Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Siglufjordur in North Iceland, a place that rings solitude and isolation, but also natural beauty and man's perseverance and social solidarity in order to get through those long winters here. This image was captured in May, so you get an idea what it must be like in real winter :)
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

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 😊
A traditional Viking style house alone in the middle of the icy wilderness of the mountaineous area around one of the Westfjords. The epitome of solitude and perseverance I'd say

It's always interesting to look at 'other' genre's of photography., and motorsport is an intriguing one
Slow shutter speed panning is regularly and spectacularly used to emphasis speed an action, but it's not a technique widely used in wildlife photography
Of course there are 'key' differences., racing cars are made of metal., so apart from the wheels going around the rest of the 'object' is in a 'fixed' state., of course an animal or bird is flesh and blood meaning it's 'parts' are in a constant state of 'flux'., esp. a flying bird
However the one part that is in a 'fixed' state is the birds head., and by making that the point of focus it's possible to snap a (very) slow shutter and panned fast moving bird
Some counter intuitive and crazy settings are required., but for me it's opened up a 'Pandora's box' of possibilities
This flying Cormorant is an early attempt., and it's very much the beginning of a long learning curve., but if by using this technique I can portray the movement., speed and action in a 'still frame' of our beloved feathered friends., then it'll be well worth required the perseverance

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!!
If you think you have a hard life... Think 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!
Despite all the fallen leaves and browns, yellows and rusty colors, this maidenhair fern and its little companion cousin are steadfastly hanging on to their spring-time colors. Photographed on a rainy day in the Hass Tract of the Mississippi Valley Conservancy, La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Well, look at me.
I'm coming back again.
I'm still standing better than I ever did.
