Persistence of Vision (No. 1)
The Persistence Crusader is an essential lance frigate in the Galactic Armada fleet. It sports a single high-grade lance beam (one of the most powerful produced) that cripples ships by targeting vulnerable areas (engines, fuel tanks, etc) on enemy ships. The powerful engines let it quickly get in and out of fights.
This one is inspired by Soren.
Changed the name of my silly little faction from TechSpace to the Galactic Armada. Not that anyone cared.
My uncle took this shot with his camera, on the same trip with me and my cousin. It came out really well. He is a beginner and I thought I sahre his shot!
PERSISTENCE OF THE HORIZON / THE FINAL / CHRISTELLE GEISER & AEON VON ZARK / NAKED EYE PROJECT BIENNE / ALTERED STATE SERIE / THE WEIRD DREAM / PORTRAIT.
Persistence, perserverence and the willingness to grow and thrive where others fear is the something or other key to life.
Also, I'm taking too many sunflower pictures this year but they are growing like... weeds.
Persistence and patience... the search for a dark sky.

My daughter, Nitara, is Senior Class president, and graduating with Honors, and is 3rd chair (violins) in the chamber orchestra.
She and many of her classmates were born during 9/11 and grew up under that climate and now are experiencing an unusual HS graduation celebration due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
But she and many of her friends are taking things in stride. While I'm proud of her academic achievements I more so admire her tenacity and persistence.
Come fall she will broaden her perspective and sharpen her skills at Stanford University.
Persistence pays off. There were a couple of Long Tailed Sylph's visiting the feeders. It took me a little while to find where they were likely to perch between feeds. It took even longer to find a Sylph in a position where I could capture the entirity of the tail. Eastern Andes, Ecuador.
Cat's tongue jelly fungus. These ones are a little beat up because they are two months old! I'm kind of amazed at their persistence, many fungi only last for a few days before rotting.
Small waves roll onto the rockshelf at South Avalon
Beach,supporting a whole ecosystem of plant and animal life along the shore.
Its hard to believe that the whole coastline has been defined' and is constantly being refined, by these waves in less benign conditions.
Persistence and Patience.... The love-hate affair between me and this majestic eagle started around a year back. We used to sight this Eagle everyday in our grasslands, where it used to perch on top of the tallest perch and observe...Just observe.. With those watchful eyes... Once we started sighting this one regularly, we developed a routine which we followed.. Sight the bird in the early morning (around 6 am), stop our car around half a km away so that it doesn't get distracted and wait. Simply wait. Sometimes even till 11 am... With all the hope that it would hunt a snake in front of us, someday at least... It wont be an over exaggeration when I say, i used to go late to work on weekdays only because of waiting for that moment :) But things had its way of working out. We never got an opportunity to see it on the ground making kill in front of us... The hunts used to happen away from us many a times and we were just plain unlucky on most occasions.Patience and Persistence.Finally after a close to 2 year wait, the moment came when we saw the Short Toed Snake Eagle try to hunt a Rat snake ... In front of us... ! A moment i've waited for a long time... A moment which was worth it . All of it...
A scrawny, shade-grown neighborhood impatiens, nearly smothered by late October leaves, still puts out a flower, a bright spot amidst the brown.
I thought it was impossible to get a shot of lightning with my camera. I mean, it's got a max exposure of four seconds -- hopeless, right? But I was stubbornly optimistic, and set up my tripod, and pressed the shutter... again, and again, and again...
...until... on the 39th shot....
This happened. SUCCESS!!
Cropped and sharpened a smidgen, otherwise as shot.
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

John Muir
I saw these flowers poking through the fence on my way to work when it was foggy out. I made a mental note to go back after work and when I did, these lovely clouds were out to make the perfect backdrop. I was laying on my back shooting as cars were driving by : )

Taken at the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, USA. Taken on the buckhorn trail.
You can really just point your camera at random at Theodore Roosevelt and take an interesting picture. There's so much to see everywhere.

Dedicated to my daughter, who persists in everything, including climbing 500 foot sand dunes, where you slide back 2 feet for every 3 feet you ascend.
Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.(Hal Borland

This fella found me particularly annoying, and flew to three different perches to try to shake me. Persistence pays!
A lone leaf still hangs on a branch of a European Beech tree at the Morton Arboretum on January 2nd, 2021. Snow and freezing rain the previous evening made for a tough night in Chicagoland but a beautiful morning afterwards.
Persistence pays off! So happy to have finally seen the elusive black-backed woodpecker. Well worth the wait as he was so busy pecking, he paid no attention to his admirers.
