‘Get up the wall son’ I can hear the Robin say ( expletives deleted ).
I hope you have enjoyed this interlude in the coronavirus pandemic. We all need a distraction. This one is somewhat less destructive than those that thousands have opted for.
So watch this space, I don’t know what my next fixation will be.......that is the attraction of anticipation. David H.
For my one thousandth post, I offer this artistic rendering of the windswept Jeffrey Pine on Sentinel Dome that Ansel Adams made famous when it was still alive. By 1981, it was on its last legs, its needles gone, its bark beginning to flake off--but it still had character. I was fortunate to see it against a very dramatic sky at sunset.
Compare this tree with normal Jeffrey pines.

Persistence pays off! I stood under some trees for my entire lunch hour today, trying to get a leaf in mid-fall. It took probably a hundred shots to get this one
Actually taken at Radnor Lake, but I have lots of other shots to share this Saturday so I wanted to go ahead and post this one now!

Common mullein or great mullein (Verbascum thapsus), with a velvet leaf, thrives on disturbed soils, or even cracks in asphalt driveways.
A mural, in an alley just off Ave. du Parc, Montreal. I guess the melting watch is a reference to `the persistence of memory` by Dali?

This is the third time in the last few days that we've found a fully built nest on one of the van tires. With all of the perfectly nice trees & bushes to build a nest in, we're wondering what this bird is thinking!
Shot this guy at Black Lane on the CSX St. Louis Line Sub near Caseyville, IL.. Waited for over half an hour for this thing to finally move, and the waiting sure paid off.
I decided I didn't really like the idea I had to "start over fresh" on a new account, so I'll continue using this account for now. It was kind of a spur of the moment idea to start over fresh, anyway.
"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.

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.

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.
