I composed this image of the Bow River and Bow Valley while hiking the Muleshoe Trail in Canada's Banff National Park. The hiking path starts at river level, so I had climbed quite a bit.

Muleshoe Trail is a fine trail at the beginning, running through spacious meadows that provide sweeping vistas of Bow Valley, but about three-quarters of the way up, the trail disappears in a tangle of deadfall. Persevere through this mess of rampikes, and one will reach a summit cloaked in trees, but views can be found a short distance away. The trail terminates in Muleshoe Ridge, east of Corey Mountain, but I must confess that while I have hiked Muleshoe Trail many times, I've never made it that far.

The name "Bow" refers to the reeds that grew along its banks and which were used by the local First Nations people to make bows; the Blackfoot language name for the river is Makhabn, meaning "river where bow weeds grow."

Hot summerrrrrrrrrrrrr😣

Been Away Too Long...

Sometimes it does pay to read the manual. An embarrassing admission...for as long as I have used the Canon 5D...dating back to 2007 I had never fooled with a setting that affected focusing in the AI Servo mode. The AI Servo mode allows the camera to track objects moving and to shoot at a high rate of speed. There are 2 settings that affect this AI Servo Mode. You can give either equal or priority to focus and shutter release. Mine had been on Equal for both settings. Fast Forward to Instagram. I can't remember, but I thought I saw a member asking about why he was not getting the focus he expected from the very lens I use. (EF100-400mm F/4.5-5.6L, USM). That led me to an article on the net...and saw that all you had to do was set the priority to focus...which was clearly laid out in the manual. 😣 Now the down side is that you cannot pull off a rapid succession of shots...but I think that I can actually see a major improvement in the image quality. I may switch back and forth...who cares.

Wild Daisies..

Captured on a tranquil afternoon, a field of pristine white wild daisies dances rhythmically in the soft breeze, adorning the park's path with an ethereal beauty. Untouched and unblemished by human hands, these wildflowers display an unyielding spirit, blossoming with a natural grace that requires no cultivation or intervention. Their vibrant presence serves as a potent and moving testament to resilience, a constant encouragement to persevere and find strength, even in the face of life's inevitable anxieties and daily burdens that can often seem to overwhelm us.

What a wonderful year. I would like to thank you all, for your visits, for your time, and for the gift of friendship. The world has become borderless through your photos.

2008 has been a very very great year for me. Thank you Lord, thank you so much. Truly, you know what is best for us.

2009 looks promising. Let us continue to hope, persevere and pray.

Wishing all the best to us, and to our loved ones

Happy New Year!!!

Explored. Thanks again for comments and faves.

I really do have a love for wild Owls.

a lot of failed attempts went into this shot, but I persevered.

this is one of a family with young I can hear in a tree nearby.

the issue I've been dealing with is these owls are very nocturnal as they get mobbed by blackbirds & other small birds whenever I've seen them in daylight.

I'm hoping to soon get some shots of the owllets

Hoooooraaayyy!!! ＼(*T▽T*)／

Hardly the best quality image I've ever uploaded, but I've persevered with it and figured it was worth sharing for interest value alone.

It features a pair of Woodhead class 76s, units 76032 and 76031, heading down the valley toward Wath-upon-Dearne with a rake of empty MGR wagons from Fiddlers Ferry Power Station.

On the hill in the background lies Wombwell and to the left of the locos is Mitchell Main Signal Box, which controlled the crossing barriers on Bradberry Balk Lane.

As can be seen by the span of the catenary gantries, the railway system in these parts was once more extensive, at least regards sidings and loops. Coal was still King too when I took the shot (there were many mines hereabouts), but the output was nowhere near as prolific as it had been perhaps 20 - 30 years earlier.

Today the railway has disappeared and the trackbed, once resonating to the passage of countless coal trains, is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail. Climb on your bike here and you can ride across the Pennines on the closed section of the old Woodhead route - well, with the exception of the tunnel itself that is.

The surroundings have significantly changed too - the empty fields beyond the train are now part of an industrial and retail park, and the area bisected by a bypass named Mitchells Way.

Rather like the coal industry in these parts, this is a bit of South Yorkshire's history that's gone for good.

NB. My notes tell me that 76031 used to be 76044 - I don't know the story behind that but maybe it was renumbered when fitted for multiple working.

I haven't done much woodland photography and it shows! There is a real art form to it and I will have to persevere and try under different conditions. I am constantly drawn to some of the amazing woodland shots here on Flickr and see I have a lot to learn before I get the sort of shot I desire.

