“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Michael Jordan
When the great Osprey is on the hunt, there are few obstacles to prevent it from pursuing it's prey!
“Many times we are our worst enemy. If we could learn to conquer ourselves, then we will have a much easier time overcoming the obstacles that are in front of us.”

Another casualty from the February storms making the walk to the Tiger Clough waterfall difficult.
There are plenty of difficult obstacles
in your path. Don't allow yourself to
become one of them.

BNSF vehicle train V TACLPC1 24F punches through the solid basalt hole known as Drano Tunnel (Tunnel #2) near Cook, WA, in the Columbia River Gorge. Drano Tunnel is the first of five tunnels the train will pass thorugh in the next 3 miles as it and parallel Washington Route 14 navigate the narrow confines of land crammed between the northern bank of the Columbia River and numerous rock formations, lakes, and steep slopes. CREX 1206 is working rear-end DPU duty, shoving hard to get the autoracks rolling at track speed after holding for Amtrak on the fast-paced and heavily utilized Fallbridge Subdivision.
The Thurisaz rune (ᚦ) represents the ability to confront obstacles, the strength to endure adversity, and the protection of mighty forces. Like the thorn it symbolizes, this rune reminds you that true strength lies not just in attack, but in defense and resilience. It suggests that you have the inner fortitude to face any challenge that stands in your way, urging you to stand firm and embrace your power.
Thurisaz is a rune of both conflict and transformation, showing that through struggle, growth is achieved. It calls on you to harness your inner strength wisely, channeling your energy to break through barriers and drive positive change. More than just a force of destruction, Thurisaz is a guardian—its presence in your path signifies that you are not alone, as unseen forces shield and guide you. Whether in battle, personal trials, or major life transitions, this rune is a reminder that your resilience is your greatest weapon, and through perseverance, victory is within reach.
"Thurisaz is the force that breaks and the strength that endures—embrace the storm, for it forges the warrior within."

It is a long time since I have been able to visit this wood. So lovely to see the greenery. This path has a tree trunk across. It is a path often used by horses. I expect the riders love it.
This small gator was in my path on a walk, I thought maybe a bad idea to walk past it. Better to take a photo and leave instead. It was small, but I didn't like the way it was looking at me!

"מגדל ג'ורג'", על שם ג'ורג' קזמה, בעל האדמות, שהקק"ל רכשו ממנו את הקרקע והקימו עליה - בין היתר - את קיבוץ מסילות. המגדל נבנה ע"י הקיבוצניקים, בסיוע של ההגנה, ב-1939. הוא אמור היה לשכן שומרים שיגנו על החקלאים של מסילות מפני הטרדות של פלחים ושודדים ערבים, על סמך ניסיון שנרכש בעת ההתגוננות בתקופת המאורעות. לא רחוק משם יש מגדל נוסף, ליד ניר דוד (תל עמל) שנקרא מגדל השלושה,
