March 22, 081/365- . . . is this little group of Magnolias that keep coming back. That is the base of a huge Live Oak right next to them. I have cut them back several times since they have no chance of ever growing there, but they keep coming back. It's another sign of spring when you look at the top of these and see the new leaves coming out.

A scan across an unnamed gas giant's upper layers--made me think of watching the Shoemaker/Levy impact on Jupiter, and wonder how many times that must happen across the rest of the galactic arm.

Old Sheldon Church ruins, South Carolina.
From www.discoversouthcarolina.com/products/3460.aspx: "One of the first Greek-Revival structures built in the United States, Prince William's Parish Church, erected 1745-55, was once one of the most impressive churches in the Province. During the Revolution, the Patriots are believed to have stored gun powder in it. In 1779, when the British General Augustine Prevost invaded the Lowcountry, the church was burned by a detachment which according to tradition, was commanded by the flamboyant local Tory, Andrew Deveaux. Rebuilt in 1826, the church was again burned by Sherman's men in 1865."
The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952–54) by Salvador Dalí revisits his earlier masterpiece, The Persistence of Memory (1931), placing melting watches in a fragmented, post-war atomic-age landscape. The scene incorporates an elaborate grid of bricks and missile-like rhino horns, symbols of nature’s perfect order. Dalí’s work reflects on the impermanence of time and the era’s nuclear anxieties, blending surrealist dreamscapes with modern concerns.
Dalí: Disruption and Devotion, an exhibit on display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston from July 6 to December 1, 2024, juxtaposes nearly 30 paintings and prints on loan from the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, with European masterpieces from the MFA’s collection.
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.

He never gives up, with this or anything. And sometimes he gets an unexpected helping hand.
I thought this might make an interesting cutout.
"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."
-- Calvin Coolidge
Had a meeting today where the word persistence kept coming up. This little plant has toughed it out through the hottest and dryest summer I've ever experienced. And on the other side of that suffering, it can still put out beautiful, delicate flowers. And we might even get a few chilis from it yet!
Viva has been weaning the kittens; Yoda is the most persistent in wanting to nurse. Often, Viva will walk over to the food dishes, probably to encourage Yoda to eat the kitten food in the bowls, but Yoda keeps trying to nurse under any circumstances. Yoda does love canned cat food, if not the dry chow.
