The survival of this lonely juniper pine on the ledge above Canyonlands National Park is a struggle in this harsh environment.
As always, thanks so much for taking a look.

Hunting season is here and barrel rolls are a way to survive . I was lucky enough to catch this.
I do not know how common it is but it is a sight to see!

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change.

Caught the Wild Thing ready to strike at something behind that tree. This is a feral cat so it's basically both predator and prey trying to survive where the wild things live.

Every single day we as humans find so many reasons to complain about our lives, yet there are still so many beings around the world, humans or not that are living every single day of their lives on the edge of survival having only the fear, the cold and the hunger to keep them company and the pity of others to alleviate their pain.

This pair of Whooping Cranes epitomize survival and they have become a symbol to me over the years that it is possible to exist in spite of difficult circumstances. When I was diagnosed with cancer with no cure I crumbled on the inside while trying to appear strong on the outside. It took a very long while to grasp the meaning of survivor. I’m still here and so are these whooping cranes even after their species was on the brink of extinction. To honor their strength and mine I make the annual trek to spend time with them. They stand together wearing transmitters for their well being to be monitored just as I have regular appointments for the oncology part of my life. Before each appointment there’s a quiet anxiety that you try and push down wondering if the other shoe will drop this time. My latest scan was encouraging after a sideways detour in 2021. I am grateful for being able to see the cranes this year and grateful for the support and care of my medical team as well as faith, family and friends and hope and pray we will meet up again next year.
But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little crazy

Hey y'all. It's been awhile for me on Flickr these days. Just like this tree I've been hit with some health issues. I'm thankful for all of you and look forward to seeing your amazing images.

Northern Pig-tailed Macaque / সিংহ বানর / কুলু বানর
-
The Northern Pig-tailed Macaque is an endangered species, listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. I photographed them in a reserve forest in Bangladesh last December. I was waiting to photograph a few species of birds near a waterbody and found them as they came to drink. This unusual pose of these two macaques drinking water while hanging upside down looks interesting. It seems like they are telling us that their fate of survival is hanging on a narrow line like that fragile branch that they are hanging on. Are we getting the message they are conveying?

Now, normally I am a fan of beautiful natural images of birds in their natural habitat. This image to me represents the grit of survival. A female or juv Snowy on a pier with the Hamilton steelworks in the distant background. This environment is the farthest thing from the artic tundra and yet, here they are, surviving.
The Viceroy butterfly (Limenitis archippus) above is a co-mimic (Müllerian mimicry) of the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). Both are bitter-tasting and poisonous to the creatures that try to eat them. But they co-mimic each other in color and pattern to offer both species further protection from predators.
There are two types of biomimicry: Batesian Mimicry occurs when one relatively helpless species evolves to copy the warning signals of a harmful species.
Mullerian Mimicry is a mutually beneficial co-mimicry where two equally harmful species mimic each other for a stronger, combined result in repelling predators.
Knowing that the Monarch survival rate in the wild (from egg to butterfly) is only 2% - 8%, every bit of advantage serves to boost the chances of the survival of the Monarch.
Beautiful trees survive along Huntress Canyon. Wilbur is in the distance.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)
(Double click)
The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.
Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

spirits are worn thin
in this atmosphere we are in
the canvas of life has been stretched to the end
lovely colors are fading away
but come what may
this is what i will say.
we artists have a choice we have a voice
we have a heart that is not a part of this
our souls are old
our rhythms in sync
with what to do and what to say
let us be a part of the heart of love
where truth and happiness abound and are found
in our art and with one voice make that choice
in darkness of today let us all say
love is everywhere.
take the hardness of the times
make no use of it's signs
death and strife
are not our life
