As a thunderstorm passed in the distance I got the camera low on the tripod to use some vegetation as the foreground element. As luck would have it the storm delivered the background. A lighting trigger was used with an exposure set for 6 seconds which generated the slight blur in the bushes due to the windy conditions.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

(It's not quite the Year of the Rat, but for some reason, I'm already feeling optimistic. It's my year & I'm summoning all the ratty positive power to avert the apocalypse contrived by the Orange Agent. and I'm doing it in Year of the Rat jewelry by S. Lima, Raspberry dress by Eternus & dark red Christmas Melee shoes from Heels!)

A look into a mossy glade next to the boardwalk on the White Cedar Segment of the Ice Age Trail. Oh how I love this kind of thing. On my next time through I'll lower the perspective some, but this is certainly different.
After getting the Mandarin Duck, we headed for Arrowhead Marsh to try our luck at the Tropical Kingbird. There were several people we ran into looking for this misguided bird but unable to find him, so we headed out for Lake Merrit in search of the Tufted Duck. As we're making our way past the islands to the large fountain we stopped to get some shots of the male Ruddy Duck sporting a new blue bill when we looked up to see several Greater Scaup being followed by the Tufted Duck...yes, that's the way it happened...:) We all got a good laugh at this 'good luck' of fortune!
I've had such poor luck catching sunsets with clouds lately. We've had three conditions, no clouds, the clouds vanish just before sunset, or it is completely overcast.... On this one I had a day with a little sunset luck, and didn't see the birds until I got home.
So this is the concept design for my SHIP to come, hopefully...
The first I tried a few years back wasn't planned enough and the different sections didn't flow nor hold well together. The second one was better but became increasingly difficult to finish due to a complex 3 decks accessible interior...
Now this one is simpler in volume, but I wanted to try using angled panels and a more radical color blocking (even if I still prefer colorful ships, so it's not all grey and white).
The accessible areas (minifig scale) will be limited to the upper deck, with the exception of the access hatch and cargo bay. I don't know how long it will be but I'm aiming at 100 studs for the main panels only (without thrusters and front sensors).
Around the main picture are early designs (upper right and lower left corner) and concept for the technic frame (upper left corner).
By luck, I'll be close to a Lego store next week, I hope to get more greebles and tiles in the appropriate colors.
Tell me if you have suggestions, I want it to be good! And I'm gonna finish this one! Well, first I need to start...

I would have liked this shot more had it have been totally in focus, but they were quite a way, away, and I didn't have a tripod..:O(
But I liked the way I caught Mother and Child looking like each other and in the same direction...just luck I guess..lol..:O)
After a rainy gray afternoon it looked like the clouds might be breaking up a bit over the peaks, so I went out to look for a sunset. I thought I was going to be shut out, but eventually a little shaft of light poked through the clouds for just a moment....
“That is life, isn’t it? Fate. Luck. Chance. A long series of what-if’s that lead from one moment to the next, time never pausing for you to catch your breath, to make sense of the cards that have been handed to you. And all you can do is play your cards and hope for the best, because in the end, it all comes back to those three basics.
Fate. Luck. Chance.”
― Kelseyleigh Reber
So life.... and luck... I've learned...
Luck really doesn't just happen.... don't depend on it. If you don't do the work, you're not going to get the results. But...sometimes.... luck may take you to a place and hand you an unexpected treasure... like the little blue flowers growing all over by this unfortunate odd shed, with no house anywhere nearby. I'm going back to dig some up!
And also unfortunate... I have learned that in a battle between a nylon jacket and picker bushes... the picker bushes are going to win, hands down. Jacket totally shredded! Oh, and along the same line... running pants will also not do much to protect you from picker bushes. Legs and ankles... also shredded.
And as if that wasn't enough for one day.... I'm here to tell you that the mosquitoes are out ... in force! I was also eaten alive by mosquitoes. I couldn't slap them off fast enough. And do you want to talk about ticks....no, let's not!!
Yeah... not much luck in my world today (except for the pretty little blue flowers! I hope they aren't full of mosquitoes and ticks!)
Swallows move so quickly and erratically and they are fascinating to watch in flight. When I see them, I always take a few shots in hopes that I'll be on the mark. It does take skill and practice, but it does take a "whole lotta luck" as well.
This is one of the lucky shots. I not only got the Swallow in flight, but I also got his reflection in the water.
This was taken with my 5.6 - 400 mm lens, which doesn't have IS.

What Luck
What luck I can pick
berries in the wood
I thought
there is no wood no berries.
What luck I can lie
in the shade of a tree
I thought trees
no longer give shade.
What luck I am with you
my heart beats so
I thought man
has no heart.

An inspiration.
I regret that I did not get a chance to meet him when I was at the Big Apple. But the inspiration of his works did infuse me with such visual energy and dynamic outlook that I began to photograph NYC the way he would have seen and captured it. This is for you, kaibigan. Peng you.

This image is either luck or not... I believe not so much. the image isn't perfect, but it was the only image I was able to get.
to start I was hoping to finish work early and go take some pictures... didn't finish till 3.30 and only had a short time. I walked 1km to this location, spent some time setting up and try to position the camera so its not taking all the wind and ocean spray. I got the camera focused, started taking my exposure then when it hit 56seconds...."change battery pack", I took the 2 batteries out of the battery grip, put my other two in and "change battery pack". spent the whole day wanting to take photos and when I had the chance, I forgot to charge my batteries! this was the only image I had.

Black cats have long been associated with bad luck, and superstitions have surrounded them since Medieval times. One may believe that if a black cat crosses their path, they will have bad luck, or that a black cat is actually a witch in disguise. These felines have also been folded into modern Halloween symbols, giving them the unearned reputation of being spooky.

Coming face to face with your doppelganger.
A doppelgänger; sometimes spelled doppelgaenger or doppelganger, is a ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts its own fleshly counterpart.
In fiction and mythology, a doppelgänger is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon and usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. Other traditions and stories equate a doppelgänger with an evil twin. In modern times, the term twin stranger is occasionally used.

After miserable luck with the class 20s, I ventured over to Pitstone, little did I know that everything was routed onto the main.. so here we see a still sort of shiny 66091 heading through Pitstone on the 4L48, Daventry-Purfleet ..The 66 was previously in EWS/DB cargo but has since been repainted into DRS' colours and has now become part of their fleet
