Persistence

No post processing aside from the frame.

Once we arrived in St. Joseph, we drove by the Silver Beach and then into the downtown area. We parked and walked along State Street, taking a little break to stop in Kilwin’s fudge shop (217 State St.) for some chocolate peanut butter fudge and some water. There weren’t any open tables inside, so we sat on a park bench, right across from the Chocolate Café, to eat our fudge and drink our water. The shops in St. Joseph were fun and interesting but most of them felt very contemporary and new. We walked down an alley on our way back to our car, and I snapped this picture of the window of The Toy Company (208 State St.).

Persistence paid off, after three hours of trying I made fire using a bow and sticks. This is a photo right after. Many thanks to the Canyon Ranch guide who encouraged me, and helped me keep trying long after the class was scheduled to end.

Saw many bikers still cruising around despite the weather, probably out of necessity.

"Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.''

-Winston Churchill

I know that the "plant growing in concrete" has been done several times over, but this guy has a lot of persistence behind him!

This has been my personal saying for as long as I can remember. I guess it best represents getting through the winter season. Kitchener, Ontario.

I seriously doubt this bud will win out against the inevitable, but you've got to give it props for trying.

Have a good weekend everyone ~

“Persist as resolutely as you persist in eating” New Zealander Proverb.

As I have the feeling that I failed in my first photo (day 22) I tried again this morning with natural light.

I like it more but not 100% convinced...

these colorful fall mums are certainly persistent as we move into winter with its cold nights ... and so are the little ants that are busy doing the Queen's work....but we all love that winter sun...
