Inspiration from Le Monde Perdu
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 😊
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/

E' da parecchio tempo (anni) che desidero assistere ad una scena simile e, nel contempo, avere la possibilità' di riprenderla; ed ecco che, all'improvviso, la costanza è stata premiata.
Purtroppo lo scatto si è dimostrato non facilissimo per diversi motivi; 1) il posatoio non parallelo al PDR 2) l'estrema vicinanza dello stesso ( 3,45m) 3) non ultimo il sole ci ha messo lo zampino ed ha pensato bene di nascondersi poco prima dell'arrivo dei soggetti.
La difficolta' piu' grande la limitatissima profondità' di campo.
Ho deciso mi rimanere su una lunghezza focale di 200 mm e di usare un f 11 per avere circa 5cm di PDF sia front che back.
La poca luce ha limitato la MF in considerazione anche del fatto che l'arancione del martino spesso tende ad impastare.
La scena si è ripetuta 2/3 volte permettendomi di assistere ad un evento che mi ha entusiasmato.
Scatto effettuato preso l'Oasi di Cronovilla.

Is a long time (years) that I would like to see a similar scene, but at the same time have the opportunity ' to take it; Lo and behold, suddenly, perseverance was rewarded.
Unfortunately the shot has proven no brainer for several reasons; 1) the roost not parallel to the PDR 2) the proximity of the same (3, 45 m) 3) not least the Sun took a hand and has seen fit to hide just before the arrival of the subjects.
The difficulty very limited depth-of-field bigger.
I decided I stay on a focal length of 200 mm and to use a f 11 to have about 5 cm of PDF both front and back.
The little light has limited MF into consideration of the fact that the orange of martino often tends to knead.
The scene is repeated 2/3 times allowing me to attend an event that wowed me.
Taken taken the oasis of Cronovilla.

“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!!

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! :-)
If you think you have a hard life... Think again!
(photo taken on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada)
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!
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.

Did you think this fool could never win?
Well, look at me.
I'm coming back again.
I'm still standing better than I ever did.
