The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and
then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the
sky.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

No idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life.
Ernest Renan.
Joseph Ernest Renan (28 February 1823 – 2 October 1892) was a French expert of Semitic languages and civilizations (philology), philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on Early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of the Khazars, Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate.

Pumped up with testosterone, the Red Deer stag has only one thing on its mind. Forgoing food, it fights off contenders, locking with them in a clash of antlers.
In such a stage of mind its a powerful and unpredictable beast. To photograph it I had to get fairly close, but didn't hang about too long. Seeing it attention was drawn to me, I withdraw to a safer place.
When the autumn rut is over, exhausted and battle weary, they reverts back to their calmer ways, to await another season. And so it is, the next generation is secured. Such is the cycle of life and the need to propagate the species. Long may it continue.
Many thanks for your comments. Have a great week.
A rather unproductive week photowise.
Started a new job after being invited to the world of redundancy, found it didn’t quite live up to its part time description...7 to 8hrs per day instead of 4.
Something has triggered another deliciously agonising episode of g**t, so I’m at a bit of a lower ebb than normal...
...in addition our holiday to Spain has been knocked on the head due to a rising spike in Covid...oh the effin joys.
So this pic is an alternative take on an earlier posting for which I do not apologise.
Anyone from the UK and of a certain vintage may well associate the image with Hovis bread and the strains of the New World Symphony.

This is one of the groynes on Blyth Beach and something has obviously gone awry. I spotted it as I was trying to get a shot of the beach huts and thought that it might make for a good mono long exposure. However, when I got there the low sun was bouncing off the face of it so I thought a colour LE would work better.
I do want to go back when the tide is a little higher so I can get the end of the groyne disappearing into the North Sea.
"Take the strain" is an idiom that generally means to bear the burden or responsibility for something, often a difficult or stressful situation. It implies relieving someone else of pressure or worry by taking on the challenge yourself.
What's the difference between a rope and a cable?
The term cable is often used interchangeably with wire rope. However, in general, wire rope refers to diameters larger than 3/8 inch.
Sizes smaller than this are designated as cable or cords. Two or more wires concentrically laid around a centre wire is called a strand.
