PAT: "Don't you think our igloo is a little small for three bears?"
ODESSA: "It's small even for two!"
OTIS: "But it's fine for me!"
Tonight was supposed to be a time to celebrate. Tonight was supposed to be a night of fun and excitement. Tonight was not supposed to end in tears and screaming. It was only a month or so ago that'd she'd began learning to forgive herself for her sisters death. One mistake wasn't the only reason McKenna died, right? But when another mistakes, the failure to learn everything she needed to know, results in the only person she has in her life that she cares about, getting hurt... everything comes crashing down. Maybe it was her fault. Maybe everything was.

When she's at the bottom, she lets her facade break. She darts into the kitchen quickly and presses her back against the wall, sliding down as her hands reach to cover her face. The tears come without hesitation and the silent sobs fall on deaf ears. The guilt races through her like an unwanted visitor she was sure she'd run from already. But instead, she finds herself trying to recite the words he taught her. 'I did all I could...' 'No I didn't...' 'Still here...' 'But he's broken even more again...' 'Meaning...' 'What meaning can come of this? You failed again, Jorgia.'...*
Taken for Saturday Self Challenge - 05/12/2020 - Shadowplay .
Well this week apart half a day with a short spell of sunshine ( when I was down at the dump ! ) there have not been any shadows to work with , so it had to be an indoor set up job . A couple of total failures including a pair of model Native American Indians which I had grand plans of putting them together with one flipped horizontally so the shadows were falling in different directions but fell down at the join . So after a few tries it came down to the swan and the fairy - the swan won and the fairy is in the first comment box , fair to say a little bit of influence from JoLynne's shot from last week as to presentation - thanks JoLynne .
and so to a song or two
First up one called " Shadowplay " by Rory Gallagher - who got mentioned by Jimi Hendrix in an interview -------------
When Mike Douglas asked Jimi "What's it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?" Jimi responded "I don't know, you'll have to ask Rory Gallagher" Despite the fact Rory toured the world and sold over 30 million albums, he never achieved mainstream fame.
And to make sure you are not nodding off --------------
" Shadows of the Valley "
The image of failure. 4x5 xray negative from 4x5 holder in speed graphic. Meant for a wonderful Lumen on Xray but that was bound to fail, for reasons I am not aware of yet.
This is for everyone who would like to see failure up close and personal.

Iarnród Éireann Class 201, No 224 receives attention on the hoist at "The Works' . although this might be more benefit of the 'Works' 175th open day as 224. a regular performer for many years on the Cork - Dublin' mainline had been out of traffic since 2020 with serious structural under frame failure.

I spent an embarrassingly large amount of time creating bubbles and having every one of them fail. My bubble solution needs to be remade because the bubbles die and pop very quickly but instead of pouring it out and starting with fresh, I kept going. I wanted to make it work and even though I was frustrated that they lost color and popped. I won't make that mistake tomorrow but need to use one of the images from today as a reminder that when things aren't working we should stop and fix them. I am not sure if you need to hear this message today too but if you know something isn't working instead of just powering through you will end up with better results and be happier if you fix the problem instead of just ignoring it and thinking it will go away. Learn from my failure... especially all of my grammatical errors.
Failures.

So basically I'm starting a 365 for the third time, a lot of you guys may be like; "really?". But i am making another attempt. The first attempt failed because of my failure to organize my coursework, and coursework comes before flickr...so that's that, and the second time was going fine until certain events occurred. Ahhh well I'm going o try and try again!
A special thanks to Cody for the lovely testimonial!
This is my last image of 2016. It was a year of extreme ups and downs, failure and success, plenty of joy, happiness and just as much heartbreak and sadness. But I'm still here and I'm telling this story. So it's all good. I'm looking forward to see what 2017 will bring.
Featured is Downtown Dubai and of course, Burj Khalifa, captured and mixed from night time to daytime with my own, 'TDIB' (Time-Dilation Image Blending) post-processing method. Layered fog was that something extra this image needed to look special. And I got that too.
Happy New Year folks. See you on the other side.
If the painting of the tree is no success take the eraser and a nice texture and yes it looks better. Thanks everybody for the visit and specially the people of the textures , thanks
While I had high hopes that this cloud Cannon Beach formation may have led to this sky turning ablaze in sunset colors, it turned out to hardly give any hint of what I had hoped for. Still, I found myself mesmerized by the detailed reflections in the sand.
While we wait for spring to be reborn lets take in the textures, patterns, and lukewarm colors.

sam made this guy from a kit, and considering the instructions were in burmese, i was so proud. the thing worked too, for about 5 minutes, then one of the red eyeball lights went out. it's balance was too off kilter for much walking and sam was soon in mourning on the bathroom floor.
Henry Ford is often looked back upon by history as a pioneer and innovator with his successful automobile manufacturing legacy. But not all of his ideas were successful. In 1920 Ford bought the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton which served his Rouge factory. His grand plans included electrifying the railroad so he could use power from his factory to keep costs down. But this electrification project was ultimately a failure as electric trains only ran for a few years before the subsequent owner of the DT&I determined steam was more economical. Ford’s electrification arches still remain to this day, mainly because they were made of solid concrete and too costly to remove. Canadian National train L572 is seen here rolling south towards Flat Rock Yard on the former DT&I (currently the CN Dearborn Subdivision). Two former IC SD70s lead the train under some of Ford’s Arches that remain near Taylor, MI.

