We spotted this red tailed hawk on a tree and it then launched into a full speed attack into a bush in front of us. Here is the hawk taking a brief pause after the failed attack before it took off

Shot #3 in the series. POV here same as shot #1 in the series.
Believe it or not this is the moon. My ineptitude produced this image. Had a great chance for a moonscape, with the moon full over the beach, casting a beautiful glow on the incoming surf, but for the life of me could not remember how to properly expose for moon while on the beach in the dark. Tried spot meter, evaluative meter, wide aperture, narrow aperture, few different shutter speeds. In the end, I stopped fiddling and settled for shots I thought were interesting.
I have a few other shots in this series, this is the third.
Best viewed in Lightbox.
Enjoy my failure!

To get straight to the point, the figure just doesn't come together well and it's too wimpy size-wise. Ironically, this was originally what I thought would be the best Mongul combo anyone could create. By extrapolating magenta to dark red (see reference image), I could give Mongul boots, a feature-accurate torso, and a helmet that matched his legs.
The updated combo you just saw on my main photostream was really just the result of me fiddling with spare pieces and wanting to experiment with adding 1x1 plates to the bottom of minifigure feet.

“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).
First FDT in a while. Sorry for the lack of commenting and FDTs school has been a it busy recently. Also my Tuesdays can sometimes be a bit of a squeeze to get a facedown done and I think the Face Down Tuesday group are a bit fed up of some not venturing more than a few metres from my home each week. Anyway it's the half term holiday next week and me and my family are off to Sheffield for my Grampa's 80th birthday celebration (birthday is tomorrow) so there'll be a very different location for a facedown and I'll catch up with you all then. HFDT all!
Sometimes it;s slow, sometimes we get that panda, but flickr is in rare fail form today, randomly can't fave, can't comment, etc, sorry, I can't waste any more of my time with this crap today.
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
A friend on the mountain asked if I caught Tuesday’s sunrise. I couldn’t remember so I checked my Flickr timeline and noticed I had failed to fulfill my end of the bargain. Here’s the sunrise. I apologize for the delay.

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.
This fence behind the Mundt barn is on it's way down. This must be like the old saw, "All hat and no cattle." This is, "All hay and no cattle." I tried to tell the cows that the hay was that-a-away but they stampeded this-a-way and almost runned me over. When they ran an IQ tests on cattle, they came up with negative numbers. That's what moves the righties up the bell curve. There are more possibilities than the Mundt barn out here. I found many prizes.
As long as eDDie is around, he always finds barns for my agricultural series. I passed this place a lot and it usually had a large dump bin in the view of the barn. This was shot north of Longtown and the barn. The place is about as abandoned as this corral fence. Today, he hauled me up Taylor mountain; I showed him that in the first place.
A great sky showed up for a while and I raced north but could have found better skies a hour earlier. Any sky dictated a day of trolling around Mundt with the camera. There have been too many blank and milk skies lately... and here I am with overcast coming on.

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.
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 :)
Trail Fail is what you get when you don't get somewhere in time. In this case if I'd been five minutes sooner I could've gotten the roster shot I was aiming for with CSXT OLS SD70AC 4568. With time being pressed and two northbounds now breathing down L694's neck, there wasn't anytime to cut off for the shot. So better luck next time. At least it was recently halfass washed a week ago.
