A very worried Mr. Warren
With this blast of winter weather, we have -3C/26.6F this morning, sunny though. it will snow again tonight. No water and the power outages are every other hour for an hour.
I'm very sorry for late post.
My house just recovered from a temporary power outage.
As a result, today ’s posts have been delayed.
A typhoon is approaching Tokyo.
It's monster class.
From now on, rain and wind will be stronger.
I'm anxious, but don't worry everyone!
Tomorrow morning, I ’ll show you guys again!

Heavy snow with thunder - snowfall rates of 2-3 inches/hr (5-8 cm/hr). Nor'easter Quinn produced heavy snowfall from Philadelphia to Boston, and brought widespread power outages. Snow total in Newtown, PA ~15" ( 38 cm).
This shot was taken at 10:30pm after the snow stopped. The moon was trying to peak out. And with the power outage the glow from Tupelo was very bright, from 20 miles away in the background.
The electricity was out for Tashkent and a couple of neighboring countries a few weeks ago. The normally well lit underpasses weren’t.
An end of March ice storm, the biggest winter precipitation event this season in my part of New York. Very strange to have such a snow/ice free winter. The ice was sufficient, however, to cause a large number of power outages -- usually many little ones in an area instead of fewer large ones. The tree branches are covered with little icicles, the product of a sequence of snow, ice, rain and freezing rain.
…when the power went out.
Actually, I wasn’t taking a bath, but high winds in my area on Friday did knock out our power and Internet connection. The outages are widespread, and it sounds as though it could be a few days before service is restored. I’m at the local McDonalds--which has power--as I post this. I’ll be back on Flickr after my Internet comes back. See you then.
It's a small blossom; the image is just over an inch on the long side. And there's a tiny visitor, which I didn't notice until I got the image on screen.
Macro Mondays: "Dried" theme

Flickr friends, I have been informed by our Internet provider that I will experience intermittent service outages on Monday, due to service upgrades that they are doing, so my comments on your images may be delayed. If that's the case, I will catch up as soon as I am able.
Last month there was a power outage. Mid-morning, nice day, no idea why. Maybe some farmer hit a power pole with his tractor. I decided to head out and make the best of the light - not a time of day I usually would choose, so perhaps a challenge to see what I could do with it.
And that's how I found myself in a prairie dog town, looking for Burrowing Owls. Suddenly, a red-brown flash dashing across the ground - a weasel? Yes! It ducked down an abandoned hole. What goes down, must come up, so I positioned the rolling red Toyota blind accordingly, and proceeded to wait.
I spot weasels from time to time, but not often. They're elusive, and in this area primarily nocturnal. I'll get to that in a moment.
Sure enough, a little brown face appeared, and then some of its upper body. The local prairie dog community was not impressed. One enormous (compared to the weasel) prairie dog began advancing directly toward it, and the weasel appeared very nervous - and suddenly bolted, with the rodent in hot pursuit. They zig-zagged through the dogtown, the weasel running for its life, and finally disappeared over a little rise. No shots of this - it happened behind my car, and I was shooting out the passenger window, not a good angle for tracking.
It was exciting, though. I knew prairie dogs can stand down the much smaller weasel in a confrontation; that's why the weasel likes to attack them at night, creeping into their burrows and killing them while they sleep. I've read this. It's quite another thing to see it play out in real life - the rodent standing its ground. There is no way to get my camera 20 feet underground in a small passageway in pitch dark to capture the weasel in full predator mode (or if there is, it's beyond the scope of what I can do).

