This tree root stood near the middle of a spring fed stream. I can only imagine that during a dry period a small sapling emerged and took root. Beating the odds it grew to maturity and now even though just a stump remains it is "Persistence even in death."

No, I haven't flipped it.....they were climbing upwards, or at least one of them, on the back of a bench...
Macro April-Sigma 105
A Note: Some of the interpretations of this mini scene (however true they may be!) are far from what I had in mind. I was just fascinated how one bug can carry the other on its back and still climb the vertical back of the bench without even "breaking a sweat"! You try doing this.....:)
Seashore cliff far up north. Come into being millions of years ago, shaped and smoothened by waves, storms and ice ages ever since.
Trees at a shoreline. Lake nearby Berlin / Germany. Berlin has many lakes. This one we visited for the first time during a short visit to Berlin. I was impressed by the persistence of those trees that still formed leaves and grew despite their unusual way to grow. It is an unspectacular image, but this place created some nice childhood memories. I spend as a child many weekends at and on such a lake where my parents had set up a tent at a permanent campsite for a couple of summer seasons.
If you think you have a hard life... Think again!

The years have certainly left their mark on this millions of years old seashore cliff. However - unlike many other things in our world - storms, winters, and ice ages have only made it smoother.

Have a great week everyone!

There are names that go through the generations with calm persistence. Names that heal a person just for taking them, and names that destroy. Names that travel, names that bring you home, names that you only mutter in the deep waters of your sleep...
-Louise Erdrich from the novel Four Souls
Long past the season to grow and show off its beauty,
the Rose bush keeps offering up a new blossom, one at
a time, in a show of strength, even of stubbornness, like myself! And of Persistence.
That's my kind of Rose!
This tiny 1 day old Hyena cub was very keen to explore its surroundings and tried several times to escape from mom, even though he could not yet use his back legs properly. Mom just kept picking him up and gently returning him to the den.
Stay tuned for more....

Patience met precision at Loch Lomond Marina today. This Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) demonstrated exactly why it's a master of the shoreline, landing a lightning-fast strike to secure a mid-morning meal. The sharp focus in its golden eye says it all. Against the calm blue of the bay, it was a perfect display of nature’s hunter-gatherer at work.
Today was my 4th trip to a local area where Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) usually are seen December through Jaunuary feeding on Toyon berries; The first 3 trips I saw nothing, but today, BINGO!; I get a rush everytime I see a flock of these waxwings blitz into a toyon tree and devour berries;
Some persistence paid off today as I pushed the boundaries of "lunch" to catch Wheeling 96 leaving Toledo several times. Early cloud problems gave way to better skies blowing in from the west and my final shot of them just past Pearson Park in Oregon was the real winner for the day showing off the "matched" 4 unit consist.

Persistence of Life - Achalm View
A dusk landscape taken from the slope of Achalm hill, looking down towards the city of Reutlingen, Germany. The main subject is a solitary, old tree trunk that has been cut but is still pushing new growth, providing a strong metaphorical element. The soft pastel colors of the fading sun provide a beautiful backdrop to the composition.
TENACITY and PERSISTENCE in achieving goals
Always go ahead, set new goals each time and fulfill them. You can fall nine times, but you have to get up ten and get stronger and step higher. The key to success is clear planning and tactics. Ability to think, count and see two steps ahead of their opponents. Use new ideas and scientific advances for your own purposes. Reasonable audacity, the ability to take risks and courage in actions are the qualities of a real Emperor.
Alexander, in his desire to follow the heroic paradigm, naturally placed great value on honor, and with it to the virtues of self-control and self-denial. He always went forward, having a great goal and fulfilling it without fear, inspiring many people, changing history and the map of the earth.

