This week Jake´s challenge is about something quite difficult to show in a picture: it is about «Hope»…
Here are some pics I HOPE you will enjoy….
.
«My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope» (Ovid)
.
«The darkest day, if you live till tomorrow, will have past away! (William Cowper)
.
«We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope» (Martin LutherKing Jr)
.
«Hope is the dream of a walking man» (Aristotle)
.
«Hope is the denial of reality» (Margaret Weis)
🙂
More contributions? Go to Jake´s and enjoy!

Thank you Ilargia That poor poodle is certainly a victim of misguided hope and denial of reality. Poodles are so intelligent and look so good with just an even trim of their super fur. I certainly HOPE that they will eventually let him/her be «au naturel»….
It was the first time I saw such a big poodle looking so…so…Well…Thanks to God they do not have mirrors..Or, if they happen to pass in front of one, they do not recognize themselves..If not, I am sure they will get depressed!
Poor dog. Poor poor dog. Now yours, on the other hand, looks like he might have it made.
Of course!!! 🙂 🙂
I could NEVER do something like that to a dog!!! I think it is so awful and strange!!! Imagine what another dog can think about him!

I love both your photography and quotes my friend for this week theme,
Thanks for sharing your very inspiring work 🙂
Thanks a lot Jake!!! I loved the challenge because it was really challenging!!!
Lurve the ladder, Ilargia – I hope it’ll hold us too as we reach for those topmost fruit 🙂
Thanks a lot M!!! I love that as well…I see it everyday and everyday I imagine a new meaning to it!
Beautiful post!! It is hope that keeps us going, huh?
And from a border collies point of view; there is always hope for a nice steak to come this way, so, be prepared for action… 😉
Some people say hope is ineffective and only brings despair at the end…But I always find a reason to have hope…
My Borders know they can only eat dog´s food…:) 🙂 Well, from time to time, a trick as well!!
Love the photos and got a chuckle out of the poodle. I hope he likes his style.
Thanks a lot TBM! I wonder what he would say in case he would be able to speak!
La esperanza es el sueño de un hombre caminando. Pienso lo mismo que Aristóteles. Y la visión de un mar iluminado por el sol siempre me llena de esperanza.
🙂 Qué bonito, verdad?
This poor fellow really hopes that its friends shouldn’t see him. Nice pics for theme.
You are so right!!!!Thanks for stopping here!!!
Sparkly sunshine on water is one of my favourite sights, Ilargia. A lovely mix to depict hope.
Thanks a lot Jo!!!
love the quotes…that poor poodle…I hope its owners see sense one day
I do not have big HOPE …:) Actually they were very proud when the contest went on!!!
I love the stars on the water. 🙂 Every photo in this post is lovely, but the starry water is magical.
I love reflections as well…You are right…And it is one of the things that you like when you see, but that almost always surprises you on pics…
WONDERFUL!!
Yes, you were right. they are cousins 🙂
Love the ladder shot.
Up to heaven…Thanks a lot!
