The advancement of Spring suffered a minor setback on April 2nd 2021. I was sad for the setback but kinda excited to get a few pics of flowers in the snow

This series is dedicated to my dear friend Bob, who I take care of here at the adult care home. He just had a setback, mini strokes that have stolen his strength. He is a wonderful man, who loves nature as I do, and has spent many years camping and mushrooming in these mountains. Yesterday he was at the Emergency room most of the day, and now he is very weak and uncoordinated. It breaks my heart to see him confused and struggling... so I brought him in a squash shell I found in the compost that had every seed sprouting with determination, and I told him he just needs to be stubborn like a squash! All around this sqaush shell, the compost was turning into dirt, but this collection of seeds was determined to grow rather than become food for other plants. I think every seed in the gourd has sprouted, and so I have replanted it into a place that it can go ahead and grow. It will be interesting to see how many of these seedlings actually become plants, how many survive. It is always heartwarming to see when my elders fight against the pitfalls of old age and ill health and move forward in a positive direction! I learn so much from watching these 79-92 year old folks!
Built in 1922-1924, this Romanesque Revival-style skyscraper was designed by Murgatroyd and Ogden along with Fugard and Knapp to serve as the Allerton Hotel, and was the first building in Chicago to feature setbacks, as mandated by the 1923 zoning law. The building stands 25 stories and 360 feet (110 meters) tall, and housed over 1000 rooms, many of which were apartment style, and meant to serve as long-term accommodation for tenants, with one of the most notable early tenants being Louis Skidmore, whom founded the architecture firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The building also contained amenities, including a library, sports facilities, and a solarium. The 23rd floor of the tower housed the Tip Top Tap Lounge from the 1940s until 1961, which is still advertised on the building’s north and south facades, and later became home to the Cloud Room in 1963, and has served as the Renaissance Ballroom since the 1990s. The building is clad in limestone at the base, which extends up to the sill line of the fourth floor windows, with roman arched bays, brick panels around the third floor windows, with gothic arches and trim at the first and second floor bays. Above the fourth floor sill line, the building is clad in red brick, with pilasters at the corners and between window bays between the fourth and eighteenth floors, with setbacks at the nineteenth floor, and chamfered corners at the corner towers above the nineteenth floor, arched windows at the 22nd and 23rd floors, balconies with machicolations at the 22nd floor, and hipped roofs, with the central tower rising an additional two stories above the corner towers, featuring signs mounted to the north and south facades, and an octagonal tower containing a chimney in the middle of the roof. The building was designated as a Chicago Landmark in 1998, and underwent a major renovation in 1998-1999 under the direction of Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, modernizing the hotel rooms and building systems, and restoring significant common areas within the building. The hotel reopened as the Allerton Crowne Plaza Hotel, remaining under the Crowne Plaza banner until after the building was sold in 2006, becoming The Allerton Hotel in 2007. The building underwent renovations around this time, and underwent more renovations after being sold in 2014, and is today known as the Warwick Allerton Hotel.
Built in the late 19th Century, these victorian rowhouses demonstrate the architectural evolution of houses during the period, with the central house being the oldest, with a deeper setback from the street and a simpler facade, and the two more exuberant houses, built two decades later, demonstrating the growth in wealth and aesthetic excess that occurred in the last few decades of the 19th Century.
On the left, built in 1892, this Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival-style rowhouse was designed by Thomas and Rapp, and features a red brick front facade, a mansard roof, copper trim and cresting, gabled dormers, a front gable with a decorative carved red sandstone relief, one-over-one double-hung windows with transoms, a two-story semi-circular oriel window with a copper railing on the roof, arched windows on the first and fourth floors, a front door with a decorative stone surround including ionic columns and cartouches, and a rusticated stone base.
In the center, built circa 1870, this Italianate-style rowhouse features a red brick three-bay front facade with two-over-two double-hung windows with arched upper sash and decorative stone window headers, a bracketed cornice with dentils, and a double entry door on the ground floor.
On the right, built in 1892, this Renaissance Revival-style rowhouse was designed by Thomas and Rapp, and features a red brick front facade, terra cotta trim, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, a cornice with modillions, brackets, and dentils, a fourth floor with circular oxeye windows with decorative terra cotta surrounds flanking a central double window, one-over-one double-hung windows, three arched windows on the second floor with decorative corinthian columns and acroterions, a one-story oriel window on the second floor flanked by ionic pilasters with a decorative canopy featuring corbels, and a four-bay first floor facade with ionic pilasters and a recessed doorway.
The houses, though built in different decades, demonstrate the townhouse or rowhouse housing typology, and each are excellent examples of their respective style. Though not officially landmarked or designated, the three are historic, and are a rare surviving fragment of the historic Prairie District that once was an enclave of some of Chicago’s wealthiest families during the time period in which these houses were built.
Plans are being drawn up to construct a setback levee along this stretch of the White River (the river marks the boundary of King and Pierce County).
The levee will "reconnect the White River to its historic floodplain and restore riverine processes and functions. The primary habitat that will be restored in the future is riparian and in-stream habitat. The priority species supported by these habitats are Endangered Species Act listed anadromous fish including coho, White River spring and summer chinook, pink, chum, and steelhead as well as non-listed bull trout and searun cutthroat trout."