It has rained all day and there is a wind warning in effect for Toronto now.
"A cold sweeping through southern Ontario this afternoon will bring strong winds with gusts of 90 - 110 km/h. Winds are expected to end by Monday morning. Power outages are likely"

Apologies to those of you that I haven't viewed your images after yesterday's internet outage. I will get there!
We had an unexpected power outage today which lasted from about 10:30 am till 6:00 pm. I had other plans for today but had to change them around to accommodate what things I could do without having any power. Thankfully we have a generator which ran the necessary things for heat, water and the microwave which helped me by melting the chocolate to get these ginger molasses cookies decorated. I had baked them yesterday and was going to decorate them today anyways. I bake these every year for Christmas. They are soft and chewy and are a family favourite.
I was also able to get all of my Christmas wrapping done today which is another thing I was able to check off my to-do list and so I feel much better about getting that task out of the way.
Thanks for your visit! I hope everyone had a great day!
Who would ever have thought that inspiration would come during a power outage?
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “yellow” was chosen by Andrew,
On Tuesday night, we had a power outage when a white, lowered utility drove into the power pole across the street from me. Who would have imagined that something yellow would come out of the pitch black? It did: the gleaming yellow light of a candle as we waited for the power to be restored.
There was so little rainfall that summer that the park wasn't able to keep this working mill open at at the time. Today, we aren't reliant on water-powered mills. Can you imagine the hardship that would cause back before today's electric facilities? Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, USA, October 2022

The experience of seeing a bright light during a near-death experience (NDE) is a common phenomenon, often attributed to physiological and psychological factors, particularly changes in brain activity during cardiac arrest or near-death situations. Research suggests that a surge in brain activity, especially in areas responsible for visual experience, may explain the perception of a bright light. Additionally, factors like decreased blood flow and oxygen to the eyes, leading to tunnel vision, could contribute to the experience.
Enough of that near death stuff - it was just another power cut (power outage) and a torch (flash light).
Skyrail in the Misty Rain.
It was a day of extreme weather ferocious, some said cyclonic, 110km/h winds lashing Melbourne, while sweltering temperatures were recorded in Sydney.
The winds brought down trees, causing mass power outages.
This morning, the misty rain, as seen in this photograph of the skyrail at Hughesdale Station, swept over the city. Then in the afternoon, the winds arrived. And, at night who knows?
Electrical fire on pole. Village centre, Cloyne, caused power outage for several hours. The energy of the fire caused fireworks for about an hour. Flickr Friday #energy

Darkness descended over the village last night when a power outage struck right at sunset. I spent the first 15 minutes as one usually does in such an event, hoping it's just a momentary hiccup on the grid. More than once I flipped light switches out of habit, and each time experienced that flash of 'duh!' and disappointment that nothing happened. Around here, if power isn't restored quickly, it's generally out for an hour or more. As the shadows lengthened, my next inclination was to head outdoors. The village is far from a metropolis, however the streets are bathed in the occasional streetlight, and there's the additional comfort of seeing the lights shinning from within homes. Stepping out into the darkness was eerie and a bit jarring. I could still see my way, but everything I was accustomed to looked dramatically different. Most noticeably the charming old houses that now looked as dark as sin. The absence of lighted windows made them appear inhospitable and even frightening. Car headlights (what few I encountered) were murderously glaring and made me feel as if they were probing the darkness for me. Each encounter made me feel like a fugitive and I found myself darting around corners to avoid the blinding light. I was breaking no laws yet felt guilty as hell, All in all, uncomfortable but simultaneously thrilling. I thrive on dichotomy and the evening was brimming with it. My cherished and quite comfortable neighborhood transformed into something dark and scary...familiar places viewed in extraordinary moments.
Dichotomy was my reaction to this portrait. Her eyes seemed ages older than her face, and her facial expression exuded an almost unsettling calmness for one so young. She adopted this look with virtually no posing cues on my part. I simply lifted the lens and found a portal into her soul. The first shot as good as anything I could have achieved in two hours or two days. I often sense a higher level of maturity in kids these days in comparison to kids of the corresponding age when I was young. Not sure if that's a reality or just my perception. Or if it's yet another instance of the camera bringing out a look that can only be discerned from a certain angle, or in a specific moment. Not unlike walking the darkened streets of a blacked out village.
This is not the kind of post I ever imagined publishing, but then here it is anyway. The worst we had braced for was torrential rain, flooded streets (and some flooded houses as well), and electricity-water-broadband outage for a day or two. After all Cyclone Nada had passed by with a whimper just a few days ago causing some limited damage. But then Poseidon was possibly in a particularly bad mood this time around and decided to spring a nasty surprise on us :-( Cyclone Vardah changed course to make landfall on Chennai (India) coast instead of significantly up-north as originally anticipated, the winds swished by at up to 140 kmph speed uprooting completely thousands of large trees across the city over a few hours, and some under-sea cables were damaged to severely restrict telephone and internet connectivity!!! The name for this cyclone 'Vardah' means 'Red Rose'... and what a red rose it turned out to be with the total damage pegged at 2 billion USD :-(

