My first and second days were a bust with the sky - but on the third day, I was given a beautiful sky to compliment this fantastic landscape
It was really windy and this Monarch hung on this flower as the wind blew and bent the flowers it to and fro.. I admired them for their tenacity! Somehow they know they have to get this nectar to make the long journey that lies ahead of them.
Haven't see quote as many Monarchs this year as years past but I know many people are aware of their plight and doing everything they can to help save these beautiful butterflies... ; )
Pray for Peace!
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again
And fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all
Go under
And fade out again
And fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again
And fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
While this may seem like a tender moment between this bull and cow bison, he was in the mood and she definitely was not! He kept nudging her with his head while she generally ignored him. He was persistent (and obnoxious!) enough to where she got up and tried to walk away. When she did he followed closely, continuing his advances. She grew tired of him and laid back down. We watched for a good 10 to 15 minutes admiring both of their strong wills - his trying and her denying!

Thanks for your views and comments! They are much appreciated!
dragon characters. Mine being an Astral dragon, his being a Mirage dragon that kept repeatedly breaking into the Astral realm just to get near her and her who kept kicking him out till his persistence finally wore her down.

I had just about given up hope of getting a decent shot of this one when it finally paused on this fallen leaf.
Every year, for the past four yrs, I have tried to grow sunflowers. The workers around the house, the lawn guy and others, would destroy my flowers, only a small half open flower would survive. This year I planted the Mammoth Sunflower. It is over 5' ft tall, reaching up to the sky. In a few days the flower will bloom. Persistence does pay off.

With the cold patch we had in fall, many leaves just dried out before coloring. But many of the dried leaves clung to the trees and stayed through winter, especially Japanese maples. At the moment of this capture, the snow was coming down fast - on me, my camera and the trees and I had to increase the speed to 1/1250 to "freeze" the snow flakes.
A persistent fern manages to find a way to survive. It is growing on a Victorian steam engine parked at the train station in Betys-y-Coed, Wales.
I knew there was an owl that frequented this hole but every time I went there, he was not visible. Finally, today in the bitter cold and blowing snow, he was hanging out where I could see him.
Eastern Screech Owls are highly nocturnal, and therefore are rarely seen hunting and feeding.The owls swoop down from their perch to capture their prey; they rarely hover while hunting and have been known to cache uneaten prey items in tree cavities. These owls are primarily solitary except during the breeding season.

Mother Nature is so amazing! Plants will find a way to survive almost anywhere, especially weeds :) I observed these plucky survivors basking in the morning sun in Granada, Spain.

PERSISTENCE...Spinning deer hair is an acquired skill that is learned through persistence. This Morrish Mouse is an example of persistence. 1, 2, 3, and on the 4th try I was satisfied with an acceptable result. Life is like this tie. Persistence can and will make all the difference in the world to the outcome.

It's been a cold spring. The last children of winter cling to us. And although I enjoy the winds of change, I see in that persistence something heroic and beautiful.

The beauty of erosion.

When you stand on the rim of the Grand Canyon, you stand on the precipice of time. The persistence of the river shows in the strata of the rocks - each layer another epoch through which the river patiently ran its course. It makes me feel small - the same feeling I get standing on the edge of the ocean or looking into the endless night sky.
The Canyon teaches us the same lesson that Herman Hess found in trees. The River is persistent, single-minded. Day after day, year after year, century after century, the river pursues its single purpose. It wants to be nothing other than what it is.
When we achieve that. We are home. That is happiness.
(see Herman Hess' "Trees: Reflections & Poems")
Anyway, all waxing poetic aside. the Grand Canyon is pretty awesome! Pictures do it no justice... But it's fun to try.
Happy shooting!
