This Hawk flew around the perimeter of the lagoon for quite a while...harassed by several crows off and on. I don't know Hawk identification, particularly from the underside. My guess after looking at some other photos is that it is a Red-Tail...but that could be completely wrong. It was bigger than a crow.

On a windless, warm and cloudless night you have to drag me away from this beautiful place, otherwise I just keep clicking...

Morro Bay, south end of Estero Bay, seems to receive more foggy days than Cayucos, which apparently benefits from local hills and wind patterns: more sun. More fun.

The very persistent San Juan River. This was one of the coolest places I visited while in southern Utah... Best part.... No people there!

This mountain wave cloud (a.k.a. altocumulus lenticularis), remained stationary from sun-up to sun-down. This image was taken at 10AM. This is how it looked 6 hours later: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/51743097953/in/photost....

Grace and poise

 

These images are part of a series exploring the concept of dedication and striving for perfection. While the audience sees the effortless, gracefully composed movements and impeccable poise - they are generally not privy to the ballerinas unending dedication, drive and persistent practice.

 

I find interest in pursuits whereby success can only be achieved with unending work and graft. Ballet embodies this in spades with the need for incredible strength, balance, timing and intense discipline.

Hopefully a love story trilogy.

Act 2.

The ever hopeful Mr Persistent tries yet again to bring a gift to the woman of his dreams. She has rejected many gifts in the past, but on this occasion she has taken it from him.

高美濕地已經開始實施管制下去濕地,除非有事先申請!!!

Persistent rain caused by Storm Freya failed to dampen the spirits of hundreds of enthusiasts who turned out at Quainton to see the official launch of Modified Hall Class 4-6-0 No. 6989 'Wightwick Hall' after 40 years of restoration. Supporters young and old can be seen vying for the best vantage points as the steam loco approaches the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre station to pick up the first fare-paying passengers.

Persistent rain over many months has much of the arid Far West of NSW bursting with fresh plant growth and extensive displays of colourful wild flowers. This example about 40km southwest of Wilcannia.

Mural entitled "A Persistent Thread" by Jonny Alexander for "Murals in the Market" seen in Detroit, Michigan.

 

The artist explains the work as follows: This image is a personal interpretation of Detroit, where its been and where it's going. A narrative image you can read from left to right lends reference to Detroit's manufacturing past, it's present growth and it's future yet to be known. There is a banner that weaves its way through the whole image from past to future. It's meant to represent the cultural thread that has run through Detroit, with +80% of Detroit's population being black, I see this legacy as being the lifeblood that gives the city it's culture, vitality and creative energy. The banner serves as a reminder to the changing city to recognize and celebrate its cultural legacy.

Persistent mist and the emergence of the mid-morning sun made for some lovely soft light on the silver birch...

The crunching leaves don't let you forget winter's on its way! Definitely best viewed LARGE.

La persistente niebla, me obliga a bajar de los altos; dispongo de tiempo para el regreso y lo hago por una de las espectaculares carreteras que por estos valles transcurren. Es tiempo de tormentas, ha caído mucha agua y quiero visitar uno de esos cauces que con las lluvias cobran vida. Asciendo por la oriya del arroyo e intento salir hacia lo alto de una finca con cabaña cercana a la carretera, para luego descender por ella.

Un pasiego con cuévano, el “Romeralo” creo, baja por el verde prado recién segado. Nos miramos y tras el silencio que antecede a la precaución con que los desconocidos suelen proceder, me dirijo hacia el guardando una prudente distancia.

Esta gente en su medio está libre de eso qué a nosotros los urbanitas, en estos tiempos, “la pandemia”, nos ha afectado de forma virulenta y nos ha tenido encerrados en casa para prevenir contagios.

Intento platicar con el fornido pasiego quien después de observarme con detenimiento, decide hablar conmigo. Le saludo dándole las buenas tardes, el me devuelve el saludo correctamente y le pregunto a dónde va con el cesto.

-No es un cesto, me responde

-es un cuevano y “mudo” a otra cabaña

Se perfectamente que es un cuevano, aunque no sepa diferenciar entre los distintos que aún se utilizan por estos valles, y a que se refiere con “mudar”.

- ¿Entonces es usted pasiego?

-SI, me responde

A los pasiegos se les distingue por sus peculiares costumbres y por los apellidos que les caracterizan, muchos de ellos comunes en estos valles.

- ¿Y usted, como se llama?

-Manuel Azcune

- ¿Azcune solamente?

-Manuel Azcune Ruiz

-Manuel se percata enseguida de mi sorpresa al escuchar su apellido y con lenta parsimonia resuelve mis dudas.

-Mi bisabuelo era Navarro, me dice.

Observo con detenimiento al pasiego, me doy cuenta de la fortaleza y estatura que posee, carga con lo necesario para la “muda” sin que aparente esfuerzo.

-Manuel, le pregunto

- ¿Podría hacerle una foto?

- ¿Para qué? Me responde

Cuando le cuento que tengo curiosidad por su cultura y su forma de vida, me cuenta que a veces lee una revista local llamada “La colodra” que trata sobre la forma de vida y costumbres de los pasiegos, qué si no voy a entretenerme mucho que, bueno, puedo.

Mientras, Manuel me cuenta que su hermano sigue haciendo cuévanos de vez en cuando, como se hicieron siempre. Me doy cuenta al instante que lo intrínsecamente pasiego, en este buen hombre, se ha impuesto a lo Navarro, no hay duda. Recuerdo que un amigo enamorado de lo referente a la tradición de Cantabria y sobremanera de la idiosincrasia pasiega, alguna vez me dijo que si veía un cuévano autentico que se le comprase, o si sabía quién los hacía se lo hiciera saber.

Se lo cuento al pasiego y me dice que con encargo su hermano podría hacerme uno, pagando un dinerillo, que su trabajo lleva. Por supuesto le respondo, dándome cuenta, que, a pesar de tener una edad importante, es capaz de acarrear un peso considerable. Quedo con Manuel en avisar con tiempo para que su hermano me haga un cuévano, su construcción es pura artesanía y requiere de practica y el conocimiento transmitido a lo largo de generaciones. Prometo volver por su cabaña.

Observo el prado perfectamente segado que linda con la vivienda, la fuerte pendiente totalmente limpia. Seguramente tenga la hierba en el “Payo” y haya utilizado la “belorta” para hacerlo. Me hubiera gustado ver a este pasiego “belortear”, es una labor que impresiona por la cantidad de hierba que son capaces de transportar con una simple vara de avellano.

Le pregunto por las vacas que posee y me percato enseguida de su autenticidad pasiega. Me mira con atención y con una mueca de sarcasmo responde

-Algunas tengo.

Manuel desaparece con su cuevano, tras una hilera de cajigas y fresnos, camino de su nueva cabaña. Sopla un ligero viento que despeja de nubes las cumbres. El sol desaparece en el horizonte dorando las altas “branizas” pasiegas. Lentamente la luz va dejando en sombra prados y cabañas, donde vacas y yeguas rumian las ultimas briznas de hierba.

Belorta: vara de avellano o fresno, utilizada por los pasiegos para cargar la hierba aprovechando la inclinación de los terrenos.

Thanks to all my contacts, old and new, for getting me some new inspiration...