This was a snap taken whilst wandering through this ancient woodland site in Wiltshire. There are some amazing trees in this forest and I only stopped for about 30 minutes on my way to a golfing event down there. I'd love to go back at some point and explore a little more of this place.

to be honest … I’m really not sure what to say about this shot. sorry 😣

Amid the Coronavirus crisis, the world halted.... Nations leaders, scientist and medical communities seems to be handicapped by a microscopic element that is birthed in a time we thought we covered many of the ills we have came to know throughout history, only to find out something like this is new and can still become us.

May God help us all and give us the calamity to persevere this crisis. There is one bright aspect to this Virus. World leaders are no longer focused on wars, politics, power hunger, etc… And human beings are focused on how to survive even by taking the most drastic measures of enforced and self quarantine, brought us all to one common goal and that is how to overcome this crisis. Maybe the birth of this virus was for the sole purpose of taking a break to rethink our priorities.

May God give eternal peace to those who fell victims. RIP!

When I took this photo, I thought about all of the innocents on both sides of Russia's bullying of its neighbor, Ukraine. Here's to remembering the lost and a plea for the rest to hold on and persevere. This was taken in Dow Gardens, a beautiful botanical stroll in Midland, MI, August, 2022.

No one says:

the sea is resilient;

the stars persevere.

That little bird has spent all day hammering at a promising speck,

he must be stubborn, so silly.

Forces of nature,

Yes, relentless as the sun rises.

Egoless instinct, a clear focused desire.

Pursuit of what keeps the blood pumping;

the inspiration of hope; the ever evenflow.

Relentless, yes,

as the sunrise.

October 22, 2022: May God bless us here in Florida. We're still cleaning up from Hurricane Ian and many are still accessing their homes by boat, as the St. John's River waters from the surge still have not subsided. We will never forget the 114 who died here in Florida and several in the other states. May God give those in need all they need to survive this tragedy, and the strength and courage to persevere. In the matchless name of Jesus, Amen.

How does a moment last forever?

How does our happiness endure?

Through the darkest of our troubles

Love is beauty, love is pure

Love pays no mind to desolation

It flows like a river through the soul

Protects, perceives, and perseveres

And makes us whole

This is a needle made of bone like those the Vikings used to make socks. I bought it in Oslo in 2017 and since then have been trying, on and off, to make sense of the youtube tutorials - the problem being that all of them show a different way of starting off, and all of them are incomprehensible when you are battling with needle, yarn, thumb and loops. Anyway, just for Macro Mondays, I persevered until I finally understood how to do the "cast on" row of the Oslo stitch. Now I have to work out how to do the rest of it. Crochet is so much easier. I can't get all the needle into the frame as it is four and a half inches long. Here you see the top two and three quarter inches of it.

per·se·ver·ance [pur-suh-veer-uhns] –noun 1. steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

A lone photographer points his long lens hoping to capture shots of Elk along the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. I guess it's the lot of all photographers that if you want to get the shot you have to be at the right place and at the right time. And not only that, you must be patient and persistent. You never know when the light will change, your subject will move, or something will happen.

A great photo is usually not luck but often comes to those who persevere!

Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, USA

"Taos Pueblo is considered be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the USA. … The San Geronimo Church built in 1850 is a Registered National Historic Landmark. It is one of the youngest buildings in the village. It is an extraordinary example of the architectural achievements of the natives… . Today about 3/4 of the population shares in some of the Catholic practices while the native rituals perseveres 100% in daily life. The Native religion is verbally passed down from generation to generation.”

—Taos Pueblo Visitor Brochure

Taos Pueblo is the only living Native American community designated both a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark.

Okay, okay ... silly old woman here. I was determined to take this shot of my 11+ year old cat's collar (which has been on her for 11 years) WHILE it was on her neck, rather than taking it off and laying it pleasantly on the stove. But tiny little Miss Teddie was most uncooperative! She was a wiggle worm, and most grouchy at the prospect of my trying to hold her, her collar, my camera ... anyway, I persevered! That bow is less than 1" wide. And I'm happy to exclaim "Buttons AND Bows" on a squirming object! Happy MACRO MONDAYS!

Is part of what we should imitate, we humans .....

After a very frustrating start to my day which commenced with forgetting my wellingtons, then realising I had left my landscape lens at home and having to return for it, only 10 miles thank goodness! I eventually got my act together and took this. I really liked what my eye saw but getting the camera to cope with the dynamic range was quite hard. I persevered by adding 2 filters and several tweaks of the settings. I was even more pleased when I realised I had captured my fellow togger Steve beneath the tree on the left. Thanks to Iain, Duncan and Steve for putting up with my age related forgetfulness also the great company, soup and cakes. Looking forward to the next outing...........

