Yes, Persistence is the perfect name. You can see it in every stitch. From the curl of his lip to the fooffy tail.

All of a sudden the word came...out of wordlessness.

If you are referring to "fooffy", it started out as a typo but seemed a shame to waste it so I added an "O" and magic happened. I like those moments.

A tiny flowering thistle caught my eye...and camera...today. The grass had been mowed, but this little beauty grew back, and it lifted my spirits.

I especially like this beast...gone already....poof 🤗

Thistle: resilience, strength, and pride. I love the magnificent tail! The journeying beast.

I want a tail, it helps with attitude.

I like this beast. Kind of feels like it has an Eyore energy, especially with the blue shadows around the eyes. I can relate!

Jude~ There is a large tree near The Bridge that fell over in the rushing waters of last December. There it lay, rootball to the sky, but continuing to grow. Fascinating and inspiring. Thistles are so beautiful to me, even when they are brown and dry.

I have a tree like that up by the cabin, reaching for the sky anyway.
