A tattered Euphorbia welcomes the spring in my garden. A stalwart survivor of winter.

Another season of spring storms for this old barn...will it survive the winds and rain this time around? I’ll keep you posted!

We can only survive on this planet if we work WITH nature,

not against it ... !

I've been taking some mobile artistry courses and this is the result of work done on the ipad. I'm really amazed at how much these apps can do! Also, the original photo was taken with a wonderful black and white camera app called Lenka--I highly recommend it. Be sure to check out the apps Glitché and Matter. This was an abandoned church for sale in a very small Texas town.

Hope everyone has a good Monday. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

The chapel survived in the middle of the new dam lake that will be created two years after the process of filling the dam lake with water....

Thanks for faves and comments!!😄

you survived before and you'll do it again"

Like a vampire you didn't invite

Suddenly, a change stifles the air

Sucking away all your blood and energy

Whispering in your ear

"You aren't going to survive this one, dear"

Filling you with unabated darkness

Which is really strange because

Just two days ago

You were feeling so much better.

Red Rose covered with snow after an early morning light snow,

I walked over this lovely old bridge to find myself in Gloucestershire, England.

In 1816 Chepstow Bridge was the third largest cast-iron arch road bridge in the world. It is now the largest cast-iron arch road bridge surviving from that period.

River Wye , Chepstow, Wales.

These are among my favourite birds, inquisitive, interesting and so expressive, they are such a joy to photograph and watch in the north! Only the smartest birds can survive in such conditions, and the Canada Jay is certainly among the most intelligent.

Majestic old oak, trying to survive oak wilt disease. Between Oak wilt, and Asian beetle, oak trees have been decimated along the NE. Great efforts by environmental groups and forestry services to re-plant.

Actual shot. Had a walk down the water and saw this spider struggles to hold onto its thread in a high wind…hope he succeeded. Bird feathers were floating in the air in every direction.

How will you survive in this cyber world?

"And it's falling apart

Around us now

The room in a spin

I hear the howl of the wind

And the pounding of the rain

And I'd give everything to dream again

There must be more than

Surviving, surviving

Surviving, surviving

Surviving, surviving

And nothing else"

I already said goodbye.

Two weeks ago my Father passed away from dementia, today was his funeral, I chose to not attend, as we have been estranged for 32 years. Myself and my siblings had a very traumatic childhood because of this man, he was abusive to us all, including my Mum, and we were shown very little love from both parents due to the way he had conditioned her. We spent a large part of our childhood visiting my Mum in a mental hospital, and my older brother pretty much brought us up. I walked away from my Father when my Mum finally divorced him when I was 18. Trying to be a part of his life was too painful, he didn’t seem to care about us. To others he was a wonderful man and would do anything for anyone, but never his own family, a wife and 5 children. I grew up being told I was thick, which did nothing for my self esteem and affected my adult life hugely.

I have been in two minds as to whether to post about this on here for the last two weeks, I am not grieving him, I am grieving for my lost childhood. I have set this to disable the comments, as I am just putting this here so I have a record of it on my blog, and need to move on from this after today, and I don’t want anyone to feel sorry as I am ok, just a very surreal time, and the end of an era, after losing my Mum to cancer in November 2020.

Today we went to Butterfly world as a distraction, and also because it was too cold and wet to shoot outdoors. We had a lovely day.

The crocuses were taken in our garden a few days ago during the cold snap. They survived the storm, and they continue to bloom. ❤️

Much love to you all, dear Flickr friends.

Taken inside Joshua Tree National Park on one of the hikes we did. I rarely use this type of post processing but I really enjoyed the way it came across for this subject matter. What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Abbey "Ten Duinen"

Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Ten Duinen, short Duinenabdij, was an abbey on the Belgian coast in Koksijde. The abbey joined the Order of Cîteaux in 1138 and was abolished in 1796, meanwhile in Bruges. The motto of the abbey was Fac necessitate virtutem; Make a virtue of necessity.

Sometimes, in a barren moorland, you come across a single tree.

Usually, they're stunted little fellas, but they have to be tough to survive in the windblown conditions.

Especially here, by the sea.

So that makes them special.

Right?

Music?

OLYMPUS EM-5Mark II

Zoar is a village in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, that was founded by German religious separatists in 1817, and survived as a communal settlement for more than 80 years. Many of the original buildings still exist, as does a large public garden that occupies a central area of the village. The gardens, part of which are seen here, are said to be preserved and maintained as they were in the 1800s.

An old limb stretched his fingers upwards rustling hints of a faded autumn white it touched the others around him. A creation of wild confusion competing for the light while lush green layers cover the grey nurturing the aging limb. It will survive another spring. - Lynn Reket.

Two businesses that survive to this day on the waterfront in Launceston, are the old Esk Brewery (Boags) and the Tasmanian Flour Mills. They set up here when ships docked alongside and filled their hulls with beer and flour for the mainland.

There is something I found pleasing to my eye in the geometric shapes (form) and the way the light and shade work together in this scene.

By today unfortunately all roses which have been still in bloom are dead now, maybe sume buds will survive
