Challenge - Week 29

This week's quote comes from a scripture. Since I am not comfortable using my blog to promote what I do not believe, I will only provide the words that I pursued:

Son, Adversity, Afflictions, Small, Moment, Endure, High, Triumph, Foes

This Week

The sun still won't go away, so I'm not at my best. Since comments I made last week might have influenced this week's challenge, I had to include an old picture.

Challenge 29***Old Picture***
There was a MOMENT last week when I faced some ADVERSITY. After ENDURING the loop at Chambers Creek Properties, I found that the gate at the top of the hill had not been open. I TRIUMPHED when I jumped the fence. Fortunately, it wasn't too HIGH.
Challenge 29 - SonsI have been watching the SONS and daughters of Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) at Chambers Creek Properties for years. Just don't ask me which is which.
Challenge 29I watched this fish wiggle around with some serious ADVERSITY as its FOE, a Crow, AFFLICTED it and declared TRIUMPH.
Challenge 29 - SmallThe aphids are SMALL enough that I had to resort to a macro lens to get this shot.
Challenge 29The Pagoda at Point Defiance Park went through ADVERSITY due to its FOE, an arsonist. The Building ENDURED and rebuilding brought TRIUMPH.
Challenge 29For the first time this year, I saw a young Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) TRIUMPH by taking flight HIGH above Chambers Creek. I had my camera with me to capture the MOMENT.

I'm still behind. Since we had a theme than was even easier than last week, I had to pick a shot. The question was, which one? Do I want the Crow using its foot to help with a fish? Do I use the Duckling scratching itself up close? How about the Heron with a dripping fish? I decided on an action shot. Was it the right choice? That's a matter of opinion.

After feeding the kids, this Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) decided to make some repairs on its nest.
