“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” I Corinthians 13:4-8
A lot of different sources are the cause of this artwork. I was planning on doing something completely different for this week's 52WOD, but yesterday and today took a sudden change of turns resulting in the theme I felt the need to cover: LOVE.
What made me stumble upon those Bible verses I quoted atop was Joe's beautifully written post. When he said "I encourage you to peel it apart," I truly sat down and ingested every single word of those verses that appeared before my eyes. Indeed, what beautiful words they are.
I've also realized how often we're used to hate, and how it's so prevalent in our day-to-day lives, in the media and in our relationships. It's so easy for us to bash on another person, another public figure, another opposing viewpoint, but so immensely difficult for us to say something that would edify another's life. We forget too often the eternal truth: Love never fails. No matter what, it will never fail. Never.
(Everything was hand-drawn this week. I feel like what I wanted to achieve called for something imperfect. Also, the photograph belongs to me).
When he shared his idea for "Mobile Sun Block" they mocked him. The Patent Office said his invention lacked Novelty. Now out of pride or as a matter of protest - depending on how you look at it -- he walks the streets, mostly protected from the harmful UV Rays of the Sun.
A work with coffee and graphite ,, but failed with loosing details and then this quote came to me.
Thanks for the visit have a wonderful weekend
Looks like flickr has decided to give up its niche as the best photo hosting site on the web to become like everyone else in the name of progress. Weak-minded fail IMO.
We remember the photo sessions that yielded gold with inspiration and nostalgia. In my experience though that are just as many or more "failed" trips which we look back on and ask: What the hell was I thinking?
A "failed" photo trip does not imply the trip wasn't otherwise fun, but rather--we failed to execute in the field. Why didn't I think of setting the ISO differently? Tripod--hah--I don't need a tripod. No don't pull over now, the shot will still be there in five minutes. I could of sworn I charged the battery. All these phrases and more you have probably uttered too.
So here's a CHEER to the failed trip, for in the mud and muck there are always a few little happy accidents, like this one.
I got to hike with my drone out into the Bisti Badlands last Sept 19th, but things didn't work out. Conditions were good, but (1) it took a long time to wait for occasional hikers to pass by, and (2) I couldn't control the drone from the app. I was flying blind, so I cut the attempt short. This was about the best I could do.
Later I realized that my protective rim on the phone was preventing a good connection with the controller. Live & learn.
Me: You wanted to take pics with our new flowers, didn't you?
Polka: Yes.
Me: So, why are you just standing there?
Polka: Are you blind? o_O Can't you see it's raining? I don't want to get wet, my hair is curly enough.
I understand what she's talking about. My own hair gets terribly frizzy and bendy when it's humid. But I'm sure she wouldn't have that problem ^^
Polka: What?! I do D:
A nice surprise on Sunday 6th March 2016 is a DB Schenker Red 67 hauling a failed Virgin East Coast Trains 225 set.
With cloud covering the sun at the wrong moment, 67018 hauls a failed 91129 on 1S07, the 0937 Doncaster - Edinburgh Waverley. At this point it is passing Inveresk 50 minutes late at 1314
A nice colourful combination the two liveries make.

After the big CME a couple days ago my Fiancee and I went out Aururora hunting. Unfortunately, although the weather report said it would be completely clear, we were lied to and it was cloudy.
For this photo, envision a blueberry dropping into a spoon of milk, with perfect ripples and milk splashing in a well lit scene. Yes, please envision that because I couldn't achieve any of it before getting bored of trying.
This session was supposed to produce photos of very serious faces. However, as long as any proper photography session is a great fun "failed" shots with big smiles cannot be avoided :)
Four days ago, on 3 March 2016, I set my alarm clocks with the intention of getting out earlier than usual, but it was yet another failed attempt. Eventually, though, I did get out on my drive NW of the city, hoping that I might just be lucky enough to see a Great Gray Owl again. This time, there was no sign of one, despite four pairs of eyes searching at various times. Makes me feel even more grateful that I had better luck on 28 February. Many people drive all the way there and return disappointed. As always, it's all about timing and luck : ) The only other things I saw on this drive were four White-tailed Deer, maybe half a dozen Common Ravens, and an adult Bald Eagle - all seen from a great distance. I don't know if the fact that it was a very windy afternoon was keeping wildlife hidden out of the wind.
On the way home, I decided to drive a bit further west towards the mountains as far as the old McDougall Memorial United Church. I love this little country church, especially the long, photogenic fence line leading up to it from the parking lot. This photo was taken from the back of the church, so the fence is out of sight, but there are plenty of fence photos in my album. The church was built in Carpenter's Gothic style of architecture. A sign had the following words on it:
"The historic church at the end of this pathway was constructed in 1875. At that time, native people were still hunting bison on the prairies. The young nation of Canada was only eight years old; the Canadian Pacific Railway still nine years in the future. And this church would become the heart of a thriving community, Morleyville, and for a time the largest settlement in what would be southern Alberta.
The story of this church is really the story of Rev. George McDougall who moved to western Canada with his family in 1862 to minister to the fur traders and native people. In 1873, the McDougalls established the first mission in the region and built this church. In doing so, they wrote an important chapter of Alberta's settlement history".
After George McDougall's tragic death in a snowstorm, his body was brought back to the church at Morleyville and laid to rest.

Life happened - changes were made. But I'm determined to have one constant in my life.
This is an image from a failed 52 week project from a grid of ideas someone posted in a photo group back in 2014. I learned a lesson from this 52 week project - that pre-fab projects aren't for me.
Is it still a failure if you learn something? Wouldn't it then be a lesson?
