My first and second days were a bust with the sky - but on the third day, I was given a beautiful sky to compliment this fantastic landscape
It was really windy and this Monarch hung on this flower as the wind blew and bent the flowers it to and fro.. I admired them for their tenacity! Somehow they know they have to get this nectar to make the long journey that lies ahead of them.
Haven't see quote as many Monarchs this year as years past but I know many people are aware of their plight and doing everything they can to help save these beautiful butterflies... ; )
Pray for Peace!
After spending hour at dam for nice sunset, the things did not work out, so finally left, as i was driving away, my eyes caught the glimpse of bright blue light in sky, so pulled over and took this shot. I think the wait and persistence paid off!
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles,
discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things
distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
~Thomas Carlyle
While this may seem like a tender moment between this bull and cow bison, he was in the mood and she definitely was not! He kept nudging her with his head while she generally ignored him. He was persistent (and obnoxious!) enough to where she got up and tried to walk away. When she did he followed closely, continuing his advances. She grew tired of him and laid back down. We watched for a good 10 to 15 minutes admiring both of their strong wills - his trying and her denying!

Every year, for the past four yrs, I have tried to grow sunflowers. The workers around the house, the lawn guy and others, would destroy my flowers, only a small half open flower would survive. This year I planted the Mammoth Sunflower. It is over 5' ft tall, reaching up to the sky. In a few days the flower will bloom. Persistence does pay off.

I had just about given up hope of getting a decent shot of this one when it finally paused on this fallen leaf.
dragon characters. Mine being an Astral dragon, his being a Mirage dragon that kept repeatedly breaking into the Astral realm just to get near her and her who kept kicking him out till his persistence finally wore her down.

A persistent fern manages to find a way to survive. It is growing on a Victorian steam engine parked at the train station in Betys-y-Coed, Wales.
With the cold patch we had in fall, many leaves just dried out before coloring. But many of the dried leaves clung to the trees and stayed through winter, especially Japanese maples. At the moment of this capture, the snow was coming down fast - on me, my camera and the trees and I had to increase the speed to 1/1250 to "freeze" the snow flakes.
A combination of persistence and dumb luck led me to stumble into a Weller crew loading coal at Consol at the crack of dawn this morning. We had expected to see something load here on Saturday, but found no empties at the mine or at nearby Weller Yard. I decided to make an extended side trip to the mine on my way back north just in time to see them bringing their first set of cars under the loadout. This is actually the start of the second half of the train, which they began loading three hours later - I had much better light for this half since it was closer to mid-day. Although still called Consol by the railroad, this mine is currently operated by Coronado Coal. It is at the end of track on the NS Buchanan Branch, and at present is the busiest mine on this scenic coal country branch. Those trees on the hillside are looking good for this early in the month!
I knew there was an owl that frequented this hole but every time I went there, he was not visible. Finally, today in the bitter cold and blowing snow, he was hanging out where I could see him.
Eastern Screech Owls are highly nocturnal, and therefore are rarely seen hunting and feeding.The owls swoop down from their perch to capture their prey; they rarely hover while hunting and have been known to cache uneaten prey items in tree cavities. These owls are primarily solitary except during the breeding season.
Mother Nature is so amazing! Plants will find a way to survive almost anywhere, especially weeds :) I observed these plucky survivors basking in the morning sun in Granada, Spain.

After squealing to mum for a good length of time the persistence of this little one payed off when it was able to suckle. Baby elephants suckle from their mother for six months and then are gradually weened off her milk over the next year and a half. Our guide advised that this one was likely the best part of two years old so getting a feed for this one was probably getting harder.

PERSISTENCE...Spinning deer hair is an acquired skill that is learned through persistence. This Morrish Mouse is an example of persistence. 1, 2, 3, and on the 4th try I was satisfied with an acceptable result. Life is like this tie. Persistence can and will make all the difference in the world to the outcome.

My typical attempts to capture a belted kingfisher go like this:
A Kingfisher rattles away in the distance. I follow the sound and see the bird perched above the water. I take two steps and off it flies, only to land a bit farther away. I follow, get semi-close, raise my camera and off it goes again. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat. Until I give up.
Not this time.
Last week we stayed in a condo that overlooked the Arkansas River. I opened the sliding door to go out onto the deck to listen and marvel at the beautiful stream right below me when I heard a familiar rattle. A female kingfisher was sitting on the deck post of the condo next door! I grabbed my camera, snuck back onto the deck and snapped a few quick shots in bad light before she flew off. This was as close as I had ever been to one. She had obviously staked a claim to the condo deck posts and used them to spot fish in the river below. Now, would I see her again?
I left the sliding door cracked so I could listen better and sure enough I heard her again. Over the next few days this went on until I could get her in the kind of light that worked for a decent image. Finally!
