This rose vine was given to me almost dead. I actually prayed for it. Then when it recovered, it was devastated by hoards of Japanese beetles. They ate it down to a skeleton. But this summer it came back and is covered in blooms!

Eagle Fire Co No 7
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.

Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.

After a terrible morning of rain at the low areas and white-out at the top, with only one chairlift operating, our perserverance paid off... Having waited all morning, as we finished our lunch athe mountain-side hut, the clouds suddenly lifted to reveal 6 inches of powder on the pistes and most people having written the day off for skiing... perfect.

a 30 min exposure at the lake tonight, felt right pleased have the southern axis just need a wider lens or a full frame camera, and of course a longer exposure was a little time poor, next time.
Would like to learn the method of stitching shorter exposed images together. Intended to go to the local gurus of SE Queensland on this sort of thing but does not work in with my shift work so has to be internet lessons or can anyone tell me how that method works?

Student speaker Rose Duperron, shares her story of overcoming obstacles and her perserverance with our guests. Such an inspirational woman.
I had a hard time when trying to get the focus lock-on when shooting this from my 70-210mm USM as light was falling off very fast this evening.
It kinda struck to me that this fresh young bulb sprouting out of the gigantic tree has a sense of melancholic in it...it's birth is a sign of perserverance and hope ; but at the same time, as a foolhardy attempt to face the inevitable force of nature...

Desmonde is a girl I know from derby. She no longer plays roller derby but seems to lead a life that reflects the perserverance and agression that is required in the sport.
Desmonde is a smart smart girl who cares about others. To me the combination is rare and pleasing. I am happy to know her and happy that she is doing what she wants/needs/loves.

Today's VIS image shows part of the western half of Jezero Crater. The Perserverance Rover is located in this part of the crater – near the delta deposit (upper right side of image) formed by the influx of silt laden water into the crater at a time during Mars' past that was wetter. The crater most likely hosted a lake for a period of time. Jezero Crater is 47km (29 miles) in diameter.
This martian scene spans 19 x 67 kilometers (12 x 42 miles). To see where on Mars this area lies, and to download high-resolution versions of the image go to themis.asu.edu/zoom-20240226a

As the regimantl chaplain reads a prayer for strenght and patience, and a regimental commander speaks to the Cadets of perserverance, the formation stands and honors the tradition. 20 June 2013, Fort Lewis-McChord, Washington.
