Rented an RV and set off for the Eastern Sierra. Hope to find some Fall Color in those mountains. Oh Yeah, that's the Mrs. driving that Cruise America up ahead. She's determined to help this old guy do everything on his Bucket List 😘

"Life History of Carpenter St. Croix Valley Nature Center’s Bald Eagle
Carpenter Nature Center’s Bald Eagle, Phoenix, was brought to The Raptor Center (TRC) at the University of Minnesota in December of 2008 from Hubbard County, Minnesota. Found on the side of the road near Kabekona Lake, he was less than a year old, very thin, exposed to lead, and unable to fly.
After being treated at TRC for internal trauma and fractures to his shoulder, it was determined that he could not be released due to a malformed joint that prevented proper extension of his right wing. This joint issue prevents him from flying distances longer than a football field. Not being capable of distance flight would make life in the wild very difficult, so Phoenix served as an animal ambassador that TRC for 8 years before coming to Carpenter Nature Center in May of 2017.
Carpenter Nature Center’s Bald Eagle is a wonderful ambassador for his species, teaching thousands of visitors every year about our natural environment and the diversity of wildlife found in our region. Phoenix will live a very comfortable life with humans, as he is provided with all the food he needs, stellar medical care, and safety from predators.
If you find an injured bird of prey, evaluate the situation to ensure your own safety and that of others. Contact the nearest wildlife rehabilitation center for further instructions. In our area, please contact The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota. Intentionally keeping a wild bird of prey without appropriate permits is against the law."

Red-tailed Hawks bear a determined, if not scowling visage. They are a handsome and successful species, and I wish we had one around our place to help out with the mousing.
I think the partially obscuring branch adds to this image. I hope to show that this is not just a photo of a species, but of a unique being in the world.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Khalil Gibran
Be determined, not stubborn.
Determination is positive, feels light and will take you far. It´s a willingness to change as needed, keeping an open mind.
Stubbornness is a heavy feeling, a refusal to budge. A negative, closed mind and will hold you back.
[I´m working on that, I was the most stubborn person you can imagine...;)]

Thanks a lot to my friend Dheeraj for his patience and co-operation.
LIFE IS A DRAMA TAKE PART IN IT WITH YOUR HEART AND SOUL
Budynek sanatoryjny, wzniesiony w 1898 r. O jego lokalizacji zadecydował korzystny klimat Gór Sowich. Budowla stanowi przykład architektury eklektycznej, posiada 4 kondygnacje, nad którymi wznosi się dominująca w krajobrazie wieża. Jej fasadę zdobią liczne kamienne i drewniane detale architektoniczne. W sanatorium początkowo leczono zaburzenia układu nerwowego. Po wojnie zorganizowano tu dom dziecka, niedługo potem ośrodek wczasowy. Od 1960 r. rozpoczęło działalność sanatorium przeciwgruźlicze.
W budynku nadal funkcjonuje szpital, toteż zabytek można podziwiać z zewnątrz, korzystać można natomiast ze znajdującego się wokół rozległego parku leśnego.
The sanatorium building, erected in 1898, was determined by the favorable climate of the Owl Mountains. The building is an example of eclectic architecture, it has 4 floors with a tower dominating the landscape. Its facade is decorated with numerous stone and wooden architectural details. At the sanatorium, disorders of the nervous system were initially treated. After the war, an orphanage was set up here, and soon a holiday center. In 1960, an anti-tuberculosis sanatorium started operating.
There is still a hospital in the building, so you can admire the monument from the outside, but you can use the extensive forest park located around.

I was determined to get some sunrays, but had to work for them. I must have looked very odd, ducking and weaving through the trees looking for that right spot. The sun was not playing and rays were in short supply but managed to bag a few. This wonderful arch of branches reaped quite a few images that you will see during the week, but they framed the sunlight perfectly for this image.

For some reason, people have been telling me what they think of me recently. I've had scary (x2), determined, disciplined, amiable, enthusiastic and anally retentive. Don't I sound like a barrel of laughs 😂 Here I employed determination to get out of bed at 1:30am 😁
Don't think I've posted this one before, the wider view from my amazing morning on Latrigg.

Stay warm, and keep shining your light, my friends!
My idea was to capture the waves crashing over the rocks with some nice trails in the sea, which is the norm at Crackington Haven, hence the name I have given it. Anyway I was determined to come away with something from the evening.
Thank you for looking, and I really appreciate your feedback.
Sunrise at Mesa Arch, every photographer dream... We all have in mind this amazing picture of the sun rising over the La Sal mountains, hitting the bottom of the arch, creating an amazing scenery.
I was determined to get one of those, but you know what? Nature flipped me off. Lots of clouds and no sun. Kind of a bummer when you've traveled thousand of miles and when you know this is probably the only attempt you'll have in you life to take this shot.
Anyway, the landscape was amazing so I enjoyed my breakfast here and tried to make the most of the weather situation ! This picture might not be as impressive as the "usual" views of Mesa Arch but I liked the glow and the clouds/sunbeams were very interesting.
Even without the sun, it was an amazing moment.
Let me know what you think of this picture ! I will be glad to read your comments ! Feel free to browse though my gallery as well !

The famous Poldark backdrop of the engine houses at the Botallack mines in Cornwall. The weather that day did not make it easy for me to take a photo - just when I had scrambled down to take a photo a large blanket of clouds took away any good light but I was determined to wait this one out. This waiting game took far longer than I had hoped for and the rest of the family grew annoyed of having to wait....the never ending story of managing the hobby together with the family...not easy, that's for sure! I eventually got the light through a tiny break in the cloud cover and I really like how the colours of the heather, the sea and the lichen on the rocks brings this scenery alive...I just hope I won't feel like the weather is against me all the time during our next outing ;-)
I'm still trying to outsmart this tenacious individual who raids our bird feeders. They're quick learners and realising that beyond me shooing it away it doesn't have a lot to fear so waits until I'm a couple of meters away and scampers behind the shed, onto the fence and to the top of the conifer hedge where it waits for me to go back inside and then quickly returns for another feed while I'm not looking.
Unfortunately, here in the UK they are considered a pest because they have displaced the native red squirrel in all but a few places. The grey's are often infected with squirrel pox which they are resilient to, unfortunately the disease is fatal to red squirrels and it is this factor which has decimated our red squirrel population. Shame because they are entertaining to watch.

Hello to all my Flickr friends. As many of you know, just over a year ago my beautiful wife Marilyn had a stroke. Her road to recovery has had its ups and downs. Last February, she came home from the rehab hospital in a wheelchair, but by late spring she was able to walk short distances with the aid of a walker. She was gaining strength and more independence with each passing day. Unfortunately, this past November she had two falls, with the second one putting her back in the hospital. But again, her strong determination has resulted in her fighting through the pain as a result of the falls, and the limitations caused by the stroke. Another Christmas and New Year day in hospital, but she will be home soon. I took this photograph over forty years ago when I was shooting and developing black and white film with my Canon 35 mm SLR camera. I love her look of determination, which has been one of her qualities ever since I’ve known her. This determined spirit has been very strong over the course of this past year.
For all of us, this past year has been difficult, but we must always look forward to the New Year and tackle any challenges, good or bad, that come our way. So, to all of you, a very Happy and healthy New Year.
My participation on Flickr will continue to be limited in the coming new year, but hopefully by the summer I will return on a more regular basis.
The film that I used for this photograph was Kodak Tri-X pushed to 1600 ISO using Diafine developer to process the negatives.
