"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins. Not through strength, but through persistence.”
John Muir
Uniquely beautiful carving of the Tennessee rock created by the persistent flow of water makes the new Winding Stair Park in Lafayette a jewel.
Shot this guy at Black Lane on the CSX St. Louis Line Sub near Caseyville, IL.. Waited for over half an hour for this thing to finally move, and the waiting sure paid off.
I decided I didn't really like the idea I had to "start over fresh" on a new account, so I'll continue using this account for now. It was kind of a spur of the moment idea to start over fresh, anyway.
SUUUUURREEAALISMMMMEEE!!!!

Salvador Dalí i Domènech ( Figueres 1904 – íb. 1989 ) fou un pintor, decorador i escriptor empordanès, un dels principals representants del surrealisme.
Encara que el seu principal mitjà d'expressió va ser la pintura, també va fer incursions als camps del cinema, l'escultura, la joieria i el teatre, treballant com a dissenyador de vestuari i com a escenògraf. També va escriure alguns llibres, entre els que destaca Diari d'un geni (1965).

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí y Domènech, Marquis of Pubol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), was a Catalan surrealist painter.
Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.[1] His best known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931.
Salvador Dalí's artistic repertoire also included film, sculpture, and photography. He collaborated with Walt Disney on the Academy Award-nominated short cartoon Destino, which was released posthumously in 2003.
Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí insisted on his "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors who invaded Spain in the year 711, and attributed to these origins, "my love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes."[2]
Widely considered to be greatly imaginative, Dalí had an affinity for doing unusual things to draw attention to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric manner sometimes drew more public attention than his artwork.[3] The purposefully sought notoriety led to broad public recognition and many purchases of his works by people from all walks of life.
so brittany and nick. their story is totally cute--classic persistence. guy likes girl. guy asks girl out, girl agrees. girl gets nervous when she realizes guy meant as a date. guy and girl have coffee a few times. guy falls completely in love. girl tries to get away, guy won't let her. girl falls in love back. guy proposes. and now they're getting married. so the whole struggle was quite worth it. they're so great together. :)
"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.
The chase of the westbound Limon local continued into the evening. As we were barreling down I70, Seth had remarked how he loved the open points along the line where we could pace (a verb I had taught him only a few minutes prior) the train on the highway. In fact, at this point somewhere a bit east of Agate, he INSISTED I take a picture across him and out the window of the train. I'm not one to shoot grabs like that, but a little Lightroom later, this would end up being my favorite frame of the entire day.

A big tree had come down in the sandstone slot that marks the entrance into Mermaid's Cave. A Banksia had also taken a tumble, but was still alive, and growing over the fallen tree. Life finds a way! [Blue Mountains, NSW]
This fella found me particularly annoying, and flew to three different perches to try to shake me. Persistence pays!
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men 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.
— Calvin Coolidge
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.

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.
After several failed attempts (done by cloud, DVT leading) I finally bagged this shot at Huttons Ambo. 68029 “Courageous” heads 1F62 1034 Scarborough-York.
A small plant emerges from an exterior wall, thriving in the dust and dirt of the street. This image captures the incredible resilience of nature as it reclaims what was once taken from it. Baliuag, Bulacan, Philippines.
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 : )
A Catawba rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense) hangs on, barely. This is part of a disjunct/relict community of typically montane plants, in the Hollow Rock area of New Hope Creek.

I am in the tedious and exciting process of scanning and editing forgotten and found images from the 50s. It's quite moving to discover places that are no more, people that are most likely gone and parties nobody remembers. I have fallen in love with that wonderful shot and decided it deserved to be shared. It also seemed to illustrate a song I enjoy:

When I’m traveling far from home
On the wide horizon
I can feel you’re still around
And the dream overtakes me
Then I know, you’ll stay in this moment
We’ll go where it’s flowing
You’ll be what you want to be
Right here, with me
When I’m out here on my own
And it all cuts through me
I see you’re safe alone
Ah, then it hits me
And I know, you’re here in this moment
Right where it’s flowing
You are what you want to be
Right here, with me
Stay in this moment
Go where it’s flowing
You are what you want to be
Right here, with me . . . with me . . . with me. . .
