Big old tree of Japanese Clethra looks gnarled & fantastic.
Botanical name: Clethra Anatolia; English name: Japanese Clethra. This tree grows slowly at this barren land.
リョウブは成長すると樹皮が剝げ落ちて, 木肌がツルツルになります。地上根は逞しい反面, 地下根は浅く短く, 幹は傾きがちです。特に土壌層が薄くて直ぐ溶岩層となる天城では, こんな格好に成ります。リョウブは成長速度が遅いので, この古木の樹齢は全く見当が付きません。
Back to reality!!! My brain is still foggy and resisting the idea of going back to work. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.
Found baby sea turtles last Christmas. I like the message of hope and strength they represent. Last year was certainly challenging but pushing through this year with a mindset of perseverance against adversity 😊
When I go out to take pictures of dragonflies in flight, THIS is the picture I have in my mind - something I rarely achieve. This picture has all the attributes I look for; front 3/4 view from slightly above. All four wings visible but with slight motion blur, good focus on the face, background not completely plain. Today I relearned the importance of perseverance when out shooting wildlife. After a couple of hours in the hot sun, I had virtually nothing to show for my efforts. As I was walking back to the car, I decided to have one last go at capturing a good shot and climbed over the low wall atop the dam and went down to the water's edge. I had spotted this beautiful female flying around, and to my delight, after a few minutes, she flew right at me, and for a brief 2 seconds, I managed to lock focus and got 26 shots, several of them usable. I consider today's shoot a success, even though 1,000 of the 1,400 frames went straight in the 'delete' folder. One good picture makes it all worth while!
See my "About" page on Flickr for the link to support my efforts... just the price of a cup of coffee is appreciated. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

“By perseverance the snail reached the ark.”
We were out in the garden filling up Randie's little watering can
to water the flowers. We must have filled it up 3 times before I noticed
this little guy trying to escape sudden death trapped in the can filled with
water. A moment later another little fella followed :)
Good thing my mother in law was not around.. she would have stomped
on them!! Happy Sunday Everyone!!
The road to a new normal is a race won with perseverance and prayer, not speed . The one who finds the spiritual discipline to realize that he or she cannot do this on their own is the one who will find the strength of the one who is, who was, and who will be. In letting go and trusting our Creator to be our dragonslayer we will overcome what seems unsurmountable. In plain english, when we are weak, our Creator’s strength can be made visible. Turtle on my fellow travelers! 7/25/21

Sunshine in the past week; it felt like Spring and sometimes even like Summer!
Rain and nothing but rain last weekend...it felt like Autumn...
And lots of snow and again since yesterday: Winter, so we have it all within one week! :-)
the admirable ability of the plant to survive severe drought and harsh conditions and yet flower again.
"Perseverance" - As the resilient leaves of the caladium endure the persistent rain, so shall I in capturing its triumph.
The male mountain bluebird pictured here, perched on a poplar branch, was facing into a fairly strong wind during a downfall of freezing rain and snow. This was only the beginning. The area now has a thick blanket of snow and has been below 0 °C for days. Relief from the cold is still a few days away.
When I was checking on the bluebirds this morning, it was -6 °C with a bitter wind. I have seen only two on my last two visits. Earlier, when the weather was better, there were three. Last year there were six in the immediate area.
It is possible the weather has put a damper on some of the migration and more will show up when the weather warms up. I sure hope so!
