I am no horticulturalist but apparently some plants need protection by being position near a wall or away from the wind. This bush looked like it needed nurturing as someone placed it near a wall and even built a wall around it to protect its roots. Faith is described as a shield. It does indeed protect the user from (and in) the difficulties and trials of life. Try a little faith in God and see the difference for yourself. You might be surprised.
As for the sheep, well I think he had just discovered that the grass tastes a lot better by the wall. Life tastes good with faith. I know, I've tried it both ways.

Venice (Italian: Venezia; Venetian: Venesia, Venexia) is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region.
It is situated across a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers (more exactly between the Brenta and the Sile). Parts of Venice are renowned for the beauty of their settings, their architecture, and artwork. The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In 2018, 260,897 people resided in Comune di Venezia, of whom around 55,000 live in the historical city of Venice (Centro storico). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), with a total population of 2.6 million. PATREVE is only a statistical metropolitan area.
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC. The city was historically the capital of the Republic of Venice. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals."
The 697-1797 Republic of Venice was a major financial and maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. The city-state of Venice is considered to have been the first real international financial center which gradually emerged from the 9th century to its peak in the 14th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.
It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. After the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Republic was annexed by the Austrian Empire, until it became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, following a referendum held as a result of the Third Italian War of Independence. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi. Although the city is facing some major challenges (including financial difficulties, pollution, an excessive number of tourists and problems caused by cruise ships sailing close to the buildings), Venice remains a very popular tourist destination and an iconic Italian city, and has been ranked the most beautiful city in the world.
The diversity is incredible. It all has happened very sudden together with a lovely and wanted heat stroke.
I simply cannot get enough of watching the flowers change, evolve and transform in gardens, roads and meadows.
I thought May month couldn't find a better quote than this. The Earth is providing us with these free and precious moments where each plant, growing tree, bus berry or vegetable has its purpose.
Bees and dragonflies fly from flower to flower, in difficulty to choose which one has the most delicious and appealing features. I feel this way too.

One thing I have had difficulty with is finding the same dramatic, sweeping views of the monorail that I love at WDW (Epcot especially). Thanks to Gregg and Bill, I finally found a very tight location that offers that view I have been looking for.
The difficulty with sharing these photos is that they are part of a series, with a theme - the idea of ‘reading’ a region through its signs, its architecture, its culture and aesthetic. Posting photos sequentially doesn’t really translate the same way - the casual viewer who stumbles across this image, for instance, probably sees simply another travel photo of an interesting church or building - which it is, of course, but in the context of the series it has other meanings too, which too easily are overlooked or lost.
Still, in the spirit of signs and themes, here is a frontal view of the Benedictine Arch-Abbey of Kloster Beuron, in the upper Danube Valley in Baden Wurttemberg. I hope you enjoy it.

Botswana has the largest elephant population on the continent due to tight protection and civil unrest in neighbouring countries. The relative difficulty in accessing the wildlife areas coupled with the military threat to poachers has allowed the elephant population in Botswana to grow.
The Chobe River front was once only a part of the ancient elephant migration routes but with civil war in Angola and the war of liberation in Namibia the elephants fell victim to mass poaching.
Rival armies were killing elephants for target practice and to sell ivory for weapons. The elephants reacted to this threat by not crossing Chobe River, instead the Chobe then became the dry season refuge for the herds and over the years the numbers built up and the reputation of Chobe grew.
There have been incidents of poaching in Botswana, mainly rhino, but the government decided to set up a military task force in the fight against the scourge. Poachers were ruthlessly dealt with and the task force became a full-time anti-poaching unit.
The end of the war in Namibia, and relative peace having returned to Angola, the elephants have slowly but surely started moving across the Chobe River again. There are many elephants that have not had the experience of the migration routes and still see Chobe as a dry season refuge.
The Linyanti area of Botswana was once a hunting concession but in the past 10 years, with only photographic tourism being offered, the elephants are starting to return en masse to the region and Linyanti today is being touted as equal to Chobe when it comes to elephant experience.
Other areas of Botswana such as the Okavango Delta also see high concentrations of elephant due to the permanent water source.

