Aesthetics of Failure

Andie, Adianna, Pengu, Kaleb, Ketlin and I decided to head to the waterpark for a day...
Little did we know to secure our items.. We definitely did not impress the crowd...
Andie lost her bottom, I lost my flipflops, Pengu lost his trunks, Adi lost her weave and Ketlin lost her top. Unscathed was Kaleb, who sort of gracefully landed well.

Embracing failures, limitations, frustrations, waiting. Accept and have hope, but don't lower your arms. With the little we have, try to do our best, because in the end, the strength is within us.

Flores de La Serena - 021922 - Enhanced-6
a funny photo of one of the coot chick : it's like he was ready to fly. He tried but this was a failure and a fall in water.
Zoom in please for more details (high resolution close up)
Edit : they are now all dead, they didnt survive 2 weeks
une photo amusante d'un des poussins foulques : on croirait qu'il est prêt à s'envoler (enfin presque). Il a essayé mais ce fut un échec et une petite chute dans l'eau.
Merci de zoomer pour voir les détails (photo en haute résolution)
Edit : ils sont maintenant tous morts, ils n'ont pas survécu deux semaines

Sometimes you have to go back to the start to remember where you came from.
Flit crawls from the burning wreckage making her way to the nearest wasteland outpost. The markers have changed and she quickly becomes lost in the blowing sandstorms.
Looking down at her rusting arm she quickly remembers why she left in the first place, she could never belong here anymore - the tales forgot - buried deep in the junkyard tunnels.
If she remembers correctly, there was an old jump point along the coast past the North Yard, maybe she can find her way back there and rift to the next destination in her log...

Went out this morning looking for wildlife… birds, rabbits, squirrels, anything. Struck out, so here’s a rose instead.
(70-350 @ 233 mm, 1/1000 @ f/7.1, ISO 1600
Today I noticed almost a mass emergence of Common Darters, I saw 15 or so Teneral Common Darters flying up from the waters edge of the Grantham Canal. I decided to see if any were emerging from the fountain this year. Sure enough I found many exuviae around the wall of the fountain and then I found this poor individual.
I found this one this afternoon, after watching for a while I soon realised that it was a failed emergence. For whatever reason this is as far as this one got, The head had just broken through and then I guess something went wrong. So anyway I took a 22 image focus stack using my 1000D, ISO 200, aperture F/6.3 and a 1/160 shutter speed. Thought it made an interesting image.
REALLY NEED TO VIEW LARGE OR ZOOOOOMMMM

The Dust Bowl was the result of a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. The phenomenon was caused by a combination of natural factors (severe drought) and man-made factors: a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion, most notably the destruction of the natural topsoil by settlers in the region. The drought came in three waves: 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as long as eight years.
The Dust Bowl has been the subject of many cultural works, including John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath, the folk music of Woody Guthrie, and Dorothea Lange's photographs depicting the conditions of migrants, particularly Migrant Mother, taken in 1936.
Fear
I Feared …
I feared being alone
Until I learned to like Myself.
I feared failure
Until I realized that I only Fail when I don't try.
I feared success
Until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.
I feared people's opinions
Until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway.
I feared rejection
Until I learned to have faith in myself.
I feared pain
Until I learned that it's necessary for growth
I feared the truth
Until I saw the ugliness in lies.
I feared life
Until I experienced its beauty .
I feared death
Until I realized that it's not an end, but a beginning.
I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that I had the power to change my life.
I feared hate
Until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.
I feared love
Until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days.
Until I learned how to laugh at myself.
I feared growing old
Until I realized that I gained wisdom every day.
I feared the future
Until I realized that Life just kept getting better.
I feared the past
Until I realized that It could no longer hurt me.
I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight.
I feared the light
Until I learned that the Truth would give me Strength.
I feared change,
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a Metamorphosis before it could fly.