I haven't been on Flickr the last few days because of a huge Winter storm that knocked out our electrical power over the last 48 hours. We've been in emergency heating mode with the old reliable Vermont Castings Vigilant parlor wood stove. After a couple of days of darkness, it's good to be back!
We got to be part of a 10,000+ people power outage last night. HOT times in the old town last night! WOW! We are such whiners! Temps rose into the 80s in the house and it was hot and humid outside. We are thankful to Entergy for hurrying up with the repair!
We've had a strange series of power outages over the past week... the power has blown four or five times, more than usually happens in a year. Is the system stressed due to impact of the virus on the work force? No one seems to know. We always assume that some farmer has run his machinery into a pole, but the power company has been known to blame beavers. Two evenings ago the farmers and beavers must have colluded once again; I had to haul my camp stove up from the basement to finish cooking supper. Another evening, the power blew out just after supper. Unable to watch a movie, use my computer, or play my guitar (at the volume to which I am accustomed, haha), I decided to take a drive to the park and see what I could see...
It turned out to be fairly productive: some good landscape light, innumerable mule deer, three moose, and three porcupines. Not bad for an improvised outing. This cow Moose was the last of the three, and the closest: she crossed the road in front of me and trotted across a field, then stopped in front of a prairie hill that the last rays of the day had turned a rich sunset pink.
I got home just before 10 pm, the sky not yet fully dark. The power was back on.

A transformer fire downtown caused a power outage in and around the Eaton Centre. All the stores were closed but nobody seemed to be leaving.
Yay, power outage! All day after I got home from my shoot :(
I'm scared to edit photos after I lost SO MUCH work earlier, but please be patient and know that I am editing as much as I can tomorrow so you WILL have photos if you are waiting for them. Small delay, if any :)
I hate not being able to work, but it was great to play my guitar and drink some delicious drinks for a while!

A power outage woke us up this AM and a trip out to the pond found this guy on a Wild goldenglow (Rudbeckia laciniata) leaf. It looks like some kind of Spring Azure butterfly (Celastrina ladon) but there are many variations. This one's only ~1/2 inch (1.25 cm) in size. I helps that these flowers get tall enough that I'm shooting macros at head height, no bending required.

In the USA this would be known as a "power outage" .
Fortunately it wasn't dark outside and it only lasted about 15 minutes. When I first moved to the village it used to happen a lot, Now they are a fairly rare annoyance.
A power outage (also called a powercut, a power out, a power failure, a power blackout, a power loss, or a blackout) is the loss of the electrical power network supply to an end user.
There are many causes of power failures in an electricity network. Examples of these causes include faults at power stations, damage to electric transmission lines, substations or other parts of the distribution system, a short circuit, cascading failure, fuse or circuit breaker operation.

Good morning PLFs. Happy ThursMei! Happy ThursBeo! Happy FurzBEI!
Happy 69 days precious little traveling cub!
Hope everyone is safe from Zeta. Amazingly we have power. Lots of outages and downed trees, debris, a power lines..still under a tropical storm warning. Work is supposed to open at noon so we'll see.
Have a pawsome day everyone, be safe.
there was a power outage at work and we got out early, so bryan and i went to the new restaurant that was opening today. it's right across from the mall and we had hours to kill, so i suggested we wander around for a while. i am, of course, well known on Inter Net for I HATE THIS MALL, so i figured i should back that opinion up with some recent experience.
right by the food court is this huge sign asking people to beg for chick-fil-a. there once was a chicken fil-et in this mall, i'm sure of it.
