The Worst of Flickr
View allAll Photos Tagged Worst,
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Crazy Tuesday is Planes, trains and automobiles. And of course who is the best one in the field of « Planes, trains and automobiles »? Mr. Teddy Bear of course !! And it is very convenient to have Mr. Teddy Bear with us, since we celebrate Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays.
I was thinking a lot about this week’s theme: Planes, trains and automobiles. As we all know, I’m the worst driver ever and I hate driving (I will easily walk for hours, in my stilettos, during a snowstorm than driving a car by myself…). !! And this applies for trains, planes and other automobiles in general. But then, I remember that Mr. Teddy had a passion for trains. He has few trains in his collection and this one is truly special ; it is a flying train ! And if I remember right: we never had a flying train on this Photostream !! So all aboard the flying train !!
Unfortunately, I have another video meeting this morning so I will not be able to go with you … But dont you worry, I’m sure Mr. Teddy Bear will take me after work !
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! And see you soon !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
The worst restoration project so far. Crayon all over the cardboard mount, a blemish on the slide and a hole possibly made by a pencil.
I enjoy seeing railways, real or model, so I didn't throw this out but it was a close thing.
I was lucky that the blemish and the hole were in the top right of the image I could clone out, but the colours were so bleached that I had to convert it to monochrome.
The line has long been electrified and it's single track now.
I knew when I got out of bed this morning things were not just going to go right.

We were sitting with our backs against the world
Saying things that we thought but never heard
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is try to take it back
Before it all went wrong....

Leopard in the Khwai community area, Okavango Delta, Botswana
All animals in Africa bite, but the safari bug is the worst.
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

I been on my worst behavior
But baby, I don't need no savior
I'm way outta line
But I kind of like the way I
Feel when I just don't give a fuck
Oh, I forgot to mention
I'll be there in five

Shot at Van Vihar National Park, Bhopal. Territorial battle between Golden Eagle and Wooly Necked Stork.
When I went to the place, I heard loud bird calls from Coromonts on a tree. I realised a huge Golden Eagle was sitting on the tree. I thought it was there to hunt. So I waited some time for it to catch a meal and maybe I will get a shot. Turns out there was a stork that was stalking the eagle as it jumped from branch to branch.
It was Storks area and eagle was trying to take over. I waited for few hours as eagle took its time to make a move. It happens in bursts and neither of the two are in hurry to attack as it can be fatal.
Unfortunately action when started happened at some distance and so none of the shots in sequence turned out to be sharp.
So I thought it would be a candidate for my worst shot of the year Flickr group.

20 short feet away from perfection, but some degenerate runner Johnny Lightfoot spooked him and blew it, the runner then laughed and Memere and I contemplated becoming the next Bonnie and Clyde. Healthy people are the worst.
The Queens train en route to St Austell for tea at the Eden Project with all the members of the G7.
Unfortunately the word got out and a crowd of well wishers gathered on the sea wall in their posh frocks and hats to give her a wave.
The train was delayed at Exeter due to trespassers on the line. A bad day to trespass as the rozzers were on them within seconds.

My previous post showed a prairie dog on high alert, mainly because this crazy photographer was sitting on the ground taking its picture. One of the reasons why they are so skittish. is prairie dogs are one of the favorite meals of golden eagles. A golden eagle will soar high above the ground, and with its keen eyesight, spot a potential meal below. Silently it will swoop down towards its unsuspecting prey. Shown here is the aftermath of the stalk. No, it's not pretty but nature can be very brutal.
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!

The worst part of having patrol duty in an LL-608813 walker? The silly helmet they make you wear. Oh well, regulations are regulations.

For Fun Friday, we decided to build Lego Turkeys. I thought I would go the less traditional route with mine.
This photo was taken on October 23rd, 2005, on the last day of my first trip to New York city. A huge leap of faith, one of the largest I had ever taken. It was indeed a trip that was to forever change my life. And with each subsequent trip there, more opportunities to travel - 2006 to Seattle, 2007 to Detroit, and many more trips to the city that never sleeps. And on each journey I met fellow photographers who would touch my soul and heart in such a profound way, life and self discovery expanded at exponential speed. I was no longer afraid of who I was, what my art had to say, what i wanted to be, where i wanted to go. That period was not without tears, pain, loving and letting go, but within that vulnerability I drew strength and courage. I felt alive. It all felt right.
It's odd, how our perceptions of the world around us, as well as the perceptions we have of ourselves change over time.
This image once symbolized unapologetic vulnerability and delicate fearlessness, but looking at it again, 4 years later, I see melancholy, reservation and fearful naiveté. It is me, has always been me, but what is different? When I look in the mirror, I don't see this same woman. Something in the eyes has shifted, been displaced, lost in the shuffle of daily struggles. Life in New York, Seattle, Detroit has moved on, but i feel as if I am frozen in time, my life, hyphenated, struggling to find balance again, to be inspired, to find my way back to my passion, purpose, simple things that once made me very happy.
My camera has now become a utilitarian machine, serving no other purpose than to document the world around me. I ask myself every day - will i ever find that inspiration again? That passion to create, the courage to be fearless?
Mom goes in for her next scan at the end of the month, and then a subsequent meeting with her oncologist on the 4th of December. There are two ways this could turn out - the cancer can come back, or she can be free of cancer. Two ways our Christmas could turn out - a white happy Christmas, or a grey sad one. We pray for the best, hope for recovery but prepare for the worst.
Perhaps that is what is happening now with my photography - I'm praying for inspiration, hoping for discovery but preparing for creative closure.
Perhaps these wounds I have collected over these past 4 years need time to heal, but it also makes me realize the necessity of finding a way back to a medium that once helped me process the world around me, and that this might be the only way to make sense of the world again. But there is fear. Fear of what i will see in the next self portrait; but is a leap of faith I must take one more time.

Some kind of landscape photography I think. Captured in April 2023 at Troon South Beach, Scotland.
There are 3 vital things that someone with severe CPTSD needs in order to function and heal.
1/ Consistency, predictability and routine.
2/ A place of safety and comfort
3/ Patience and compassion
Without these my trauma response is activated. I can't help that, it is physiological.
These needs have not been fully met for the past 2 years or so. Is it any wonder my symptoms have worsened? Now I am blamed for not healing fast enough. 25 years of abuse and PTSD cannot be fixed with 1 year of therapy and just one year of healing afterwards, least of all when those needs are not fully met. I didn't stand a chance.
Last night a friend from the past messaged me at a critical time. They chatted with me online for some 2 hours or more. They actually made me cry, smile and even laugh. It saved The Samaritans a call and that friend may have saved my life. The timing was impeccable.
The biggest threat to me is not having the 3 vital things. Without those I will spiral into hell. There is no chance I can heal without them. I just don't know where I can get them now. I can't do this alone and I will need actual in-person physical help as well. At my worst I am unable to even cook a meal or even answer the door. At times I could not even leave the house into the garden.
At my best there are little nuggets of the old 'Leanne' there. I just can't find her by myself. I am too ill to do it all alone now.
For the friend that contacted me last night. I am in their debt.
I am trying to post to Flickr and enjoy your photography to maintain routine. It has helped to hold me together for a long time. I am struggling to comment on other people's work or find 'happy' photographs to share. I hope I can get back there though.
In the meantime. Thank you for your understanding and caring. However remote, it does help. It does help.
