I literally sat for about 15 minutes trying to capture at least a butterfly. I also did some crouching, standing, laying down until I realized an old man was giggling observing my persistence. Ha!
I did take quite a few flower pics. I even spotted a poppy flower. If only I could find a poppy FIELD :)
A lone tree hangs on to the cliff's edge as the late-day sun illuminates the walls of Bryce Canyon's amphitheater.

A revisit to my earlier work. I enhanced some areas and added few more items.
Can you identify them? ~Syd
Always be persistent in your pursuits. Consistency shows value in whatever you're after. #persistent #consistency
Persistence and the good fortune to be able to travel widely in the UK and abroad will ensure that I remain a major contributor to CRWDP and similar sites. Today, I am posting five pictures from the Brighton area.

Atop Cathederal Ledge a pine tree, likely considerably older than its relatively small size would suggest, persists in a place it has no business being.
Andy Moore and Iain Muirhead at Dogmatic
We should agree that the elevated traditions of language manifest few flowers despite the many piles of manure they generate; that intuition, along with sincerity are bound to a graceful branch of the most uncertain line of all sciences, Art. Individually these Artists have pushed at facets of formal and social structures that otherwise might compile cynicism or broaden ironies, but they havent. Andrew Moores prior work has set a broad scope, defying the cloying ambiguities that make our lives cubicle grey in the presence of hopeful discovery. By constantly redirecting, assimilating and crashing pieces into one another like bitter nerves, Moore has structured a body of work that touches intimacy like a vowel pushing a whisper. Muirheads work consistently thrusts the persistence of vocation, stressing hope that theres a place for the Ur consonant to resonate within. This program extends to its audience the beatific presence of the vowel and the consonant. Structure, word, and meaning are Moore and Muirheads gift to the world. We should be looking for these branches, flowers and all of breaches between each and every leaf ever. This isnt outrage; its a love song for you.

Sculpture
By Paul Chimera
Dali Historian
(Mr. Chimera worked directly with Dali Museum founder Reynolds Morse, as the publicity director of the original Dali Museum when it was located in Beachwood, Ohio.
Eureka! Your Salvador Dali Society, Inc. blogger has suddenly come up with an entirely new interpretation of Dali’s iconic and immortal “soft watch!” This is a historical moment, so hold onto your surreal seats, dear readers, as I don’t know – as a Dali historian and writer, who’s studied the artist’s work and life for more than 45 years – if this interpretation has ever quite been stated before:
The dripping, melting watch suggest that time is running out!
Like an ice cube, let’s say, that drips, drips, drips to oblivion, so too does the reality of life mean that, with every ticking second, time is running out. Life is running out. Our time here is finite, short, precious, ever-changing, ever-shortening!
And, of course, interpretation gets supplanted by fact when we consider this: Salvador Dali’s soft watch motif has made for not only his most universally famous painting, “The Persistence of Memory” of 1931, but also arguably the single most famous work of art of the entire 20th century.
So here, a single watch, flopped over a tree branch…dripping…melting…forms the basis for one of Salvador Dali’s most important sculptural pieces. DaVinci had his Mona Lisa. Warhol had his soup cans. Dali – his remarkable watches. Said Dali: Hard or soft, the principal thing is that the watch gives the exact time.”
Astonishing fact: Dali didn’t wear a watch. Not only did he not need to know himself what time it was – he had others to depend on for that – but it may be entirely true that he didn’t quite know how to tell time! Just as he had no real concept of what a particular denomination of money was worth.
Such is the unique life of geniuses.

Each of us has events and circumstances that shape our lives and for the most part we have an idea of what's ahead and react accordingly as the events play out in front of us... there is laughter mixed with tears as we experience the wonders of this life. We all know that someplace down the road the challenges will become greater... and when they arrive we are still shocked that the time has passed so quickly... the kids have grown up and are starting families of their own... and those stairs take a little more concentration and effort to climb. In my life I've had days like the one represented by this sunrise which was taken two years ago down in Mexico. It was dark and the remnants of the previous night's storm still lingered as I looked out over the ocean in the direction I knew the sun would come up... only there were so many clouds that I was sure that nothing worthy of capturing with the camera was going to happen this day, so I just sat down on the sand and enjoyed the sound of the waves gently washing the beach in front of me. Again, my human nature of seeing and focusing on the negative almost convinced me to head back to the room for some more sleep... but as you can see the strength and persistence of the sun was stronger than my flesh and as I sat alone on the sand I was presented again with it's glory. Friends, dark times come into our lives and if we persist just a little more I'm convinced that God will allow His light to shine in our lives again. Let's encourage each other on this day of rest to pause and look at all of the reasons we have to be thankful...
This is for my Mom, whom I sat with on a Thanksgiving day several years ago as she lost her battle with cancer. I am thankful for all that she taught me over the years... I love you Mom...
I saw these dandelions blooming in my yard last Friday, two days before the first snow of the season. Dandelions are tough.

After nearly a year of asking Peckham Post Office to replace the post box which was removed during a refurbishment, a new one is finally installed. Many thanks to Fiona Colley for her help with this. Now I just need one outside Camberwell Post Office :)