.. I laughed at a car with 3 cylinders and said it was a sewing machine with 4 wheels .. I know that wasn't nice .. please forgive me .. 😣

In flower terms, it corresponds to this beautiful and delicate daisy's ability to persevere and stand upright (and look amazingly good while doing it) despite days with little to no sun and nights with temperatures around or below freezing.

In relation to humans, resilience describes the ability of people or communities to survive difficult life situations such as crises or disasters without permanent impairment.

Resilience is a special power of the psyche to withstand stress - a distinctively courageous and life-affirming attitude. And it's something we all carry within us. So you don't have to learn it somewhere, you just have to train this skill. Whether we always look astonishingly good as our daisy is in the eye of the beholder. So there is no guarantee for that.

And so I wish you access to your resilience this week. No matter whether you need it or not.

Look within yourself and perceive this superpower that you were born with. Take it and be grateful for it. Because gratitude is an important part of resilience.

Bezogen auf Blumen entspricht es der Fähigkeit dieses wunderschönen und zarten Gänseblümchens trotz Tagen mit wenig bis gar keiner Sonne und Nächten mit Temperaturen um oder gar unter dem Gefrierpunkt durchzuhalten und aufrecht zu stehen (und dabei auch noch erstaunlich gut auszusehen).

Bezogen auf den Menschen beschreibt Resilienz die Fähigkeit von Personen oder Gemeinschaften, schwierige Lebenssituationen wie Krisen oder Katastrophen ohne dauerhafte Beeinträchtigung zu überstehen.

Resilienz ist eine besondere Kraft der Psyche, Belastungen auszuhalten – eine ausgeprägt lebensmutige und lebensbejahende Haltung. Und es ist etwas, was wir alle in uns Tragen. Man muss es sich also nicht erst irgendwo aneigenen, sondern diese Fertigkeit nur trainieren. Ob wir dabei zusätzlich immer erstaunlich gut aussehen wie unser Gänseblümchen liegt im Auge der jeweiligen Betrachter. Dafür gibt es also keine Garantie.

Und so wünsche ich Euch für diese Woche einen Zugang zu Eurer Resilienz. Ganz gleich, ob Ihr sie gerade nötig habt oder nicht.

Schaut in Euch hinein und nehmt diese Superkraft wahr, mit der Ihr schon geboren wurdet. Nehmt sie war und seid dankbar dafür. Denn Dankbarkeit ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil von Resilienz.

I was up at 7:30 this morning for a total gamble on this. The forecast was shite and had it clouding up by 11, but nevertheless, I persevered. Thankfully the clouds just vanished and the sun fell in to a huge blue patch right on cue. Made the 2+ hours drive more than worth it!

Sunday's are now my only days off work so while I can't get out for the majority of RHTT diagrams, I'll have to make the most of this one and 3J11.

This is 56105 and partner 56113 with the Sunday's only 3J77 Carlisle circular via Alnmouth, running just shy of 15 early at Gilsland.

Perhaps the most wonderful thing of all is this: God lifts us not only from what we are by nature to what Adam was in the Garden of Eden, but to what Adam was to become in the presence of God, and would have been had he persevered in obedience. The gospel does not make us like Adam in his innocence – it makes us like Christ, in all the perfection of His reflection of God. - Sinclair Ferguson

Normally thought of as a harbinger of Spring, it was rather cheering to see this robin that had elected to persevere through our winter season instead of overwintering in a warmer clime. It makes Springtime feel a little closer :-)

Ruddy Darter (Sympetrum sanguineum) - male

I do like a Ruddy Darter. So much character.

Challenging enough trying to pin one down and when you do find an agreeable individual they are always shifting position. Just when you think you have that composition down the little sod twitches it's head or tail 😁

This becomes a bigger nightmare when you have a stiff breeze - stiff enough to knock the subject right out of the viewfinder. That damn stem of grass was waving like an angry snake!

Still, I persevered until I had the shot I wanted

June was one long hot start to summer with very bright sunshine that has seriously begun to find it's way past the seals in my camera. Will my Agfa Isolette 1 make it to December, or will the bellows give up before the summer is over? I'm going to persevere and see how long I can use this basic folding camera that has given me so much joy before I have no choice but to send it for a major rebuild..
