Nell'uliveto di collina, a novembre nulla cambia. La foglia persistente dell'Ulivo mantiene il proprio colore ceruleo e il paesaggio muta soltanto alla carezza della luce radente, propria delle ore estreme del giorno. Proprio per questa ragione è facile notare gli intrusi: alberi di specie diversa, che, ammantandosi d'oro evidenziano la loro diversità ..... ..

Peričnik Falls is one of the best-known waterfalls in Slovenia. It flows from a hanging valley in Triglav National Park into the glacial Vrata Valley, where the water of Peričnik Creek then flows into Bistrica Creek.
I had to deal with persistent showers when I got here although the showers relented from time to time making some shots possible. The valley was bursting with autumn colours and the walk up to the falls is short and intense.
The blend of red, orange and yellow colours coupled with flowing water and a big rocky outcrop, makes for a compelling viewing, especially if you love waterfalls. Kinda like xmas coming early :)
It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls you will ever see and oh..slap means waterfalls in Slovenian :)

A second after the previously uploaded shot with the crow now left behind as the buzzard flies on, before the very persistent crow comes back for another attack.
It came a bit closer than on my first visit the previous Wedneday, but still middle distance and heavy cropping of the frame.
Thanks for viewing and thank you for your comments and faves
St. Kitts & Nevis
left the Atlantic Ocean, right on the Caribbean Sea, in the middle St. Kitts and in the background the island of Nevis.
Il suo nome corretto è Saint Cristopher e Nevis e deriva dallo scopritore di questo piccolo paradiso terrestre caraibico: Cristoforo Colombo.
Stato insulare dell’America Centrale, Saint Kitts e Nevis corrisponde a un micro arcipelago formato soltanto da due isole appartenenti al gruppo delle Piccole Antille. Di origine vulcanica, le isole hanno i larghi picchi centrali ricoperti dalla giungla e pendii ripidi che conducono a spiagge disabitate.
La vasta maggioranza della popolazione vive vicino al mare, dove il terreno è piano. Qui, musei, antiche locande,piantagioni da zucchero e chiese seicentesche si susseguono ... non esistono costruzioni più alte di due piani. Numerosi fiumi scendono dalle montagne in entrambe le isole, fornendo l’acqua necessaria alla popolazione locale. Saint Kitts e Nevis devono la loro fama soprattutto alle tartarughe marine che hanno eletto questo piccolo Stato a loro personale nursery e vi tornano per nidificare proprio sulla spiaggia nella quale sono nate. Molte le attività educative e le forme di eco turismo incentrate proprio sulle tartarughe, che possono anche essere adottate a distanza. Queste due splendide isole tropicali formano il Paese più piccolo dell’Emisfero Occidentale e ciò consente ai turisti di visitare le loro principali attrattive in due o tre giorni, riservando il resto della vacanza per rilassarsi. Grazie al clima da favola, infatti, è possibile abbronzarsi e fare lunghi bagni praticamente tutto l’anno. Per gli amanti dello snorkeling, infine, Saint Kitts e Nevis rappresenta un vero e proprio parco giochi, dove perdersi tra pesci pagliaccio, tartarughe marine e coralli.
La Capitale Basseterre si trova nell’isola di Saint Kitts ed è stata fondata dai francesi nel 1627. La città si affaccia su una baia delimitata da colline di un verde smeraldo e accoglie la maggior parte della popolazione delle due isole. Il nome della capitale è una delle poche tracce rimaste della colonizzazione francese, dal momento che attualmente l’influenza dominante è quella inglese. Anche dal punto di vista urbanistico, Basseterre ha un’impronta chiaramente anglofila. Sebbene l’incendio del 1867 abbia distrutto quasi tutti gli edifici storici, alcune case vittoriane in pietra con il piano superiore in legno sono ancora visibili e offrono alla vista lo spettacolo delle loro fantasiose decorazioni sempre molto appariscenti.
Consistency, persistency, and hope will help you navigate those dark clouds of doubt and tribulation. They will help keep you in flight through your storms.

Our persistent marine layer has deposited dew drops on this lovely decorative dahlia, making it even more beautiful. It is growing in a pot just outside the dining room window.
Happy Wednesday! Take care and stay safe.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

This hungry squirrel in my garden, didn't get the memo that the cone was there to prevent it from getting to the bird seed, not to use it as a comfy seat while having a feast, making a mess lol!
Best viewed large.
Happy new week my friends =)
"There’s a light that shines in the darkness.
There’s a destiny waiting at the end of the road.
There’s meaning in the middle of this emptiness.
There’s a reason you’ve been asked to carry this heavy load.
Lessons are taught when we reach out
Farther than we thought we’d ever dare.
Faith abounds when we confront our deepest doubts,
Enduring more than we dreamed we could ever bear.
There’s a dawn waiting at the edge of every midnight.
There’s a seed planted with every fallen leaf.
With every wrong there’s the chance to make a right.
With every hour of suffering there’s an eternity of relief.
Our darkest moments give us the opportunity
For seasons of our greatest growth.
Everyday we work towards continuity
Of acceptance and persistent hope"
-Poem Written by Justin Farley
For the #Macromonday #Yellow theme. Taken in my garden as the sunlight gently pushed through the shadows on one of my climbing shrubs against a wall.... Keep safe friends. Keep the hope alive... #MacroMondays
Golden Plover persistent and somewhat special whistling tones are very characteristic, and can be heard over long distances. Everyone who has walked in the mountains during the summer in Norway has probably become acquainted with the Golden Plover. At least they have heard the monotonous sound, if they have not seen the bird itself.
In Norway, Golden Plover is found almost all over the country in higher-lying areas. It is quite shy and it usually do not get closer than 20-30 meters.
Even though the Golden Plover is a wading bird, it is not often you see it out in the water in search of food. It is more associated with dry mountains moors, where it also nests. When it gets to cold in Norway, the Golden Plover migrate to Southern and Western Europe.

