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.

The Bald Eagle locks in on it's target.

CRC, Vittoria, ON

It's not the SIZE of the dog in the fight, but the size of the FIGHT in the dog

I rise and fall, yet through it all

This much remains

I want one moment in time

When I'm more than I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away

And the answers are all up to me

Genius And Power

~Orison Swett Marden~

There is genius and power in persistence.

It conquers all opposers;

It gives confidence;

It annihilates obstacles.

Everybody believes in the determined man.

People know that when he undertakes a thing,

The battle is half won,

For his rule is to accomplish ...

whatever he sets out to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The little man is determined to get the ball into the vase…

Skippy envisioned his universe with the help of the following amazing creations:

8f8’s Villa Sol, Potted Garden, Stoneway with Grass, Terracotta Jars with Lavender, Oliver(s), and Retired Sol Vase, which are all part of the So’L’Estate Collection!

8f8’s Side Table, Stool, Stool & Stuff, Hanging Lampion, Books, and Hammock, which are all part of the Cotton Delight Collection!

8f8’s Softa, which is part of the Inner Space Collection!

8f8’s Solofa, which is part of the art of stillness collection!

Keep playing!

Keep creating!

Keep shining bright, my friends!

I really do believe that most anything can be sorted out with a little determination... and a lot of coffee.

Hi There!

This chap was determined to get a place on the suet feeder which was filled with several other Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warblers. This was taken at my friend's house. She tells me that she can barely keep the suet feeder filled. I'll be heading back with the camera today or tomorrow to see what excitement is forthcoming!

Thank you all for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a terrific day and week ahead!

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..

Busy as a Bee for sure. It may just start with determination to work hard for yourself and others who may also depend upon you. Having pride in what we do and how we perform our duties can be a reflection on how we see ourselves and how we learned some of life’s more important lessons. Always doing our best in whatever it is we do is like putting our personal signature on our accomplishments. Do your best, stand tall and be proud. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and stay determined.

Determination is powerful

Is it just me or does anyone else also think that big raptors always sport a look of utter determination? :o)
