Common mullein or great mullein (Verbascum thapsus), with a velvet leaf, thrives on disturbed soils, or even cracks in asphalt driveways.
"Persistence Pays Off"
10/8/2019
This was the only sunset where the skies decided to cooperate during my trip to Acadia National Park last week. I took this after sunset and there was no color until several minutes after the sun had officially set. A lot of people had left thinking the sky wasn't going to be pretty, but I know better when I see high clouds like this that it's worth sticking around for a little bit.

I'm going to get that nut if it kills me!! Determined Great Tit on the peanut feeder - Bartley Green Birmingham UK 21st December 2019.
This weed started growing from a small patch of moss on an ornamental boulder. The root then found its way down the boulder into the ground. I haven’t had the heart to pull it - yet.
And, she did. Chuck thought he had moved the blind cord out of reach. That changed when our newly adopted cat, Molly, received an early Christmas present of cat furniture. Santa Maria, CA.

The blossoms on this star magnolia tree have been bitten by frost, yet they continue to declare that spring is here!
This was a dizzying display. It was quite windy and the Striated Pardalote was being blown around at a different rate to the leaf with the lerp. So every time they came close to each other the Pardalote made a lunge for the treat. This went on for a few minutes with dozens of attempts.

A shot taken for the Saturday Self Challenge on it's first anniversary . When I saw the subject for this week I knew straight away what I was going to do . As it happens we were due to go to R.H.S. Wisley Gardens on Sunday for the " Taste Of Autumn " event which we had been to last year . I took a similar shot then and was hoping for a similar display being there again - it was !!
Biggest problem though was getting a shot without little darlings being propped against the pumpkins and having mobile phones pointed at them - just the same as when trying to get shots of the tractors .
Great ! No kids in the way but still people standing around behind the display - this was a challenge getting a clear shot , patience and persistence pays off in the end .
Putting the text onto the shot was not a problem ,just used the MCS ( My Craft Studio ) programme for card crafters - I am surrounded here by crafters ! Val did say make a card , that would have been quite easy to make a real a real tangible one but would not know where to send it !
This beautiful red-bellied woodpecker kept coming to the suet feeder again and again. "You will get fat eating like that!"
Peak District National Park in August. This was one of those moments where the reward came only after patience and quiet persistence. Reaching this viewpoint meant walking slowly as the light changed minute by minute, waiting for the sun to drop just enough to set the valley on fire. The heather in the foreground was alive with colour, the rocks anchoring the scene while the landscape unfolded endlessly below. The struggle was resisting the urge to rush the shot, trusting that the light would align, and it did. That calm golden glow was the payoff, a reminder that nature always works on its own schedule and rewards those willing to slow down and observe.

"Love is probably the strongest emotion that you can feel.
It's very natural -
and I wouldn't want to say easy -
but natural and comfortable to write about,
and there are so many different forms of it,
millions of layers -
you could write forever about it."
~ Shawn Mendes ~
When macular degeneration took away much of her ability to see "the whole picture" Jane gave up oil painting for paper collage . . . just another way to express the many layers of her long, phenomenal life, shared in an infinite array of mediums.
Jane loved Sedona and visited there every September to absorb the landscape and interpret it on canvas or in journals.
I'm blessed to be surrounded by her art in every corner of my home, so her spirit will live on forever.
Visited a location today with many rusty farm equipment pieces. This new growth was a lovely find. Thanks for your appreciation, Gail
Uniquely beautiful carving of the Tennessee rock created by the persistent flow of water makes the new Winding Stair Park in Lafayette a jewel.
From my observations I can say that bees are territorial. The smaller long-horned bees are often "patrolling" the sunflower patch for interlopers and then pouncing on their backs in an attempt to get the bigger bees to leave.

This pied shag thought that a leaf might be a nice gift. Despite all the efforts and persistence to give the offering, the other shag was not interested in the least. Uploaded three images of this series, because these two birds made me smile.

Os ventos que às vezes tiram
algo que amamos, são os
mesmos que trazem algo que
aprendemos a amar...
Por isso não devemos chorar
pelo que nos foi tirado e sim,
aprender a amar o que nos foi
dado.Pois tudo aquilo que é
realmente nosso, nunca se vai
para sempre...
Same shot of the other one posted but with my presence too, i'm not completely satisfied ... not the best composition i think , just a step on the right and it would be sure better

This shot was taken at the beginning of the winter in Lignano (Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Italy): as the title suggests, the symmetry and the persistence of the various elements ware what caught my attention.
That's right...it's that same chunk of curbing and the same bit of red PVC wire. I'd thought by now the wind would have blown away all evidence of that strange twining of asphalt and wire.
But no.
Despite 3 nights of light frost and falling leaves. Plus about 3 months after their blooming season, this one lone Azalea bloom opens and shows it's great color as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
I have no doubt there is a message in this unusual event.
Feel free to share what this image says to you in your comments here. I look forward to seeing them.
Thank you all for your visits, wonderful comments, many invitations and awards. Thank you also for following my work.
I have met some amazing people here in Flickr and thank you all for being who you are and for the lovely art you speak through.
Happy Weekend to all.

I hate to steal a title from Dalí, but I just can't seem to find the right word I'm thinking of for this, and that title is as close as I can get for the moment.

Part 5 of 10 of a photo story shot April 2013.
Inspired by of the ideas put forth in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Philosophy of Composition" and based on a couple of photos from back in my 365.
"the death, then, of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world---and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover."

As goofy as Mr. Personality is, he never gives up. Points for persistence & ambition. Unfortunately, I got distracted by a raptor flyover & didn't see what happened. The log was empty when I next looked.
