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 =)
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.

A pair of firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) copulating on a tree bark. Firebugs are well known for copulating for many hours, even whole week.
Para kowali bezskrzydłych (Pyrrhocoris apterus) kopulujących na korze drzewa. Kowale są poszechnie znane z trwających wiele godzin, a nawet cały tydzień, kopulacji.
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.
persistent internet issues keep plaguing my home. The Tech said it may continue until they can check out the whole neighborhood.
I might be on and off Flickr during this time.
This praying mantis has lost half of it’s right arm and his left wing, and is keeping in it’s effort to survive.
Ephesians 6:10-12
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.
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 !!
After persistent drought in Australia we had some of the worst bush fires in history starting in the summer of 2019. This carpeted the skies in thick smoke for many weeks. The skies where ruby red from the fires. The sunrise was so defused you can see it as a perfect red circle.

A persistent pattern of extremely warm and dry weather has suddenly given way frequent downpours. Rain seems to materialize out of nowhere and without warning. Air temperature drops ten or more degrees in just minutes, only to rebound once the storms move on. This morning brought another round of storms. Unlike the stealthy ones of the past few days, the arrival of this completes was heralded by ominously dark skies that actually caused the streetlights to illuminate. Thunder rumbled seemingly for miles creating the 'bowling alley' effect where the sound emanates from one point of the compass clear across to the opposite. Lightning split the sky open several times, impossibly bright even in daylight. I winced instinctively timely several times in response to the intense flashes of light. The storm churned north of the village for some time, creating stunning visuals but without precipitation. These are the moments I live for, experiencing the wrath of Mother Nature but at a reasonable safe distance. Finally I began to get peppered with ice cold droplets of rain. Not a soft summer rain that you don't mind being in. This was hard rain, stinging to the touch. Rain like this serves as a warning of what's ahead and I've learned to heed it. This forlorn pair of figurines, a Madonna and Virgin Mary, stand lonely vigil over a grave about to get blasted. You can almost sense the resignation of the distant figure: 'oh not again.' The head had broken off of the other figure, but had been reattached (as if no one would notice). Even the gash across the neck could not quell the look of defiance; unbowed even by the intensity of the impending storm.
This little cutie persistently accompanied us during the hike into the depths of Grand Canyon and many of his sisters and brothers were a common sight begging for food along the rim too. He looks innocent but don't let the looks deceive you. This is a harmless appearing critter that actually causes the MOST wildlife related injuries in Grand Canyon. Not an elk. Not a mountain lion. Not a rattle snake. But a squirrel.
Rock squirrels have become habituated to human food because people have been feeding them. These people think they are doing the right thing, but this behavior will spread diseases and cause injuries ultimately leading to an animal's demise. It is prohibited to feed wild animals in all National Parks, and they stay healthier when people do not feed them!
Due to getting used to human foods rock squirrels will beg, get aggressive and have been known to steal it directly from people's pockets, hands and backpacks!
Thanks to persistent tendonitis in my left foot, I've had to take a break from climbing mountains. So, over the past few weeks, I've been exploring places where the terrain is more or less flat.
That's what led me to this row of lime trees, which stood between the towns of Gohrisch and Pfaffendorf, next to a bright yellow rapeseed field. The trees are still there, of course, only the field is no longer bright.
By the way, my foot is almost fully functional again. So I can slowly start planning the next hike.
Dank einer hartnäckigen Sehnenscheidenentzündung in meinem linken Fuß musste ich mit dem auf die Berge kraxeln etwas pausieren. Darum habe ich in den letzten paar Wochen eher die Orte erkundet, an denen es mehr oder weniger eben zu geht.
Das hat mich auch hier an diese Reihe Lindenbäume geführt, welche zwischen den Ortschaften Gohrisch und Pfaffendorf an einem leuchtend gelben Rapsfeld standen. Die Bäume stehen natürlich noch immer dort, nur das Feld leuchtet nicht mehr.
Inzwischen ist mein Fuß übrigens fast wieder voll einsatzfähig. Ich kann also schon mal anfangen, die nächste Wanderung zu planen.

You’ve probably had enough of these Todd Crag shots so, this may be the last. It's always difficult when you feel you have got so many images you want to share from one Autumn morning shoot.