Junagah (Inde) - On ne va pas se raconter d’histoires, ce n’est pas du tout la photo que je voulais. En 2008, je venais de faire l’acquisition de mon premier appareil numérique et j’étais loin de le maîtriser.
Pour cette photo d’un tailleur qui attend le client, je voulais faire un portrait classique, mais assez large pour intégrer la machine à coudre. Elément qui à lui seul informe sur le métier de l’artisan. Une photo à priori facile à faire.
L’homme avait une bonne tête. Je me suis accoudé sur le comptoir de son échoppe ouverte sur la rue pour le photographier en légère contre plongée.
`J’ai fait - enfin, c’est ce que je croyais -, la mise au point sur le visage et j’ai déclenché.
De retour à l’hôtel, j’ai réalisé que ma photo était ratée. Comme les capteurs de l’autofocus étaient réglés, par défaut, en « multi-zones », l’automatisme a choisi de faire le point sur la partie de la photo qui lui semblait la plus importante. Ici, c’est la main. Résultat, comme j’avais une ouverture relativement élevée limitant la profondeur de champ, le visage qui était le plus important se retrouve… flou. Alors que dans mon esprit c’est la main qui aurait dû être floue pour mettre en valeur le visage.
Coup de chance, je trouve que cette photo fonctionne malgré tout. Je n’ai aucun mérite. C’est le hasard de l’électronique embarquée qui a fait le boulot.
En photo, il faut pourtant limiter les effets du hasard technique. Encore moins laisser l’appareil faire la photo à votre place. Si cette fois, ça a fonctionné, dans 99 % des cas la photo sera véritablement ratée.
Junagah (India) - We're not going to tell each other stories, this isn't the photo I wanted at all. In 2008, I had just purchased my first digital device and was far from mastering it.
For this photo of a couturier waiting for a client, I wanted to do a classic portrait, but with the sewing machine included. Element which in itself informs about the craft of the craftsman. A photo a priori rather easy to take.
The man had a good head. I leaned on the counter of his shop open to the street to photograph him in slight low angle. I did - well, that's what I thought - the focus on the face and triggered.
When I got back to the hotel, I realized my photo had failed. As the autofocus sensors were set by default to "multi-zones", the automation chose to focus on the part of the photo that seemed to be the most important. Here is the hand. As a result, since I had a relatively high aperture, limiting the depth of field, the face was found… blurry. Whereas in my mind it is the hand that should have been blurred to highlight the face.
Luckily, I find that finally this photo works anyway. But I have no merit. The on-board electronics did the job.
In photos, however, we must limit the effects of technical chance. Even less let the camera take the photo for you. If this time it worked, in 99% of cases the photo will really be a failure.
Seems to be the curse of RV's. Even though I buy quality name brand tires, use the highest ply rating available, and run a tire pressure and temperature monitoring system, it still happens. This sounded like a gunshot when it blew out. Failures like this can cause a lot of damage to the RV. Fortunately not too bad in this case. Part of the problem may be that I travel a lot of dirt roads or make my own roads over rough conditions. I now travel with two spares, just in case!
Habitat shot of an Indian vulture or Long billed vulture (Gyps indicus). In South Asia three Gyps species, the Asian white-backed vulture (G. bengalensis), the long-billed vulture (G. indicus), and the slender-billed vulture (G. tenuirostris), have been brought close to extinction by feeding on the carcasses of dead cattle that had been given pain-killing drugs; the pain killers cause kidney failure in the vultures.
*Working Towards a Better World
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying. -
Michael Jordan
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. -
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong. - Ella Fitzgerald
Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them. - Stacy London
Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are. -
Emmy Rossum
Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying. - Bear Grylls
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
CP 143 is stopped in Dorval due to issues with the leader (Air Force unit CP 7023) as crewmembers and shop forces look on. After further delay caused by having to set off a car, the train would continue to Smiths Falls where further problems with CP 7023 would cause it to be moved to trail position. At right are two stopped intermodal trains on the CN Montreal Sub (CN 108 & CN 186).
... to communicate.
I don't know what happened here.
