I was watching this male Downy woodpecker during a snow squall. It was determined to keep hanging onto a lilac branch, waiting to fly up to the suet feeder underneath my porch awning.
Thanks everyone for your views, awards, comments, invites and faves.
This downy woodpecker was waiting to fly up to the suet feeder during a snow squall one winter. It was grasping a lilac branch outside one of my windows. This was taken in Northeastern PA.

Even when it snows hard outside and I put plenty of food out for the squirrels there is always one that has to raid the bird feeders.

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. ~ Christopher Reeve
Watching this bee jump from flower to flower it was determined to find just what exactly suited its taste. When the seasons pass so quickly this is one small thing that I will miss. “Determination” drives this bee to exactly what it wants, as will my determination keep me patient to repeat this very photo-op next Summer. Thanks for viewing my work. Be grateful and kind.

A wildebeest separated from the rest of the migrating herd swims with determination to make it to the other side of the Mara River without encountering a crocodile. If it survives, hundreds of square miles of fresh green grass awaits it. September 2022 in the Masai Mara National Reserve, southwestern Kenya. ©2022 John M. Hudson
This day started beautiful but turned quickly as things can do in the desert. I had the drone up circling the towers and felt a small smack on my forehead. No it wasn't Bea, it was hail. I quickly got the drone in luckily had this shot already taken. We went back with our tails between our legs. Thanks for looking at my ridiculous attempts at professional photos!! Kris..

This cowboy is determined to stay on this bucking bronco for the required 8 seconds to qualify for prize money and a belt buckle. Unfortunately, he did not make it. Taken at the Russian River Rodeo
A follow-up to a previous shot
This Kestrel wasn't going to give up easily
But neither was the owl
Transferring the hapless vole to it's mouth (releasing its claws for offensive/defensive duties) the aerial dogfight continued
That look of determination on the owls face telling you all you needed to know... he wasn't going to give up his well earned lunch without a fight!

Last blooming sunflower here at home. The sweltering temps wilted the petals and they never filled out completely, but it rose to the occasion. This sunnie is a mammoth variety and it is 7 ft. tall.
No leaf is too high for this ladybug.
Edit: Made it to front page of explore. wow.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
Castle an Dinas is a late Bronze Age hill fort in northern Cornwall. Some of its ditches and walls (three concentric rings in all) are still visible. The photos were taken on the day the Storm Dudley hit the British Isles. The force of the wind was strong enough to push me around and focussing was not easy. With a bit of determination, however, a lot can be achieved. Now, and then, in the Bronze Age. Helios 44M-7 at approx. F8.
No matter where I have lived, I have always gravitated to the birds of prey ... the raptors. To me, there's something fascinating about their beaks, their wings, the look of concentration and determination, but mainly their talons. When a raptor flies over me, especially when they bank and show off their underside, or topside, of their body, it's so cool. Red-tailed hawks are the most variable of all of the buteos, depending on where they are found and also their color morphs. Of course, don't forget how their feather patterns change as they molt. It really makes a challenge for species specific ID.
I could raptor all day long and be happy ... we get all sorts of raptors visiting us throughout the winter and some visit during the summer.
This red-tailed hawk flew over me at a relatively close range (though this image is most likely cropped some for balance). The extended wingspan was amazing to view, with every feather serving a purpose. Love these raptors.
Happy Monday!