This series, involved some difficulties. I wanted to take some photos of Taj
Mahal, from its less known side, across yammua river, avoiding the huge crowds always present in Taj gardens. Further to that I wanted to make it at Sunset. So, we had to convince the driver to take us through Agra slams into the eastern bank of
the river. The driver kept saying: - "Very, very dangerous". At the end I came to understand he was just joking as there was no special danger
involved. The biggest problem was the driver himself, whom having also
photography as his hobby, kept interfering stating which frames I should
chose. To make a long story short: another unforgettable day in India …
Due to the difficulty I encountered in mounting and demounting the 6ft image of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, whose Camarero is yours truly, I decided to have a smaller image made for the yearly procession.
This image was commissioned from the shop of Marcial and Nena Bernales. The original vestments had to be changed this year, as it is already five years old. It is properly stored for future use.
This image reigns as our Queen and Mother all year round, right in the sala of our small house. She has an urn, and her humongous "bastidores" have to be removed for the smaller ones, or she wouldn't fit inside.
This is a de bastidor type of religious sculpture.
The building of this one had a great number of difficulties to work through. It reached the point where I had to throw in the towel. It wouldn't quite "fit in" with the other planes that feature a clean and polished look....so instead it gets the spotlight all to itself! It hangs proudly from the chain leading to the ceiling fan. (Kind of a "Rudolph the Red-Nosed..." story, except planes, not reindeer). And, it makes for an interesting post. Enjoy!
Gone but not forgotten (having been eaten by a fox), this pheasant's endless (though fruitless) mating displays were a treat.

“Lit by candlelight”
Let me confess two difficulties of mine. Number one: I am often afraid of God-talk as practised by theologians and preachers. Not only because it can sound predictable and tired, almost like a dead language. More seriously, it can put the cart before the horse. It can lead people to think of God as a Big Object out there beyond us. But God is utterly close to us and yet silent, wanting to lead us to the Love that became humanly real for us in Christ. We could be looking in the wrong direction for the wrong god.
And here is my second difficulty: for the vast majority of humanity who have lived on this planet for thousands of years, a fullness of Christian faith was not possible. Even for the baptised and believing, I am convinced that our main contact with God is through a quiet grace that guides us through each ordinary day, rather than through explicit moments of religious awareness. What flowers into the fullness of Christian faith has its roots within us long before we come to hear the Word of revelation. Before the Word reaches its climax in the Gospel, the Spirit was already at work in all humanity, all cultures, all religions.
So too in each of us: the Spirit is always leading us towards an encounter with Christ, even though we are unaware of that guidance. We can notice the fruits even when we do not name the roots. That is why I encourage you to become aware of the direction of the river of your life. In spite of egoism and closure, you can recognise your yearning for goodness, and your living out of goodness in the concrete life of each day. In spite of shadows and refusals, you can become more open to love, passionate about truth, courageous in difficulties, generous in attitudes and actions, even surprisingly serene in the face of death itself.

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling.
It's a specific learning difficulty, which means it causes problems with certain abilities used for learning, such as reading and writing.
Unlike a learning disability, intelligence isn't affected.
It's estimated up to 1 in every 10 people in the UK has some degree of dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a lifelong problem that can present challenges on a daily basis, but support is available to improve reading and writing skills and help those with the problem be successful at school and work.
THE " COLLA VELLA DELS XIQUETS DE VALLS”, MOUNTS AND DISMOUNTS "THE BEAUTY", AN IMPRESSIVE HUMAN TOWER WELL KNOWN AS "4 OF 9 "
THIS IMPRESSIVE HUMAN STRUCTURE IS JUST COMPLETED.
Now time's up to dissassemble it, trying to avoid falling down...
It is said that, in Valls (Catalonia, Spain), it is necessary to raise the head three times:
One, to observe the highest belfry of Catalonia.
Two, to eat "calçots", the great gastronomic and tourist claim from the l 'Alt Camp (Catalonia, Spain), and
Three, especially, to see the “castells” (human towers) of the "Xiquets de Valls" (boys of Valls) which are constructed for more than two centuries (1801).
The practice of the castles (human towers) every time spreads more over the whole area of the catalan speech (Balearics, Catalonia North, Earths of the Ebro, and pre-Pirinees) and recently also beyond the borders (China, Australia, England, the USA, Chile, Sweden, etc …)
Valls's city is considered to be a cradle of the castles and it’s city hall square, also known as "Plaça del Blat", where nowadays the “Xiquets de Valls” operates with 2 groups, the " Colla Joves (Young’s Group) and the Colla Vella (the Old Group) of the “ Xiquets de Valls”, is called the kilometer zero of the world of the human towers.
The so called “castells” (castles) were declared "Cultural Immaterial Heritage of the Humanity " by the UNESCO, 16 Nov 2010.
The " Colla Vella dels Xiquets " of Valls, born 1801, is the oldest of the "colles" making castles within world casteller and during all the 19th century they put the roots to the tradition of the “castells” that can be found out nowadays in the whole country.
The color of their shirt is pink. Among their more important fully completed towers can be found out the so called : 4x10fm, 3x 10fm and 4x9 “clean” (without lining), all of them builded & unbuilded during the same exhibition, in Valls, on October 23, 2016.
The one I’m presenting to you, is the so called 4 x 9, without help on the base, (square base of 4 persons and height of 9 persons) being to my perception the most “BEAUTIFUL” tower ever made, even it may appear not to be the most impressive.
But look it in detail and may change your mind.
It is a pure beauty, “THE BEAUTY”. Please look well at it and try to imagine the inherent difficulty to do this: to load and to unload such an human construction like this without it falls.
Be aware that the little boy or girl on top, is raising up the right hand to make it clear that the contruction is just concluded...

