All fine examples! You won’t find more enduring animal than the cat. Tree shots always touch me, and this one especially. The framing in your fourth photo is great, Ese. You have combined some of my favourite subjects in this post, and needless to say I am very pleased 🙂

these are gorgeous photos to illustrate “endurance”… am in love with the shot of the lighthouse and the breaking waves …

It was not that easy to get me away from the place since I couldn’ t stop enjoying as well as “clicking”. The combination of the ocean, storm and the lighthouse was too fascinating 🙂

Thank you, Jo – adrenaline keeps the speed up (hopefully the quality doesn’ t suffer) 🙂 Those are “the Wonderful Rocks” near Asparuhovo in Bulgaria, the place I can never pass by without stopping and walking around – even if only a bit.

Thank you, Alan! It was a teasing crow to blame – this one couldn’ t resist following higher up the tree. Until there came the time to figure out how to get down – a touch of hanging on but quickly back on all fours again. 🙂
