our builder has finished mending our roof today. Kosovan refugee, before being sent by his parents to search for a new life in Italy, and then, arriving in London. I am proud to say that he was taken in, and within two years of arrival became a British citizen, now his sole nationality. I salute his determination, kindness and resilience

This downy woodpecker was waiting to fly up to the suet feeder during a snow squall one winter. It was grasping a lilac branch outside one of my windows. This was taken in Northeastern PA.

It's not the SIZE of the dog in the fight, but the size of the FIGHT in the dog

I rise and fall, yet through it all

This much remains

I want one moment in time

When I'm more than I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away

And the answers are all up to me

Even when it snows hard outside and I put plenty of food out for the squirrels there is always one that has to raid the bird feeders.

At a Culzean Country Park, today. This wee guy kept trying to get piece of coconut from a shell, hanging on a tree. He was very wary of me, but was obviously quite hungry. He kept appearing, then flying off, before getting something to eat. Here, he eventually grabbed a piece and I was lucky enough to snap him before he swooped away, again.

I really do believe that most anything can be sorted out with a little determination... and a lot of coffee.

Where there's a will....there's a way.

This is an 8 image LE pano taken from Fajada Butte Overlook in New Mexico. I had to create this LE effect in photoshop because WAYNE ran over my camera bag with his jeep and shattered my 10 stop ND filter. Jeez, you just can't trust some people. Hehe (Sorry Wayne!!!) :)

I have to speak in Wayne's defense though, he was busy operating the crane to unload Chris's massive tripod, you should have seen Chris carrying that behemoth across the desert cradling it in his arms as if it was a wounded child, kinda reminded me of the ending of the movie "True Grit". Man that's determination. After watching him try to find a comfortable position to carry it I mistakingly offered to carry it for him the last 1/2 mile and within 50 ft immediately regretted it. :)

Leave a comment and let me know what think. :)

Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead my friends :)

Hi There!

This chap was determined to get a place on the suet feeder which was filled with several other Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warblers. This was taken at my friend's house. She tells me that she can barely keep the suet feeder filled. I'll be heading back with the camera today or tomorrow to see what excitement is forthcoming!

Thank you all for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a terrific day and week ahead!

Watching this bee jump from flower to flower it was determined to find just what exactly suited its taste. When the seasons pass so quickly this is one small thing that I will miss. “Determination” drives this bee to exactly what it wants, as will my determination keep me patient to repeat this very photo-op next Summer. Thanks for viewing my work. Be grateful and kind.

These towers stand 250 to 300 feet above the desert floor. They are incredible all on their own. Even more so with a star filled sky.

Art lifts our spirits and reaches our soul. Artists define the character of our communities. Social distancing may keep us away from one another this holiday season, but we can still stay close. Shop art and consider a handcrafted, personal gift for your loved ones this #ArtistsSunday Nov 29, the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Determination is powerful

The fish put up quite a fight but this osprey was not taking 'no' for an answer.

This day started beautiful but turned quickly as things can do in the desert. I had the drone up circling the towers and felt a small smack on my forehead. No it wasn't Bea, it was hail. I quickly got the drone in luckily had this shot already taken. We went back with our tails between our legs. Thanks for looking at my ridiculous attempts at professional photos!! Kris..

Busy as a Bee for sure. It may just start with determination to work hard for yourself and others who may also depend upon you. Having pride in what we do and how we perform our duties can be a reflection on how we see ourselves and how we learned some of life’s more important lessons. Always doing our best in whatever it is we do is like putting our personal signature on our accomplishments. Do your best, stand tall and be proud. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and stay determined.

As I was on my way to work, a crow kept on attacking me for no apparent reason at all.

They say that if this happens, a crow’s nest is most probably near by. Well, that’s the determination to protect I saw that day even though I’m not doing anything wrong.

This piece is the first one I draw in Washington and it is based on Mr. Lorcan Keating’s photography as I obviously cannot sketch while I’m being attacked ;)

This cowboy is determined to stay on this bucking bronco for the required 8 seconds to qualify for prize money and a belt buckle. Unfortunately, he did not make it. Taken at the Russian River Rodeo

Last blooming sunflower here at home. The sweltering temps wilted the petals and they never filled out completely, but it rose to the occasion. This sunnie is a mammoth variety and it is 7 ft. tall.

I saw this little snail on my garden table heading in its own pace straight to the potted sunflower, not even hesitating when I came pretty close with my camera. That is determination!

I then moved the snail to another safe, green area.

Ich sah diese kleine Schnecke auf meinem Gartentisch, wie sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo auf die Sonnenblume Pflanze zueilte. Sie ließ sich nicht einmal durch die nahe Kamera stören. Das ist Zielstrebigkeit!

Ich habe die Schecke dann in eine sichere grüne Ecke umgesiedelt.
