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.

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.
Dartford Warbler - Sylvia Undata
The Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) iDs a typical warbler from the warmer parts of western Europe and northwestern Africa. It is a small warbler with a long thin tail and a thin pointed bill. The adult male has grey-brown upperparts and is dull reddish-brown below except for the centre of the belly which has a dirty white patch. It has light speckles on the throat and a red eye-ring. The sexes are similar but the adult female is usually less grey above and paler below.
Its breeding range lies west of a line from southern England to the heel of Italy (southern Apulia). The Dartford warbler is usually resident all year in its breeding range, but there is some limited migration.
The Dartford warbler was first described by the Welsh naturalist Thomas Pennant from two specimens that were shot in April 1773 on Bexley Heath near Dartford in Kent.
The species is naturally rare. The largest European populations of Sylvia undata are in the Iberian peninsula, others in much of France, in Italy and southern England and south Wales. In Africa it can be found only in small areas in the north, wintering in northern Morocco and northern Algeria.
In southern England the birds breed on heathlands, sometimes near the coast, and nest in either common gorse (Ulex europaeus) or common heather (Calluna
Dartford warblers are named for Dartford Heath in north west Kent, where the population became extinct in the early twentieth century. They almost died out in the United Kingdom in the severe winter of 1962/1963 when the national population dropped to just ten pairs. Sylvia undata is also sensitive to drought affecting breeding success or producing heath fires, as occurred during 1975 and 1976 in England when virtually all juveniles failed to survive their first year.
However, this species can recover well in good quality habitat with favourable temperatures and rainfall, thanks to repeated nesting and a high survival rate for the young. Indeed, they recovered in some areas of the UK, but numbers are once again on the decline in other regions of their natural range.
The range of the Dartford warbler is restricted to western and southern Europe. The total population in 2012 was estimated at 1.1–2.5 million breeding pairs. The largest numbers occur in Spain where there were believed to be 983,000–1,750,000 pairs. For reasons that probably include loss of suitable habitat, the Spanish population appears to be declining. The species is therefore classed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being Near threatened.
A period of climatic warming since 1963 has seen the UK population increase to "more than 2,500 pairs in 2006 (Wotton et al. 2009). Expansion into patches of structurally suitable habitat (up to an altitude of 400m), more northerly areas and away from the core of the range, from Dorset and Hampshire to Derbyshire and Suffolk, is likely to have been facilitated by milder winter weather (Wotton et al. 2009, Bradbury et al. 2011)... The Dartford warbler population in the UK is expected to continue to increase. However, future climate-based projections for the European range indicate that by 2080, more than 60% of the current European range may no longer be suitable (Huntley et al 2007). There is evidence that this is happening already, with severe declines in Spain and France (Green 2017). For this reason, the species is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Global Red List. If the declines in southern Europe continue, the UK will become increasingly important for global conservation of this species".

HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen, HNLMS Schorpioen, Dutch Navy Museum, Dan Helder
If you admire stories of unlikely survival like I do, the history of the Abraham Crijnssen is fascinating, and also an example of the ingenuity which is common throughout Dutch history. This ship, like the other ships of the Dutch East Indies surface fleet that attempted to defend Java in February 1942, should be at the bottom of the Java Sea right now, except for the crafty if unconventional ingenuity of its captain -- who took the game of Dress Up to a whole new level...
The Battle of the Java Sea was a horrific disaster for the Allies, who lost 10 major ships and 2300 sailors. The Imperial Japanese Navy only lost 36 sailors, no ships. In the aftermath and fall of Java, the Abraham Crijnssen was ordered to retreat to Australia, a perilous week-long trip which would leave the ship, which was slow and lacked modern air defenses, an easy target for air strikes. Imperial Navy aircraft had already sunk many Allied ships at the time. Entrusted with the lives of 10 officers, 48 sailors and a female nurse, the captain knew that to simply sail out into the open toward Australia was a death sentence. So he came up with a wild but clever plan: an island is an island is an island...and the Java Sea around Malaysia and Indonesia has well over 18,000 of them. Why not look like one?
He sailed immediately for the nearest island, had his crew cut down as much foliage as possible, and then proceeded to cover the entire surface area of the 184 foot long ship with foliage. What metal the crew couldn't conceal, they painted to look like rocks. Then, they sat...until night. Knowing that the Abraham Crijnssen would leave a visible wake, the captain could only sail her at night. During daylight, the ship was parked close in to "other" larger islands, immobile. This must have been incredibly nerve-wracking, especially as aircraft were heard overhead. Yet in spite of how crazy this sounds, the Abraham Crijnssen pulled safely into Fremantle, Australia eight days later, the only Dutch ship of her class to survive the invasion. Don't believe me? See for yourself:
www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/hnlms-abraham-crijn...
The ship behind the Crijnssen, the HNLMS Schorpioen, an armored ram from the 1860s, is only interesting from its unique survival from the scrapyard, a relic of the age between sail and steam.
While visiting a wonderful friend in Den Helder, he took me to see the Abraham Crijnssen and the interesting Dutch Navy Museum. Thank you for the visit Ralph!
