Maybe this image I saw on New Years Day 2020 was a foretelling of the year to come. On a blustery cold morning, in an inhospitable environment, isolated from all other forms of life and exposed to the elements of freezing temperatures, snow and howling winds, this lone juniper not only survives, it thrives.
With no eyes to appreciate its view of the West Temple, nor grow fearful over its precarious perch 1000' over the tunnel entry below, this lone tree grows tenaciously reaching toward the heavens, even though that exposes it to the dangers even more.
Isn't that what life is really all about?

Old windows, old doors of Hudson, NY
Formerly Claverack Landing, Hudson was once a hub for the whaling industry — and it very nearly became New York’s capital city.
Of all the many cities and towns in our region, only one was named after Henry Hudson, the Valley’s first European visitor. How the designation came to be is, well, a whale of a tale.
Until 1784, the city of Hudson was known as Claverack Landing. It was a farming community of 10 or so families—around 150 people. But that was about to change.
In the years during and right after the Revolutionary War, the Royal Navy clamped down on American whaling— one of the biggest industries of the 18th century (especially in New England). In 1783, brothers Seth and Thomas Jenkins from Nantucket set sail for a new beginning. They found a home base in this unlikely locale—100 miles from the ocean— on a deep and safe harbor with plenty of land. Claverack Landing presented an opportunity to build a company town from scratch… which they did.
The Jenkins brothers and 28 other whalers, who became known as the Proprietors, formed a company and bought the land from Dutch families (who had previously purchased it from the native Mohicans). They laid out a city grid and put into place everything a whaling enterprise would need: ship builders, rope and sail makers, coopers, and more than a few saloons. Within three years, the city had several wharves, four warehouses, plus “a covered rope-walk, spermaceti-works, one hundred and fifty dwelling-houses, shops, barns, one of the best distilleries in America, and fifteen hundred souls,” according to the New York Journal.
On November 14, 1784, Claverack Landing became the first city to be incorporated in the brand-new United States of America. However, according to an 1862 chronicle, Historical Sketches of Hudson, the Proprietors wanted a new name. They unanimously agreed that “it should be called by the name of Hudson.” There is no record as to why they insisted on the name change, but according to the book, at least one person wasn’t happy: New York’s first governor George Clinton. He wanted Hudson named after himself.
In 1797, Hudson was one vote short of becoming the capital of New York State. Nevertheless, the city has survived and thrived, and today represents a true gem of the Hudson Valley.
and surviving

The benefit of having some mist around is having the context of the woodland but still allowing the main subject to dominate. However, there’s beauty in the tangled mess that sits subdued in the background, and I think this is one of those scenes where it plays a significant part of the image. Unfortunately, only to be seen at it’s best when viewed large and you can see the detail... which is a shame when we know that most folks will view this on a mobile phone.

[..::CuCa::..] Mark 02 - NEW at Thrive
So often I've found good conditions forecast, only to make the wrong choice on where to go. I thought the promised hoar frost was going to elude me as there wasn’t much evidence (Other than fog) on the journey. Fear not though... turned out to be spot on when I arrived at my chosen location. A quick minimal bit of refinement on this one. More to come...
Ezekiel 17:9 “Say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers—so that all its sprouting shoots wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.”’”
Pronounced MOH-noh, this "is a large, shallow saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake. These salts also make the lake water alkaline. This desert lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp that thrive in its waters, and provides critical nesting habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp and blackflies (that also feed on the shrimp)."

A week on now and this young one (of three - all doing well) is thriving and showing the first signs of that unique mask.
The Arecaceae are a botanical family of perennial plants. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are colloquially called palm trees. They are flowering plants, a family in the monocot order Arecales. Currently 181 genera with around 2600 species are known, most of them restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts.
Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping, making them one of the most economically important plants. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as food, palms were symbols for such ideas as victory, peace, and fertility. For inhabitants of cooler climates today, palms symbolize the tropics and vacations. Most palms are native to tropical and subtropical climates. Palms thrive in moist and hot climates but can be found in a variety of different habitats. Their diversity is highest in wet, lowland forests. South America, the Caribbean, and areas of the south Pacific and southern Asia are regions of concentration. Colombia may have the highest number of palm species in one country. 36744
Pompeii, once a thriving Roman city was destroyed in 79 A.D. by Mt. Vesuvius. Today the city is kept sparkling clean for the troops of tourists (and photographers). The decay has been halted and some restoration is being done to show what life was actually like for Romans of the time. It's surprising to see they enjoyed hot running water, heated floors and baths and a form of natural air conditioning.
It's an interesting place to visit.
Here we're standing quayside in Plymouth, Devon - looking across Stonehouse Creek & the River Tamar to yonder shores of Cornwall beyond - the home of Poldark - yes ladies the one with the bare chest & scythe.
This is the English Riviera.
The magnificent building on the left is the Royal William Yard
This used to be a victualling yard (no? - me neither) - a giant grocery store to you & me which kept our Royal Navy stocked with food (& various liquid refreshments of course) - now converted into very grand overpriced flats but with some great thriving restaurants underneath.
HMNB Devonport is still the home of the British Navy & the largest operational naval base in Western Europe.
We are still here & open for business - never mind what stories you may have heard - we still love our European friends & will always be Europeans - but we've just decided to go Global!
Come & visit us now while the pound is still cheap & you get more bang for your buck! :)