From reckless corporate consolidation of the media industry, the Presidential persecution of whistle blowers to the targeting of independent wartime journalists by our military, our system has completely failed us. The continuous stream of sensationalism feeds our addiction to drama, hyperstimulating the senses with fear and novelty. The war drums beat to the tune of our racing hearts – which rage with fury over manipulated messages driven by those in power.
Personally, my advise would be to shut off the TVs – which drive us away from the essence of a meaningful existence. Ignore all mainstream messages – they are rooted in profit. Focus our thoughts and hearts to kindness, forgiveness and tolerance. The Fourth Estate will burn on its own.

One of the primary new techniques (for me) used in this build was the implementation of Lego nets (71155) for sculpting. By backing each net with smaller plates – set apart by 1 stud – and then using 1x1 round plate pips on the front side (sandwiching the net in between), I had a flexible scrim which I could then build off of. This allowed for the undulating forms in the explosion area.
What do you call a Beautiful and Friendly Witch?..."A Failure"...Asha you are such a big failure...
I've decided to upload some of my Asha Halloween pictures I've had them ready for ages and just couldn't wait to upload them. I want to see how they are received as I have quite a load of them... This was one of the first Halloween pictures I ever took of Asha and I think it is so cute ...
Union Pacific train YSP51 will have to swap power before proceeding to East Minneapolis after the PTC failed in 1933. This was one of many delays on that day; the train didn't depart until sunset.
Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. The swans' closest relatives include the geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae. There are six or seven living (and one extinct) species of swan in the genus Cygnus; in addition, there is another species known as the coscoroba swan, although this species is no longer considered one of the true swans. Swans usually mate for life, although 'divorce' sometimes occurs, particularly following nesting failure, and if a mate dies, the remaining swan will take up with another. The Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white plumage but the Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian black swan (Cygnus atratus) is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its wings; the chicks of black swans are light grey. R_6653
Project I did for school. Only thing actually photoshopped into this image was the lamp on the left side. Everything else was actually used in the shot, and is not stacked images. Tripod, timer, and a lot of water on the floor, and not to mention how hard it was to see the timer with the black cloth over my head. Hope you guys enjoy it. A little bit about myself, Im a Self taught photographer from Kentucky, currently in college at the art institute in Nashville, TN. I have been shooting since 2009, and mainly just been working with natural lighting. Finally im learning studio lighting, so stay tuned for some of my best work.
So heres the full story: The day prior to this, ZMQG4s lead ace (seen 3rd out) suffered an engine block failure and was shut down indefinitely. Rather than run the BN ace around, they parked it in nowhere southern Illinois. Now a day behind schedule, IG4SI was supposed to drop a CSX unit to rescue IG4SI, and clearly that didnt happen. So an extra board crew out of Dupo had to drive up to Bloomington, steal their local power, and bring the now 2 days late stack, into G4... running under IDUG4X-20.
Props to the based crew that chatted with us while they were parked south of Gardner later that evening.
Anyways, heres the rescued stack screaming through Odell in notch 8.
Running an hour late due to multiple CTC failures in the Crystal Brook area is Aurizon Intermodal service 3DA6 from Berrimah to Islington as ALF24/FQ04 work through Korunye on Thursday the 6th of February 2025, the FQ originally lead this train out of Darwin however the locomotives were spun on the triangle at Muckaty due to an Air Conditioning failure, with the ALF leading the remainder of the journey to Adelaide.
ALF24 joins classmates ALF22 & ALF23 in wearing the Aurizon livery, standing out amongst the other inherited locomotives ex One Rail Australia in the Aurizon Bulk Central fleet. The CLF/CLP class locomotives are due to receive the yellow treatment in the coming months as overhaul programs commence at the Motive Power Centre in Dry Creek, with repainting to be completed at Islington Workshops by Railfirst Asset Management.

passed away on monday, actually I had to make the decision for him.
kidney failure said the Vet, so we done the right thing..which is always so hard to do. but he's now over the rainbow bridge and has a good life. Harry has been quite old, 17 -18y, I never really knew and hope the last 2 1/2y have been happy ones for him. I sure had a lot of fun with Harry and some fights, in the end we always made up and being good with each other
RIP Sweetheart.
Left one press printed.
Right one hand printed.
This is why I never hand print anymore! I suck at it!
Experiment with hard cherry wood was a failure. While the image doesn't look bad carving this wood was not worth the added effort due to the hardness of the wood. Plus the wood is so much thicker than shina that I had to raise the press roller. Annoying. I might actually recarve it on shina. This block took me a good hour to an hour and a half to carve. I could carve it in shina in fifteen minutes. And shina is a lot cheaper too.
