Persistence has paid off this time as DB Cargo 66077 ‘Benjamin Gimbert GC' heads through Crowle in the sun with the 6V35 Bescot - Avonmouth Hansons Siding loaded cement.
as soon as i shot this, it became one the favorite images that i have taken. everything just seems to work when i took this- the setting, the old man, the walking stick, the head down....
When being inspired, thoughts slowly start forming in mind. While some of them merge, others are quickly discarded. Though at this point, everything is still open, over time, a few become real convincing options that seem worth being put into practice.
Full of motivation, it is easy to plunge into an adventure quickly. But a rapid, rough landing frequently follows a too fast run-up. In many cases, its impact is too strong, and as a result, frustration rises. Regularly, this leads to the discarding of sparkling ideas.
If counting on persistence rather than pace, it is likely to gain more. There is more time to make mistakes, learn and develop. Yet, being tenacious appears harder than achieving the actual goal itself in many cases because too often, we stand in our own way.
Sitting in a hot photo blind for hours is worth a couple of bucks.

"A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence."-- Jim Watkins. I thought of this quote while standing across from this waterfall, which was a little difficult for me to get to because of how much water was flowing in the Hassayampa River in the Prescott National Forest compared to the last time I was here last year.
I was driving home yesterday and was caught in a heavy rain and through out the sun was struggling to shine through the dark clouds. Loved how determined and persistent the sun was :)
Some persistence paid off, and I went back again today. Light was good but the bird stayed distant, but this one looked sort of alright.
We have had some storms and rain recently resulting in flooding in our parks. The sand bars are fortunately not eroding much.
Persistence Of Information
Influences surround me, from the concrete blocks of my childhood through surrealists, fiction and technology and even nature, I absorb them and combine them in my sleep. The end results nestle within this presentation.
Taken the other weekend on a walk... turned into a bit of a trek, however, good fun and nice to be out in the snow!
In some of the darkest moments of my life, when there were no answers for my questions, for some reason, I just kept straining to see over the horizon for a glimmer of hope. I could have lost faith, I could have given up, I could have fallen into a deep depression, but for some reason, my eyes were fixed in the distance, where I knew hope waited, even though I couldn't see it. I still see that in this photograph. And I know that, just over that hill, hope awaits.

I hope you have enjoyed this interlude in the coronavirus pandemic. We all need a distraction. This one is somewhat less destructive than those that thousands have opted for.
So watch this space, I don’t know what my next fixation will be.......that is the attraction of anticipation. David H.
For my one thousandth post, I offer this artistic rendering of the windswept Jeffrey Pine on Sentinel Dome that Ansel Adams made famous when it was still alive. By 1981, it was on its last legs, its needles gone, its bark beginning to flake off--but it still had character. I was fortunate to see it against a very dramatic sky at sunset.
Compare this tree with normal Jeffrey pines.

There are rooms I'll be the last to enter – what a curious feeling that is. In a house completely hidden from sight, up a staircase so rotten it's barely standing, to a bedroom caving in on itself. Here on a mouldy mattress lie two pillows, settled exactly as they were left the last time someone laid here. Given unspoken weight and grand persistence, the half-life of human memory reaching closure. We all want to be remembered, but I find myself wondering why I've always wanted it more than most. From the earliest moment I pointed a camera at something, and decided to take it home with me, I've been aware of just how rare that is. If you've ever sifted through a stack of prints in a thrift store, you've been in touch with the notion of separation. Everything is gone but the memory itself, no way to connect with its creator. Like the opposite of dementia patient, who has life without memory, those photos have memory without life. If I manage to make mine linger together, I've lived up to my greatest hopes.

Persistence pays off! I stood under some trees for my entire lunch hour today, trying to get a leaf in mid-fall. It took probably a hundred shots to get this one
Actually taken at Radnor Lake, but I have lots of other shots to share this Saturday so I wanted to go ahead and post this one now!

Common mullein or great mullein (Verbascum thapsus), with a velvet leaf, thrives on disturbed soils, or even cracks in asphalt driveways.
A mural, in an alley just off Ave. du Parc, Montreal. I guess the melting watch is a reference to `the persistence of memory` by Dali?
