We have had some storms and rain recently resulting in flooding in our parks. The sand bars are fortunately not eroding much.

"Persistence Pays Off"
10/8/2019
This was the only sunset where the skies decided to cooperate during my trip to Acadia National Park last week. I took this after sunset and there was no color until several minutes after the sun had officially set. A lot of people had left thinking the sky wasn't going to be pretty, but I know better when I see high clouds like this that it's worth sticking around for a little bit.

The interval between persistence and possibility is itself spatial. It is a living, ecologically driven attentiveness to situatedness~~to the instances, encounters and material relations that remain~in~play. Here, persistence does not signify stasis, nor does possibility belong to an abstract future. Both are active within the situated encounter: the ceramic body persists, yet continually enters relations through which its propositions may become otherwise.
Attentiveness is the capacity to sense and respond to these changing conditions. It is an attentiveness to the forces through which bodies inhabit, affect and are affected by their surroundings; to the atmospheric and material exchanges through which a spatial proposition acquires its particular instance of existence. Each instance is situated, but never entirely self-contained. It carries traces of previous encounters while opening onto relations not yet realised.
The spatial therefore emerges within this interval~~a living middle in which persistence and possibility remain entangled. What has become materially present is not closed upon itself; what remains possible is not detached from the material conditions through which it might emerge. Both remain active, held in a dynamic ecology of correspondence.
The proposition becomes available~~withdrawn: present enough to encounter, open enough to be furthered. Its futurity resides in this unresolved condition, in the capacity of situated instances to remain~in~play.
Perhaps this is the ecological force of your spatial triad: not the organisation of three distinct principles, but their continuing correspondence within a living middle.
Attentiveness senses the relations. The ceramic body persists through them. Force~~form carries their propositions towards what has not yet happened.
This weed started growing from a small patch of moss on an ornamental boulder. The root then found its way down the boulder into the ground. I haven’t had the heart to pull it - yet.
The blossoms on this star magnolia tree have been bitten by frost, yet they continue to declare that spring is here!

This was a dizzying display. It was quite windy and the Striated Pardalote was being blown around at a different rate to the leaf with the lerp. So every time they came close to each other the Pardalote made a lunge for the treat. This went on for a few minutes with dozens of attempts.

This beautiful red-bellied woodpecker kept coming to the suet feeder again and again. "You will get fat eating like that!"
Peak District National Park in August. This was one of those moments where the reward came only after patience and quiet persistence. Reaching this viewpoint meant walking slowly as the light changed minute by minute, waiting for the sun to drop just enough to set the valley on fire. The heather in the foreground was alive with colour, the rocks anchoring the scene while the landscape unfolded endlessly below. The struggle was resisting the urge to rush the shot, trusting that the light would align, and it did. That calm golden glow was the payoff, a reminder that nature always works on its own schedule and rewards those willing to slow down and observe.

Visited a location today with many rusty farm equipment pieces. This new growth was a lovely find. Thanks for your appreciation, Gail

Elements, as a great cycle in nature, as life.
Elements, as composing cycles of reminds, along hours in a watch, along days on calendar...
Turbulences in our minds. They last.
How much is too much? Sometimes forever.
From my observations I can say that bees are territorial. The smaller long-horned bees are often "patrolling" the sunflower patch for interlopers and then pouncing on their backs in an attempt to get the bigger bees to leave.

This pied shag thought that a leaf might be a nice gift. Despite all the efforts and persistence to give the offering, the other shag was not interested in the least. Uploaded three images of this series, because these two birds made me smile.

This shot was taken at the beginning of the winter in Lignano (Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Italy): as the title suggests, the symmetry and the persistence of the various elements ware what caught my attention.
That's right...it's that same chunk of curbing and the same bit of red PVC wire. I'd thought by now the wind would have blown away all evidence of that strange twining of asphalt and wire.
But no.
Despite 3 nights of light frost and falling leaves. Plus about 3 months after their blooming season, this one lone Azalea bloom opens and shows it's great color as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
I have no doubt there is a message in this unusual event.
Feel free to share what this image says to you in your comments here. I look forward to seeing them.
Thank you all for your visits, wonderful comments, many invitations and awards. Thank you also for following my work.
I have met some amazing people here in Flickr and thank you all for being who you are and for the lovely art you speak through.
Happy Weekend to all.

All my life I envied women for being able to wear dresses and skirts, pretty buses, copious jewelry, makeup, and for having a womanly figure.
And I wasn't allowed :(
But, through diligence and persistence, now I can.
And I am happy.
I hate to steal a title from Dalí, but I just can't seem to find the right word I'm thinking of for this, and that title is as close as I can get for the moment.

Part 5 of 10 of a photo story shot April 2013.
Inspired by of the ideas put forth in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Philosophy of Composition" and based on a couple of photos from back in my 365.
"the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world---and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover."