Persistent male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker returns to check his work.
Uncommon migrant. Note the faint yellow coloration on his breast.
Some trees seem attractive year after year to these critters. This particular tree located in my rear yard has hosted spring revisits for many years. Also, evidence exists to suggest the running sap also provides a food source to early spring butterflies (Mourning Cloak, Eastern Comma, etc) that do not sip nectar and early arrival hummingbirds.
Stromboli (Strònguli in siciliano) è un'isola dell'Italia appartenente all'arcipelago delle isole Eolie, in Sicilia. Si tratta di un vulcano attivo facente parte dell'Arco Eoliano. Posta nel bacino Tirreno del mare Mediterraneo occidentale, l'isola è la più settentrionale delle Eolie e si estende su una superficie di 12,2 km².
L'edificio vulcanico è alto 926 m s.l.m. e raggiunge una profondità compresa tra 1300 m e 2400 m al di sotto del livello del mare. Stromboli ha una persistente attività esplosiva ed è uno dei vulcani più attivi del mondo.
Il nesonimo Stromboli va ricondotto al greco Στρογγύλη (Strabone), latino Strongylē (Plinio), con accostamento secondario a στρόμβος strómbos. L'etimo è il greco στρογγυλός strongylós ‘rotondo'...

El caqui, también conocido como palo santo, es una fruta tropical que pertenece a la familia de las Ebanáceas. Existen distintas especies de consumo, de tamaño y sabor diferenciados. El fruto es una baya, con el cáliz persistente, y que puede ser astringente (por la presencia de tanino) y entonces se da una maduración completa en el árbol, o bien no astringentes y de maduración completa después de la cosecha. Tiene la particularidad de que no se puede consumir en el momento de la recolección, ya que necesita un proceso de sobremaduración debido a su aspereza, por lo que se suele tratar antes untándolo con alguna clase de bebida alcohólica fuerte, como el coñac, el aguardiente o la cazalla.
Persimmon, also known as palo santo, is a tropical fruit that belongs to the Ebanáceas family. There are different species of consumption, of different size and taste. The fruit is a berry, with a persistent calyx, and it can be astringent (due to the presence of tannin) and then there is a complete maturation on the tree, or not astringent and complete maturation after harvest. It has the peculiarity that it cannot be consumed at the time of harvest, since it requires an over-ripening process due to its harshness, which is why it is usually treated before by smearing it with some kind of strong alcoholic beverage, such as cognac, brandy or the cazalla.

Le fruit est une baie, avec un calice persistant, et il peut être astringent (en raison de la présence de tanin) puis il y a une maturation complète sur l'arbre, ou non astringente et complète après la récolte. Il a la particularité de ne pas être consommé au moment de la récolte, car il nécessite un processus de sur-maturation en raison de sa dureté, c'est pourquoi il est généralement traité avant en l'enduisant d'une sorte de boisson alcoolisée forte, comme le cognac, le brandy ou le cazalla.
Die Tauben-Skabiose ist am Naturstandort auf sommerwarmen, mäßig trockenen, meist kalkreichen, lockeren Lehmböden anzutreffen. Die reichverzweigte Staude wird je nach Standort 50 bis 70 cm hoch und ist nur auf mageren Böden ausdauernd.
The pigeon scabiosis can be found at the natural site on warm, moderately dry, mostly lime-rich, loose loam soils. The richly branched perennial is 50 to 70 cm high depending on the location and is only persistent on poor soils.
Persistent offshore winds the last couple of days have flattened this part of the Tasman Sea adjoining the NSW Far South Coast at Cuttagee. Ominous rain cloud moving in from the southwest suggest quite different conditions tomorrow. A horizontal stitch of two frames taken by Petrov, a Phantom 3 Advanced quadcopter.
Unlike most pics that I regularly see on Hong Kong's popular Symphony of Lights laser show, this one is different as the heavy storm clouds persistently blanketed the skies. We could hardly see the laser beams because of the torrential rain and the overcast conditions. Still, there is no want of colors in the harbor which enveigle just about everyone.

Nymphaea lotus var. thermalis is a variety of Nymphaea lotus native to Romania. It is endemic to the thermal water of the Peţa River, Sânmartin, Bihor County, Romania. The area is protected as a nature reserve (51.0 hectares /126 acres) and consists of a rivulet along with three ponds. The water has a roughly constant temperature of around 30 °C, the site having an average air temperature of 10–11 °C. The thermal waters have been recorded as early as 1211, but it was only in 1799 that the first record of N. lotus was made, by Pál Kitaibel. Janos Tuzson proposed in 1907 that this population's unusual location could be explained by the persistent heat provided by the thermal springs that could have sustained the population at a pre-ice age time when the plant would have been spreading across the warmer regions of Europe.

Persistent poor weather/light and uncooperative wildlife are combining to make an unhappy photographer. So another dip into images from Yellowstone proved good for the morale !!

New International Version
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
