This male gerenuk shows why this species also is called the "antelope camel," the antelope that thinks it's a camel. Its name, in fact, in Somali, means "camel-necked," and its light upper body provides him with the stamina he needs to feed upright while his strong lower body allows him the run with antelope speed when he needs to. The gerenuk gets its moisture from what it eats and can go its whole life without drinking water. This gerenuk lives in the Samburu National Reserve iin northern Kenya. ©2022 John M.

The impressive Emperor Dragonfly (Anax imperator) is rather appropriately named, for its bulky stature places it firmly in top spot as the largest British Dragonfly. Its naming seems doubly appropriate when witnessing the imperial nature with which this feisty insect goes about its business. It really is big, with the largest individuals topping out at over 8cm, a figure that gives it a legitimate claim for the title of 'UK's largest insect.' The wingspan is even longer, though its lightweight frame denies it top prize in the weight category, bested by some terrestrial insects. Not only are they big, they're fast and have magnificent stamina. This may see them reaching speeds of over 20mph, flying higher and further than the majority of other species and patrolling their territories almost endlessly. The Emperor belongs to a family of medium-large dragonflies, Aeshnidae, loosely known as the 'Hawkers', who all hunt and pursue prey in flight. Both sexes are particularly distinctive, displaying an apple-green thorax and long black line running the length of the abdomen, which is blue in the male, green in the female.
Though the mighty Emperor is large, it would have been dwarfed by some of its ancient ancestors, who prowled the oxygen-rich Carboniferous skies 300 million years ago. By the end of the Permian, around 250 million years back, some of today's familiar taxonomic dragonfly families were already beginning to be formed. This extraordinary lineage marks the dragonflies (Anisoptera) as perhaps the most remarkable winged wonders on the planet. Their evolution has enabled sensational feats of aerial agility, huge flight muscles within the thorax directly connected to their beating wings. As the thorax is quite simply a powerhouse of locomotion, the interior of the exoskeleton is heavily strengthened to withstand the huge forces generated. It's a rather wonderful morphological feature as each wing is carefully controlled by a separate muscle. This results in exquisite flight control, an ability to twist the wings on both upstroke and downstroke providing immediate lift and flawless control. The power generated creates vortexes of 'unsteady airflow' which sound disastrous, but may in fact pave the way for the development of future aircraft. Their mastery of the air has already inspired advances in drone technology and space exploration.
The male Emperor has a supremely territorial nature. He won't just chase away intruders, he'll viciously clash with other Dragonflies in bouts of aerial supremacy. The rasping sounds of their chitinous wings colliding may travel a surprising distance and now is a marvellous time to start observing these titanic battles, typically over larger well-vegetated waterbodies. When not on 'fighter patrol' the Emperor will be chasing down a variety of insects, using its well-positioned legs to catch and hold them up to its mandibles whilst it feasts. It'll rarely alight, though a taste for large butterflies and even other dragonflies means it may have little choice but to stop and eat on occasion. Though an adult Emperor may live for a couple of months or more, it'll spend around ten times longer living underwater as an aggressive predatory larvae. These are as voracious as the adults and will gorge on anything smaller than themselves, including tadpoles and small fish, caught using well-developed eyesight, powerful jaws and an incredible form of underwater 'jet propulsion.' As they spend such a significant time living aquatically, the ongoing conservation of our waterways is key to their continued success. The creation of new wetland habitat, cleaning-up of rivers and warming climate have all contributed to the northward march of the Emperor as it continues to colonise new areas.

You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force. Pubilius Syrus
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.
John Ruskin
Kindness is like snow- It beautifies everything it covers. Kahlil Gibran
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
As I was taking pictures of our tulips recently, I struggled with finding an interesting background. Hence, I've tried other compositions like this one, where I like the softness of the petals which is a result of focusing onto the stamina. I hope you like it and I wish everyone a great Sunday!
Bald Cypress trees can live to be over 600 years old.
The Atchafalaya Basin in South Louisiana contains a multitude of these who've weathered & withstood countless and treacherous hurricanes over the years......
The fact that this gnarly old Bald Cypress still stands bare, all alone, and without protection surely reveals its tenacity, stamina & endurance......
No doubt it’s seen many, many moons pass over…..like the waning crescent in the background. Hopefully it’ll see decades more…..
Thank Y'all for the continued visits and wonderful comments.....
Such a pleasure to hear from so many wonderful & talented folks both near and afar.
I hope your Sunday is as blessed as mine was that day.

This shot really did tax my stamina. I had to slog my way all of about 400m from the front door of the hotel weighed down by a hearty breakfast to grab this shot. Just a case of picking some foreground and positioning the trees then waiting. Initially the Buckle was in solid shade but then the sun rose enough to start blasting through some gaps and travel across the landscape. I took a number of shots but picked this one for the position of the light and the clear peak.

Perhaps it should have been a video? - There was plenty of movement shall we say - Still at it 45 minutes later! What stamina? A 45 minute video would definitely be too long though.
Surfing is fun but beside balance and patience it take determination, stamina, practice and willingness to fight thrue breaking waves just so you get find a good vantage point for you 5 or ten second ride. I took this from the pier in Oceanside, California. on a winter day.

We are on the last legs of our driving holiday down into New South Wales and will be home soon. Both of us have discovered we are definitely getting older and even though this was a shorter holiday than usual with longer stops in fewer towns, we will also be glad to be home. Our stamina just ain't what it used to be. Back in May when we had our short but very wet break on the Sunshine Coast in home state Queensland, we dropped into the hinterland town of Pomona, home of the Majestic Theatre*, the world's longest running silent film theatre or cinema.
Here are a couple of links that will explain all about it.

In the meantime, when we get home I will start with my shots from this recent trip. They are mixed in subject and quality but I hope you like a few of them.
*There are Majestic Theatres and Cinemas still all over Australia. But this one is unique.
