All night, and well into the next day, the wind and rain had pounded the croft house where we were staying. It finally relented in the late afternoon; giving us an hour or two to make use of what light was left in the day.
Water is transformative. It has helped shape the land here; in turns nibbling at the edges or guzzling like a hungry man at a feast. Driving channels down the hillsides surrounding us and pouring into the fields below; an ever-present reminder of the forces of nature at work.
The small burn we’d crossed two days before was now swollen and unrecognizable. Surging and tossing its way through Achateny to the sea beyond. Sodden and dripping, on this afternoon the fields show little sign of the fiery past which gave them their name.
Under the grey sky, the colours of the waterfall come to life. Rich caramels and browns, mixed in with creamy, frothy whites; blackened rocks and, here and there, a flicker of green from plants caught under the flow. A few tentatively stick their heads above, supplicant to the water yet steadfastly staying in place. Tenacity and persistence, apt words for what is needed to live in this place.
These pretty little Diascia flowers are still clinging on!
Thanks for all the lovely comments and faves on my images and I hope you all have a great weekend.
I love the tenacity of this old lodgepole pine tree growing on the granite slope of Lembert Dome in Yosemite National Park

Just one of the small and amazing sights at California's Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, which is just south of the town of Carmel. We ALWAYS stop here when in the area, and it never ceases to amaze me with its beauty and abundance of flora and fauna.
This succulent was growing out of eroding cliff face and was one of the first things I saw when we got out of the car. I realize that I sound like an advertisement for the coast of my adopted state, but give the drive down Hwy 1 a try, if you are ever headed from San Francisco to Los Angeles. You won't be disappointed.

We randomly got off the bus not knowing where we were. In the beginning we found ourselves stifled, struggling around on the motorway looking for a sanctuary of sorts that seemed so far away at the time.
Tenacity and resilience tend to pay off however, and good things come to those who venture. We climbed up the rocks near to Stockholm University and found a delightful vantage point to see the sunset from and relax.
It’s just amazing -- the tenacity of life -- isn’t it?

This Eucalyptus tree amazes me every time I see it. It is effectively growing on its side, on a rock slab at a cliff face (see next photo). It looks like it is leaning on one elbow. I don't know what happened in its past, but it has incredible tenacity! I take inspiration from it. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday everyone! [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia]
Hadn't planned to go out this morning, but needed to pop out for some milk, so I took the camera and stopped at my favourite tree on the way.

I saw this yesterday and it really had an impact on me: "Effective leadership isn't about having power over people, it's about doing good for people" ~ Bill Treasurer
This is a photo from Nov 2013 taken with my Canon 550D & Sigma 10-20 lens. F22 (no ND filter so forced up to get long exposure) , ISO 100, speed, Anstey's Beach - Durban South Africa - can't see on EXIF but shot on AV (camera works out speed).
I originally posted this photo in 2013 but saw it again when cleaning my HD this morning. Nirun liked something about this photo so I did a version 2. Changes: 1. sharpen. 2. contrast. 3. darken.
Happy Birthday to Me! Now what should I wish for?? Hmm? Probably a return to good heath.
Aquarius (So says Cosmopolitan) HA!
The zodiac’s natural inventor and innovator, Aquarius is the mad professor of the gang who can change the world with not only their imaginative ideas but their tenacity and persistence in pursuing them through to execution. Our planets needs plenty of Aquarians right now, that’s for sure!
Aquarians are clever, analytical, technical, truthful, assertive, confident, progressive and innovative. They like to solve problems, improve what’s already working well, and push boundaries. They are activists, campaigners and progressors of the causes they think will make a difference to the world.
REALLY?? Gosh! A girl could get worn out. lol!!
Have a Happy Week!! xxoo

Jasper has learned that play urging tenacity will most often break his humans down. We can't NOT play, right? We had some Flickr friends from Italy visit on Saturday (Hi Adriano, Elisabetta e Ricardo) and Jasper dragged out about every toy he owns to entice them to play. Yes, his tenacity broke them down too. Dog tenacity may very well be the perfect human solvent :-)
She's wearing a vintage Barbie lace mini dress, sandals by Fashionista, bangle bracelets by Dynamite Girls and a FR studded handbag. I really love that the Poppy Parker doll line can wear vintage Barbie.
