just like your cow if you have one!” Homer Simpson

Mr Plow (Mundane Monday)

When you are in trouble
And it’s snowing full throttle
No need to struggle
Just call on the double

Mr Plow

Here is how
Feel the wow
Before you raise
An eyebrow
All gone is
The snow

“In a window seat on a plane to nowhere”

Seat by the Seashore (Seat Sunday 2016-01-24) Three

The sun’s shadows of tall
Cast on to the stone wall
Enjoying a moment of silence
In an instant quite timeless
Loosing all defiance
On this frozen
Snow covered bench

Seat by the Seashore (Seat Sunday 2016-01-24) Two

The sun is shining
The birds are flying
The air is frozen
This spot I’ve chosen
A seat in the sun

The sea is frozen
So don’t dip your toes in
Unless you are a dare devil
Meanwhile,
Enjoy the scenery
On a bench near the sea

Snow and then some! Part Four

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Snow

“The very fact of snow is such an amazement.” Roger Ebert

Snow and then some! (Part Four)

One step, two step
Feeling the shake
No worries, no hurries
Just walk a mile
It will be quite a while
Before the ice breaks

Snow and then some! (Part Three)

In front of me
A most gorgeous display
Sunshine, on a snowy day
The waters frozen
Feeling brazen
A thought quite attempting
The opportunity presenting
A walkabout upon the lake

Snow and then some! (Part One)

In the early morning hours
Before the rush and plowers
A perfect moment of stillness
Nature white and flawless
Staring in awe
At the most beautiful picture
I ever saw