УПОРСТВО И НАСТОЙЧИВОСТЬ в достижении целей
Всегда идите вперед, ставьте каждый раз новые цели и выполняйте их. Вы можете девять раз упасть, но обязаны встать десять и стать сильнее и шагнуть выше. Залог успеха - четкое планировани и тактика. Умение мыслить, считать и видеть на два шага вперед своих противников. Использовать новые идеи и достижения науки для своих целей. Разумная дерзость, умение рисковать и смелость в действиях - качества настоящего Императора.
Александр, в своем желании следовать героической парадигме, естественно, придавал большое значение чести, а вместе с ней и достоинствам самоконтроля и самоотречения. Он всегда шел вперед, имея великую цель и осуществлял ее без страха, вдохновляя многих людей, меняя историю и карту земли.
After every missed attempt, the Amazon Kingfisher flew back to its branch, shook off the water, and reset its focus. It made its catch on the eighth dive I saw, though it may have been hunting long before I arrived. Reserva Natural Marashá, Santa Rosa de Yavarí, Peru.
NS 1635, a high hood SD40-2, works the riverfront in Alton, IL, and a pleasant March afternoon.
I initially saw this train heading north thru Wood River earlier in the day, and kept with it as much as I could until this shot was taken in the evening. He took quite a while working in the yard in Alton, and ended up getting a new crew late in the afternoon to continue work. This is the first time I've been able to snag a train in this area. I almost went home, too, before this guy came to the riverfront.
Sometimes, patience, persistence and a little bit of luck finally come together to create something truly special.
After weeks of watching the weather and countless visits to this woodland, the stars finally aligned. I had two unbeatable trump cards in my hand: time on my side and the perfect weather conditions.
This autumn, the weather hasn't exactly been playing fair. In fact, I'd started to develop that dreaded feeling that this year might go down as one of my lowest ever for photography. But, as any landscape photographer knows, giving up is never really an option!
Scouting a location is only half the battle. I'm equally obsessive when it comes to scouting the weather, keeping a close eye on all three of my weather apps throughout the week. When mist or fog is forecast by all three, and I have a free morning to chase it, that's a combination simply too good to ignore.
This particular woodland has been firmly on my radar since the beginning of summer, when I first stumbled across it. I've returned at least seven times since that initial discovery, each time hoping to catch it in the right conditions. Yet, every visit had been met with the wrong light, the wrong weather or simply the wrong moment. The woodland was keeping its secrets, and I was beginning to wonder whether I'd ever get my chance.
But this time, everything finally fell into place!
What makes this woodland so incredibly special is the wonderful sense of space surrounding the magnificent red beeches. Here in Germany, I feel this kind of openness is a relatively rare sight. The trees have room to grow, breathe and stretch out with an effortless elegance, allowing them to embrace every last drop of light that filters through the woodland.
It's this combination of space, structure, atmosphere and light that makes the location so captivating. And when the autumn conditions finally decided to play along, it presented an opportunity I had been waiting months for.
Seven visits, countless hours of anticipation and one very special morning.
Sometimes, the greatest photographic rewards aren't found by discovering somewhere new, but by returning to somewhere you already love until nature finally decides to put on a show.
And this morning, it was most definitely worth the wait!
Surrounded by fall colours, this heron demonstrated patience and persistence while looking for fish in this small pond.

I wanna feel something
I wanna feel something
I drink to feel something
I sleep and feel nothing
Maybe that's where you come in
Maybe that's where you and I begin
[Verse 2: SYML & Charlotte Lawrence]
I want some good loving
I want some good loving
Want it to mean something
Set this old heart buzzing
Maybe that's where you come in
Maybe that's where you and I begin
[Chorus: SYML, SYML & Charlotte Lawrence]
No, I don't need a heavenly home
A place beyond the clouds with everyone we've ever known
It doesn't matter where we go
If you were born to run
I was made to run with you
I was made for you

I was made for you
You

Maybe home is you and I've arrived

Native Bee (Lasioglossum (Homalictus) dotatum)
A wonderfully warm and sunny Spring day today so I checked out the area where these, new to me, bees are nesting. They are a furrowing bee, nesting in the ground.
I didn't have to wait long for a couple to pop up out of their nest.
This one sat still long enough for a couple of shots.
Persistence pays off. Thirteen years trying to dig this white hibiscus out from a thick clump of giant bird of paradise it's been a single stem forever and barely any roots came out with the stump. It was doubtful whether it would survive the move. Now planted in a large pot in shade it has put on new growth and several blooms lately. Since this was a long time coming there is no rush to stick it in the ground it deserves a place where it can thrive. Persistence pays.
Happy Monday!
