I saw these dandelions blooming in my yard last Friday, two days before the first snow of the season. Dandelions are tough.

Forever is about the Père-Lachaise Cemetery is in Paris where Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Marcel Proust, Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein and many others are buried.
It will be released starting in September
Next year there also will be a DVD boxed set of her films.
The flowering trees and shrubs are being persistent against the snow and cold. It's yet to be seen how much damage has been done by the frost and snow.
I'm making a "Persistence of Vision" toy, which will show a programmed message in eight red light- emitting diodes.
In the Fab Lab we have a roll of copper foil backed with a conductive adhesive. I used a knife to cut out a hand shape. (In this case, I found it faster to work this way than to use the vinyl cutter.) I covered a small metal container with a vinyl sticker to insulate the foil board from the conductive tin. I soldered some surface mount LEDs and resistors onto the copper. I still have more to do!
If my photography had to be confined to a single subject, then that would be buildings that are falling apart. There are two levels on which I see these images as I seek to render them onto a piece of paper.
The first level is obvious, which is the lines. Whereas a new building will normally keep a boring symmetry, the alteration of lines makes for an interesting image. Sometimes the lines lead somewhere, but more often than not they remain hopelessly parallel, as if to point us in a direction of their eventual demise.
The other level is more emotional. These buildings have long ago given up the task of ensuring that everything remain at 90 degree angles, and allowed the effects of gravity to begin changing the course of things. Eventually, the vertical will become horizontal, but until that time comes there is a task at hand to remain as originally intended.
This image works on both levels. The window shows nothing on the inside, and once horizontal lines now point to the direction the building will eventually be. I think about how once people lived here and how it probably held an individual or a family, with hopes and dreams. The inhabitants have moved on in one way or another, and without them, the building is also in the process of moving on.
And after cutting some holes in the box for the buttons and applying a
great deal of tape to hold the components down inside, the persistence
of vision device was successfully modded into a golf ball case. Now
what? Well, I have plans for attaching it to the seat of a bicycle and
scrolling messages while I ride.
Persistence implies keeping your head down and continuing to work when things take longer than you expect. - James Clear

This is a series I am working on titled "The Persistence of Loss." I aim to capture the pieces of us that we lose along the way.

“Mommy, can I eat some of the chocolate cake?”
No, not yet. Wait a few minutes.
“Now can I eat some?”
No.
“Now?”
No.
“Mommy, can I eat some chocolate now?”
Still no. I’ll give you some to eat in a few minutes.
“Now?”
No.
“Has it been a few minutes? Now? Can I have some now?”
A three year old's persistence is incredible. And granted, this is a stretch, but the persistence of the Pharisees was pretty incredible also. They persisted in badgering the man-born-blind-who-now-could-see. They persisted with his parents. They seemed to be seeking one, and only one answer: "you’re right, oh-smart-Pharisees…. The man that opened my eyes is, in fact, a sinner…and you’re right, he shouldn’t be healing on the Sabbath.”
The man-who-could-now-see didn’t give the desired answer. He tried to be nice and patient, I think: “I have told you already and you did not listen….” But it didn’t really matter what he said—if the answer wasn’t what the Pharisees wanted, they would continue their dogged persistence.
The man’s answers amuse me. And the Pharisees, well, they sadden me. Because I just want them to get it for once. To actually recognize, and acknowledge, that something bigger than themselves is at work here. Someone bigger than themselves. And I want to see their persistence turned in the direction of how to open their hearts to this man who could make a difference for them as well—on a Sabbath or not.
Hey, it's big!
I'll just grab it.
Uh, yeah... maybe if I get my jaw underneath...
Maybe if I chew off a bit...
GOT IT!!!!

It's hard to believe we're only 4 days away from Thanksgiving, and these azaleas are still blooming in my yard.

PERSISTENCE
All movement is not progress, just as all motivation is not positive.
When the road ahead is unclear, flip a bitch and throw it in reverse.
The team will kiss your tail when you blindly accel up in their grill.
Leading by impeding is most effective when you are pointed bass ackward in the right direction.

Introduced, yearlong-green, perennial, erect legume; to 1m tall. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each to 30 mm long and with toothed margins near the tip; the stalk of central leaflet is longer than the two lateral ones. Flowerheads are racemes of 20-30, mostly purple, pea-like flowers. Pods are cylindrical and spineless, with 2-3 coils. Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of the Mediterranean and Asia, it is sown on deep well-drained soils (e.g. alluvial flats) and is naturalised along roadsides. Does not like acid soils with a pHCa below 5 and is very sensitive to aluminium to depth. Deep-rooted, high quality, high production potential legume, it is suitable for hay, silage, grazing and cropping. Varieties vary in their winter dormancy and disease resistance. There are a number of leaf and crown diseases which can affect lucerne stands on the coast, so
careful variety selection and stand management is essential. Poor basal cover of pure lucerne stands can lead to erosion. Weed competition can severely reduce lucerne establishment – plan well ahead. Causes bloat in cattle and photosensitisation in horses. Requires rotational grazing for best production and persistence. Cut or graze at 10 per cent flower or when crown shoots are 1-2 cm long on 50 per cent of plants. Do not graze below 5 cm. Back fencing aids persistence and production when used for grazing.
Cloud rolls in over Sanna Bay from the North but a small gap in the clouds persists on the western horizon and lets through some golden light to colour the water and sand on the shoreline.

Persistence of Vision is at once an artwork, an event, and a reflection of community.
The building blocks of the piece are small pewter portraits of Charlotte citizens. These heads precisely reflect the demographic makeup of Mecklenburg County, and are individually controlled by 1600 discrete motors.
At the start of a workweek the heads are gathered into a porous cloud. Gradually, gracefully, they move one by one to create an epic three-dimensional face. This likeness then slowly reverts back into a cloud.
The following week a different portrait builds and dissolves. In a cycle of assembly and dispersion, new faces are continually formed over time.
For example, one sequence portrays an elderly Latina. Reaching an optical crescendo on Wednesday afternoon, her face gradually disappears by Friday evening.
Subsequent weeks witness the formation of a 25-year-old African-American man, an Asian boy, a middle-aged Caucasian woman, and so on. Persistence of Vision is not “of” anyone in particular; it is “of everyone”.
An allegory for the justice system on both the macrocosmic and microcosmic levels, the sculpture reflects the organic process of the law and the society it serves.
Persistence, hard work, getting into positions I can hardly get out of, editing to the limit of my very limited abilities and having the good fortune to own a beautiful X20. That's how I sometimes get the result I want.
This is from my return visit to Whiteley Shopping Centre on a nearly people free early Sunday morning. The bronze rabbit/hares are by Lucy Casson.
