"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths."

Happy Fence Friday!

when we were waiting in front of our domicile, this snake suddenly fell out of a flowerpot.. The snake was fighting with a Gecko and both were jerking back and forth very fast - we thought, that this would be the end of the gecko!!!
But after 4 minutes, when the snake started to open its mouth very wide, the snake had lost its attention and the gecko could escape!!! Lucky gecko, poor snake.
This amazing tree grows on the rim of the Grand Canyon. One branch, pointing toward the right, still lives. The other branches are dead.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.
A leaf from a briar appears to be trying to regenerate. I don't know much about plant biology but it's a colourful struggle.
Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.

A Blue Tiger (tirumala limniace) clicked at the Trivandrum Zoo.
I used some light painting and a two exposure composite to get this shot....the air glow seemed especially good that night.
My tribute to Chester........(also from old account)

Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
Looks like not many trees have survived on this side of Blakiston Creek. Winter conditions must be harsh in the Rockies.
White-tailed deer in the winter will seek sumac, yellow birch, white pine, white cedar and the buds of maple trees. Other common woody browse include elm, oak, hackberry, greenbrier, honeysuckle and grape vines. When these food sources are tough to come by, deer will eat leaves, even old dead ones on the forest floor.

When heaven takes you home
And you're at the gates alone
If the grass isn't greener
Come back and check I'm still breathing
When heaven takes you home
And you're untouchable
Tell 'em how you backflip through tragic
Show 'em how the struggle made magic (made magic)
Made magic (made magic)
There's nothing wrong with you
But it has hurt to watch you fade away
I don't wanna see the end of the world without you
There's nothing wrong with you
You're perfect, you're cool
You took the best parts of you
Showed me what love can do
When heaven takes you home
And you're at the gates alone
If the grass isn't greener
Come back and check I'm still breathing
When heaven takes you home
And you're untouchable
Tell 'em how you backflip through tragic
Show 'em how the struggle made magic (made magic)
Made magic (made magic)
Show 'em how the struggle made magic (made magic)
Made magic (made magic)
Made magic (made magic)
Made magic (made magic)
Make me small
So I can fit in your pockets when you go
'Cause when you're gone

What are your associations when you hear the term "class struggle"? It is probably an educated guess that a lot of history will pop up, including that of the socialist and trade union movements and even that of Marxism and Communism. Can I invite you to widen the perspective and, as I would see it, to look at what goes really on in a lot of western societies, particularly that of the UK? What is happening here can indeed be described as class struggle, but it is not that coming from below. It is class struggle from above. It is the people of wealth who are using the political and legal systems of the modern state in order to gratify themselves and exclude the large majority from the benefits of their own work. Profits are invested wherever the most lucrative gains can be made, and this means that capital is being exported, not re-invested at home. Tax avoidance is another characteristic of class struggle from above, I probably don't need to go into details. You must also have noticed that over the last three decades work has become cheap. A generation ago, one earner (usually the husband) was able to sustain the life of a family, today, you would need two earners to do the same. And the jobs they would be having would be insecure too. In the UK, as in France as well, there is opposition to this process of continuously eroding the people's access to life's opportunities. In Britain, people are on strike for a very good reason.

The Ft Dodge to Waterloo local (L570) flying thru New Hardford, Iowa full of snow and with ditch lights out near sunset. They had just opened the main between Ft Dodge and Waterloo, and were the first train on this stretch of track since the overnight snowfall we had
Thanks to Scott Marsh for alerting me to this EB train. He got the same train at Sinclair, Ia a few miles West of me
I am pretty sure that winter is over here. It has been a wee bit cold still here but getting better all the time.
Happy Saturday
