The Perseverance Trail, which starts where today’s Basin Road ends, continues along the original route, which includes a cragged section called The Horn where there’s a steep drop-off down to the creek.
At the end of it is where Perseverance Trail begins, and this former rail line (named for the mine it once serviced) quickly climbs up above the Gold Creek valley. There’s plenty to see along the way, including old mine shafts that blow cool winds, and a stretch of trail where the mountain drops steeply away to Gold Creek.
This is one of my favorites from our annual trip out to Beavers Bend State Park. The water level was much higher than in recent years.

“Perseverance Commands Success” - the timeless motto from Aitchison College, my alma mater in Lahore, Pakistan — in the late 1970s — is even truer today, almost half a century later.

Here the tower has been reworked. The buttresses are thinkened, and additional openwork has been added at the top. Looking at photo resources showed that the peaks over gothic arches tend to get darker over time (probably from soot) and so they have been repainted.
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.

Yesterday morning’s launch of the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter atop an Atlas V from my backyard (~50 miles away) on their way to study Mars!
“Never give up. It's like breathing—once you quit, your flame dies letting total darkness extinguish every last gasp of hope. You can't do that. You must continue taking in even the shallowest of breaths, continue putting forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. Don't ever, ever, ever give up.” ~ Richelle E.

I spent five days in Cape Town last week (2014) and it rained every day on and off (more on than off). I had limited spare time but carried my faithful Canon 6D and tripod in the boot every day. On Thursday afternoon (day 4) after work but before sunset it was a choice between grabbing a quick 45 min shoot in between the rain & then driving home 2 hours in the dark / spitting rain / through mountain passes, or driving straight home in the light. I had waited for 4 days for this opportunity so chose the former. It wasn't the most spectacular sunset but the location evoked a sense of deep gratitude in me. This photo is the third of that shoot and I am really happy that I stayed (y).
"The Kleinmond Lagoon in the Cape Overberg (South Africa) is a stunning beach which also has a small lagoon that is fed by the Palmiet River before heading into the ocean. The small lagoon is ideal for little ones to paddle around in and cool off from the summer sun. Other activities on the lagoon is boating and fishing. Rent out a boat for the day and spend some time out on the water, you might even catch something for dinner" ~ SA Venues
Found during yesterday’s lunchtime walk on Newbury Street in Boston. Wishing you all a great weekend!
The Skeen School, once educating children around the local area, continues to stand tall and proud. Within the confinements of academia, such academics once taught were arithmetic, reading and writing. Now [slowly] withering away at the edge of a wheat field, instead of providing adolescent moments to the youth, the former one-room school house serves its purpose of storing farming equipment.

This bird was one of about 50 trying to get the bread I was feeding them on the beach. It was his/her perseverance that won the day. While hovering above my head for about 8 full minutes, this one managed to get the most from me

I adore snapdragons because they still stay around after the geese have gone
Conditions weren't good, a jumpy sky and tiny Mars at an angle where any heat from a neighbour's roof would also distort the image, but I was determined to 'persevere' and capture this image on the night that the Perseverance rover landed successfully on Mars.

After several trips out at too-early-o-clock, only to find the skies grey and uninteresting, I was sorely tempted to stay in bed this morning. In the end, I decided to drag myself out and was rewarded by the god of photographers with a beautiful sky. Oh yes, and the obligatory wet feet...
Nelson from South Africa used to import shoes till jealous neighbors burned down his shop. He now came for a better life to New Zealand but the struggle continues, at the moment he sleeps in his car after having to leave his house. Welcoming, eager to learn and sincere.

You have to admire the trees and plants that grow in adverse conditions. It's amazing what little they can subsist upon. I spotted this tree in Arches National Park last year, and was suitably impressed by its perseverance.

persevere (v.)
"to persist in what one has undertaken, to pursue steadily a design or course," late 14c., perseveren, from Old French perseverer "continue, persevere, endure" and directly from Latin perseverare "continue steadfastly, persist," from persevereus "very strict, earnest," from per "very" (see per) + severus "serious, grave, strict, austere," which is probably from PIE root *segh- "to have, hold," on the notion of "steadfastness, toughness." Related: Persevered; persevering.
When you live in Northern Lower Michigan you get used to this sort of thing, Old Man Winter coming back in April is like a jealous girlfriend trashing your apartment just for spite. We will, however, like the Dude, abide.
