Common mullein or great mullein (Verbascum thapsus), with a velvet leaf, thrives on disturbed soils, or even cracks in asphalt driveways.
"Persistence Pays Off"

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.

I'm going to get that nut if it kills me!! Determined Great Tit on the peanut feeder - Bartley Green Birmingham UK 21st December 2019.
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.
And, she did. Chuck thought he had moved the blind cord out of reach. That changed when our newly adopted cat, Molly, received an early Christmas present of cat furniture. Santa Maria, CA.
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.

Own Storm.
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.
"Love is probably the strongest emotion that you can feel.
It's very natural -
and I wouldn't want to say easy -
but natural and comfortable to write about,
and there are so many different forms of it,
millions of layers -
you could write forever about it."
~ Shawn Mendes ~
When macular degeneration took away much of her ability to see "the whole picture" Jane gave up oil painting for paper collage . . . just another way to express the many layers of her long, phenomenal life, shared in an infinite array of mediums.
Jane loved Sedona and visited there every September to absorb the landscape and interpret it on canvas or in journals.
I'm blessed to be surrounded by her art in every corner of my home, so her spirit will live on forever.
Visited a location today with many rusty farm equipment pieces. This new growth was a lovely find. Thanks for your appreciation, Gail

Uniquely beautiful carving of the Tennessee rock created by the persistent flow of water makes the new Winding Stair Park in Lafayette a jewel.
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.
Os ventos que às vezes tiram
algo que amamos, são os
mesmos que trazem algo que
aprendemos a amar...
Por isso não devemos chorar
pelo que nos foi tirado e sim,
aprender a amar o que nos foi
dado.Pois tudo aquilo que é
realmente nosso, nunca se vai
para sempre...
Pretty great start to 2026 with the weather being extremely kind. As my wife was in respite care for 7 days it gave me some freedom to get out with the camera. When I'd booked this I hadn't even thought about gala's and I had other commitments. However I was still able to get out to the GWR and SVR events. The final working for Pendennis was on Monday 5th with a Jack Boskett charter which was very tempting but I decided to pass on the offer.
GWR 4-6-0's 4079 Pendennis Castle and 6880 Betton Grange doublehead at Stanton on the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway on 4-1-26.
This was my third attempt at getting a satisfactory shot here during the last few weeks. Certainly some degree of persistence finally paid off. The snow on the distant hills adds to the effect.
The working is the 14.10 Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway service.
Pendennis Castle was visiting from Didcot.

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.
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."

"Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in." - Bill Bradley
-----
I went out today and picked up a bunch of bird feeders and seed for the backyard in hopes that I can attract some interesting birds to the backyard as the spring and summer progress, but of course the first "bird" I had at (my decoy) feeder was this guy.
Now, he can jump pretty high, but he's yet to convince me that he's a bird. No bother though, I specifically set up a feeder in the tree so that the squirrels would have easy access to some of the bigger seeds and hopefully won't destroy the other feeders designed for the birds. Fingers crossed, but as of day one, the plan seems to be working!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

As goofy as Mr. Personality is, he never gives up. Points for persistence & ambition. Unfortunately, I got distracted by a raptor flyover & didn't see what happened. The log was empty when I next looked.
