Carmel, CA. On the "17 mile Drive" along the coast of California, one of the main attractions is the "Lone Pine" that grows high on a rocky promontory. Over 250 years old, the tree is actually a Monterey Cypress, a rare, local species. (Postcard series)
One of the lessons nature taught me is resilience. Despite the devastation, nature will bounce back with new growth.
The KNP Complex Fire at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in September 2021 burned 88,307 acres across the parks and forest. It took almost four months to contain the fire.

Fallen, beaten, and reaching with its branch (hand) towards to sky, the resilience in the composition of this lone tree captured my eye while traversing Botany Bay on Edisto Island, SC for the first time last year.
We had heard of and seen many wonderful images of the barren trees on this eerie, yet beautiful beach along the Atlantic; however, since Hurricane Matthew ravaged this place in 2016 not many of these trees remain standing.
It was amazing and humbling to see what this place looked like, while imagining what it must have been like here during that dreadful storm.
Yet, in the wake of disaster there is a renewed sense of hope for the future and excitement to discover something new.
And that's what I want to leave you with through this photograph, a sense of hope through the resilience of Nature, and to become excited to get out there and discover new and wonderful things.
Take care my friends, and thank you for stopping by to look.

my posting for this month's 12:12 Project theme of "resilience" -- i'm so impressed with the plants and animals who manage to survive through the snowy winters here...

“The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.”
― Confucius
I had internal discussions about having the trunk sharp in focus but the leaves blurred in the breeze but came to the conclusion that this tree withstands all manner of challenges to survival so included the wind effect as part of its story. Works for me...
Am keeping where this tree is secret to maintain its mystery.

il cielo notturno appare ruotare attorno alla Stella Polare.
Non é molto appariscente ma è un punto fermo. Una guida. E anche se di giorno non la vediamo, sappiamo che é sempre li.
In se stessa ha la sua forza ed il proprio cammino.

Southern winds are so strong in Road J of Tierra del Fuego, that the trees of the área grow like flags, inclined sideward... they are called "The flag trees". Thanks to Andrew's comment... this photo has the title it deserves :)
Within our Foreshore Park here in Newcastle, there stands a particularly emotive, poignant and I think quite lovely sculpture, set as a reminder of the impact mental illness can have. On our Hunter community and humanity in general.
Sculpted by Newcastle-based Roger McFarlane, this piece portrays an abstract female form in a contemplative pose.
The words 'resilience’ and 'mental health and wellbeing' are inscribed on its base. The base of the statue is also equipped with a QR matrix that allows visitors to scan a code with their smartphones and call up information on mental health services.
McFarlane has commented on his sculpture being "complex to minimal, depending on the viewer’s vantage point - intended to show all aspects of human nature. We can look very calm on the outside, with a lot going on inside of us".

We might have named them "narcissus" but these gorgeous Daffodils are more concerned with blooming than how they look. Their leaves show the effect of weeks of early Spring freeze/thaw/freeze, but their flowers are perfect.
The first daffodils to bloom on the Wilson Bulb Bank at Smith's Botanic Garden. 😊

Rooted in resilience, these flowers bloom and thrive against all odds, through rainstorms and harsh weather and demonstrated remarkable adaptability to their environment.

This hillside field of big bluestem grass was fully consumed down to char in the first week in May during a prescribed burn.
3 weeks later the hillside was bright green, and by the end of July the grasses were 7 feet tall.
Here in October the golden stems blow every which way with the winds. Endless fascination.

One of the most magnificent things about humanity is our resilience. It is so easy to sink and feel like nothing is there to catch us. Sink we may, and sink we must. Our mistake is placing all our hope in others to lift us out of our ourselves. No one else can know the extent of our depths; they may not reach deep enough. We know, though. We always know.

Wild berries braved -30C and now freezing rain, following tomorrow tonight with rain,snow & back to cold. Nature sure takes a beating.
