This Mitzi by Reliable has a flip hair-do, when I got her it was in a ponytail and I suppose it has been stored that way for years so it's still not perfect.
Reliable shrub giving cascades of white bouquets.
It's also one of the earliest shrubs to show green in spring.
Reliably a class 44 working, and this time proving no exception, Peak no. 44008 makes its way into Toton Yard with tanks from the British Celanese plant at Spondon. Taken around 6.30pm on 4th July 1977.
The bridge in shot carried the hump shunting lines to the west yard and in earlier busier years it would be usual to find shunters slowly pushing trainloads over the bridge for sorting. The bridge still remains, although looking sorry for itself, but the tracks have long since gone.
Here is my little bro Patrick, ole Mr. Reliable. Every time I have called him in a pinch for this project he has been more than willing to step up and help me out. I guess I should mention he pretty much lends a hand with anything else I need him for. He is a great brother. I took off from work the past 2 days to play catch up on things around the house but mostly yard work. To say I am wore out and tired would be an understatement. To go out and shoot this photo took every last bit of energy and stamina I had. I didn't want to do anything complicated but I also didn't want to take a picture of a toy or myself. Thanks Patrick!

Even when the Maples and Oaks and Beeches don't turn colour you know you can rely on good old Sumac it always turns this lovely colour in Fall.
Plus it feeds the birds too-what a guy!

I am reliably informed by the various Bionicle wikis that Toa of Lighting come in a blue and white colour scheme. This build is essentially entirely based on that being the case.
I decided to give her the Mask of Quick-Travel because 1) that kind of fits and 2) it's a damn cool looking mask, and that gave me the gold centre to the model, around which I build with blues that would be distinct from Gali's primary blue. I made a choice to work the white in at the extremities and I think the result works. I'm wondering now if the black connectors on the thighs were a mistake, but until they come in medium azure, I think I'm stuck with them.
The lantern is an aspect of the build I'm particularly pleased with, since it just looks great and poses nicely. I went with that because I've always liked the idea of Toa having tools rather than weapons (the big honking guns got old very fast for me). I've tried to follow that idea for most of my made-up Toa builds.
Reliable is an apt name for a tug. The location is Genoa Bay here on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
On Saturday, 20 May 2017, the Hereios ask the question, “If you had just one shot?”
I did not take pictures before digital cameras, so I’m in the habit of using 4 or 5 (or 20) shots to get the best angle, find the best light, or just for “insurance”. If I’m going to accept this challenge, I need a tried and true subject – preferably one that stays put.
There was some lovely sunshine this morning, and no wind. My front yard Calendula are usually reliable in the garden, as well as in the camera. I gave it a try – just one.
Packards were very suitable for ambulance conversion. They were strong and reliable. And don't forget to mention they had a separate chassis which made it easy for constructing special bodies on it.
This ambulance body was made by Versteegen, Den Bosch, NL. It was in use by Droog, Naaldwijk.
This complete new designed Packard range was styled by Richard 'Dick' Teague (US, 1923-1991). The Packard Clipper Custom was positioned under the Patrician and Caribbean.
For model year 1955 the old pre-war L8 engine was left behind and a modern V8 was introduced.
New for model year 1955 was the wraparound panoramic windscreen on a Packard mass production car.
In 1954 the Packard Motor Car Company, Detroit, Michigan, merged with Studebaker Corporation, South Bend, Indiana, to form Studebaker-Packard Corporation, South Bend.
5360 cc V8 petrol engine.
Performance: 245 bhp.
Production Packard Clipper series: 1941-1942/1946-1947/1953-1957.
Production Clipper/Clipper Custom this series: late 1954-1955.
Production this Clipper version: model year 1955.
Original old type Dutch reg. number: 1957 (issued after Ambulance conversion, not valid anymore).

What is it about the LBD that makes it such a must have in our wardrobe? Is it that most women suit the colour or is it that it is suitable for most occasions.
Stay Safe and Well
Crossed paths with this while out planespotting at Chicago O'Hare...had to get a good shot before it left. Fantastic rig, tons of custom touches. April 12, 2016.

Not the most reliable or easy-to-operate of Blacktron vehicles, the BT7751, nicknamed the "Dark Dragster", was designed as a fast raiding rover armed with dual small-calibre omega particle cannons. The Blacktron Alliance frequently use dangerous and unstable technology in their equipment, but omega cannons produce sufficient background radiation that the designers were forced to place them at a distance from the pilot's position. After a design where they were positioned directly over the front axle proved too difficult to control, the current strutted design was produced. Dark Dragsters are rare in the Blacktron Alliance's hardware lists but are usually given a wide berth by both the Federation and the Alliance's own troops whenever they are rolled out.

FebRovery episode 7, and time for a silly-looking rover with a "serious" writeup.
For the challenge to illustrate three things that I am thankful for that were not around when my parents were young.
One of the things I am thankful for is that cars are much more reliable than 40-50 years ago. British cars often wouldn't start in the cold or the wet, rusted rapidly and broke down frequently. People dreaded being saddled with a 'Friday car', supposedly one thrown together on a Friday afternoon by workers more interested in finishing for the weekend. Performance was poor, which was probably a blessing, given that most cars had weedy drum brakes and were designed without a thought to safety.

Thanks for taking a look at my photo, Kyle

The 1945 "Reliable": This 45-foot Small Tug (ST 908) was built by Burger Boat for the US Army during World War II. It served in ports across England and Texas before being decommissioned in 1956 and later used by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
Prompt: create a digital fine art, ultra-realistic 6K resolution, wide-angle cinematic view of the tugboat “Reliable” cutting through open waters in full daylight. The vessel is centered in frame, low camera angle near water level, emphasizing scale and power. Deep blue water with dynamic white foam and splashing wake trailing behind. Dramatic lighting with crisp highlights on the hull, natural reflections on the water surface. Clear sky with soft, wispy cirrus clouds stretching across the upper frame. No shoreline visible, only endless open water to the horizon. No people visible on deck. No other boats in the scene. American flag waving sharply in the wind at the mast. Highly detailed textures: weathered paint, metal fixtures, ropes, lifebuoy, rivets, and subtle rust accents. Photorealistic water physics, sharp focus, high dynamic range, cinematic contrast, professional marine photography style, ultra-detailed, sharp clarity, dramatic atmosphere, masterpiece quality., horizontal aspect ratio
