Caught this young lady trying to depart with the string from our verandah blind this morning. She is obviously collecting nesting materials and didn't realise this was attached at the other end.
We watched her for ages, gathering lengths of the string in her beak and trying to fly off with it, only to crash to the ground again. Can't count the number of times she did this. Talk about tenacity !
Eventually, she flew off, so I quickly nipped out, hid THAT string and replaced it with short lengths of other more appropriate garden string.
Apologies for the poor quality of these piccs, but I took them through our kitchen door window. Difficult to focus.

Valley Forge National Historical Park is nationally significant as the site of the 1777-78 winter encampment of the Continental Army under General George Washington. Few places evoke the spirit of patriotism and independence, represent individual and collective sacrifice, or demonstrate the resolve, tenacity and determination of the people of the United States to be free as well as Valley Forge.
The historic landscapes, structures, objects, and archeological and natural resources at Valley Forge are tangible links to one of the most defining events in our nation's history. Here the Continental Army under Washington's leadership emerged as a cohesive and disciplined fighting force. The Valley Forge experience is fundamental to both American history and American myth, and remains a source of inspiration for Americans and the world.

After leaving its berth at the ABT Terminal at the Leopold Dock, the 2016 built vessel is seen here lining up to enter the Berendrecht lock as it heads out to sea and onwards to the German port of Brünsbuttel.
I am always amazed at these sweet, little weeds that grow out of the concrete. It's probably not *that* amazing, but it still makes me think about perseverance.
About sticking with something, despite obstacles. Forging ahead. Whether it be a marriage, or a dream or something you'd rather not be doing - but have to do. Everything has it's hard times, but sticking with it and looking back later and being really, really glad you did is a great feeling.