We all are trapped in the webs of so many socio economic difficulties. Only positive attitude and honesty from our personal position can make us free.
Out in deep snow, this snow plough found it too difficult to continue. Luckily a thaw was on its way and thankfully the plough could go home to his family. Being left hand drive was causing a problem for the driver on these English roads.
My grandson enjoyed the driving experience through deep snow thankfully.

This would be the Custom House in downtown Key West.
Despite difficulties and delays in construction, the Custom House opened April 1891.
The new building housed Key West’s Customs Offices, District Court, and Post Office.
As decades passed, the Custom House saw a decrease in use. In the 1930s, the Customs Offices, the District Court, and the Post Office all moved into new facilities.
The Navy moved some of its personnel into the building, converting it into a utilitarian office space.
In 1973 the Custom House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, but the Navy decided to abandon the building.
In 1976, after being declared a Historic Custom House by the Treasury Department, the structure’s ownership title was given to the city of Key West.
After being sold in 1991 to the Florida Land Acquisition Advisory Council, the Key West Art & Historical Society undertook the restoration of the dilapidated building.
With restorations completed in 1999, the Key West Art & Historical Society reopened the Custom House as the crown jewel in Key West.
Having some difficulty of late seeing the world. More succinctly, producing the frames I know are out there. When I go to post something, I feel like I am watching cable television -- many channels to choose from, but the overwhelming sense that there is nothing 'on'.
Challenging part of our passion. I lose interest in my work often, as I am sure we all do...just another one of those times I guess.
Hate the ruts.
Thanks for listening.

had some difficulty yesterday. I heard a commotion in the woods and came upon a pair of Hooded Warblers calling desperately. After looking around, I noticed a large Black Rat Snake which must have been near the nest. Removed the Rat snake, and relocated. I know snakes need to eat, but I wasn't going to let our Hoodeds lose their entire brood. The female was incredibly brave. She was very close to the snake, and never gave up on her nest, repeatedly doing a broken wing display to draw the snake off.
I have immense difficulties coming to terms with these extraordinary insects and admit to barely understanding their biology, taxonomy or physiology.
The fringe of "fingers" (no they are not legs) are secreted by special glands on the body of the female. In this case some of those "fingers" (normally or abnormally) have been initiated in a spiral motif. Males have one pair of wings and look completely different.

I encountered considerable difficulty researching the yellow-painted house on Richmond Street. The street has changed names several times, and this added to my difficulty. The section of Richmond Street between Brock (Spadina Avenue) and Bathurst Street was a originally named Little Richmond, and later was changed to Farley Avenue. In 1870, the houses on Richmond between Portland and Bathurst had no postal numbers. However, the most westerly house on the north side of the street, before Bathurst Street, was the home of James Irwin, a fitter with the Grand Trunk Railway. This was likely the small yellow house that remains on the site today. In 1872 and 1873, the Toronto Directories of those years do not list any houses on the street.
In 1875, the most westerly house on the north side of Richmond, before Bathurst Street, was the the house of Solomon Phillips, a labourer. In 1876, it was the home of Miss Mary Franklin, a teacher.
I find it amazing that this house has survived for over a century, and remains on its original location. I must admit that I fear for its future, as the property has a “For Sale” sign on it.

Revision of a recent image. I had difficulty showing the blue of the OIII with my previous image but managed it better this time around. Created a mask of the OIII and HA this time and could then selectively bring out the OIII colour. Refined the hue I liked in Photoshop. Star reintegration done in Photoshop for the first time. Perhaps overdone the star reduction but I wanted to show off the nebula better this time. Cheers, Philip

This shot gives you an idea of the difficulty to take a wide angle shot at the rock art with Mt. Tom behind in the far distance just like what Gallen Rowell had done many years ago. I believe he could climb up there effortlessly. I have no courage to do to so without thinking of risking an injury. The rock surface was scorching hot during the day anyway. The rock leaning on top of Sky Rock is actually over 12 feet tall. If you fall, you are going to land hard on the lava rocks on the ground. When I took this shot, I was standing atop another boulder. To get to this side of Sky Rock, I actually had to crawl underneath the gap between Sky Rock and that huge rock leaning on top. I emailed a landscape photographer who had taken a similar wide angle shot as Galen's. He told me he needed to scrambled up to the top of that leaning rock, lowered himself down to Sky Rock and squatted at the lower corner. He did that in pitch dark before sunrise. I was dumbfounded.