Despite the Fan Fest with bounce houses and face painting on the Brooks Robinson Plaza, Big Boy Brass Band, York Symphony Orchestra, and fireworks that would take place post game, Monday afternoon's contest was a quiet one offensively for the York Revolution who mustered just two hits in a 3-1 defeat to the Lancaster Barnstormers in front of 5,769 fans at PeoplesBank Park. Aside from a ninth inning homer by JC Encarnacion to avoid a shutout, the biggest highlight offensively belonged to Carlos Franco who drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh to reach base in a 46th consecutive game, setting a Revs franchise record by doing so.

One of the day 3 setbacks was a non-working iron for the appliques. Problem solved.

I took my car in at 8am to be serviced before I drove out into the desert again; I found out that I had a cracked radiator, which cost me $500 to repair before I could even get on the road. With temperatures over 100 degrees everywhere out there, I was not going to have it done. Here I am, waiting...
The car wasn't ready until 2pm, so I got a late start...

NEWARK, Del. (Sept. 27, 2008) - Coming off a disappointing setback a week earlier and with the memory of an upset lost to Albany two seasons ago still in their minds, Delaware made sure of the outcome this time. Backed by a defense that allowed just 150 total yards and a 60-yard interception return for a touchdown by Tyrone Grant, the No. 17 ranked Blue Hens dominated the second half and cruised to a 38-7 victory over Albany Saturday night. Tyrone Grant pulls down WR Tim Bush.

I had a lecture, sorted my direction for the art history project and then failed to get at least one job shot.. I now have tomorrow to shoot all three. One I know for sure I can shoot tomorrow and the other two I will have to find. I don't need this right now, I have to pull this off.
You may remember something like this from earlier in the project only the earlier one had a concept.. this doesn't but I still think it looks cool :) Just playing with colours

(14 April 2012) The only setback was a disastrous field test of the Fishbrook Pond Imperial Saaz. I plopped it in the snow (on the summit) to take a promo shot, got the picture, then, like a Korean long-range missile, it nosedived upside down into the snow below. Managed to salvage a few slugs, but it was not a successful field test. Not at all.
The château of Chambord is one of the most unique constructions left to us by the Renaissance. Its architecture is a carefully balanced blend of traditional elements of Medieval French architecture and other elements borrowed from the Italian Renaissance. The massive keep, enclosed by four towers with their corbelled walkway and the rampart path are so similar to medieval fortresses. Similarly, the walls, moats and gothic look of the rooftop constructions. But the central placement of the keep, the position of the double helix staircase, the geometric lightness of the facades and their decoration, the symmetry of the buildings, how openings are included to provide a flow through the building and the presence of vaulted ceilings on the second storey are the many innovative parts of the chateau that make the monument unique.
With its dual inspiration, the château was the perfect instrument to sing the praises of the king and the perfect reflection of the personality of the man who had it built – a knightly king, heir to French traditions but at the same time a modern man who was fascinated by culture and the arts, inspired by the greatest artists of his time.

"Many years of sacrifice pushing forward despite what seemed like countless obstacles and setbacks in every facet from health issues and scares to taking risks that all seemed to fall short. As I look back on my life's journey with so many people who were part of it that are no longer with us it's a reminder this game of life is a short one with tomorrow never being a guarantee for any of us. Going into 2022 with a "bulletproof" positive mindset and 100% healthy, the sky's the limit for this Irishman. I'd rather shoot for the stars and miss than never shoot at all and wonder the rest of my life what could have been. Onwards and upwards."
Happy Holidays & God Bless,
John
