"Femininity is a strength not a weakness. I want women to feel empowered without giving up their femininity"
Catherine Malandrino
"Feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength"
G.D Anderson
I am so grateful to be included in this wonderful campaign. Thank you Lawrence 💛. When I saw it was about honouring both the beauty and strength of women I was hooked! This is something I am really passionate about. Breaking down the stigma and misconceptions of what it means to be a strong, empowered woman. What it means to honour the blood and tears of our sisters who rose before us and pathed the way through the women's rights movement. Who wore the badge of feminist with pride.
We now find ourselves in a time when feminism is a dirty word, when it conjures up thoughts of women who go around breaking the balls of men with their hairy armpits and masculine ways. This is a deliberate falsification of reality. It is my dream for women to stand in solidarity with one another, in every corner of the globe, to keep striving for equity and respect in every facet of life. Both at home and in the corporate and political arenas. But to be able to do so without giving up our most beautiful quality which is our femininity as that is where our greatest strengths are found.
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
(2nd Corinthians 12:9)

Feeling down, alone, and empty inside,
Decisions to make, but can't decide,
Hurt from pain of a broken heart,
Days go on as if they are dark,
Looking for happiness, the light to return,
My soul feels empty, deceptive, a burn.
~ Vince Milford
Making this photo I had many different meanings in mind. Then I found this poem and it really solidified the connection I saw in both.
I went into the woods one day to location scout and found this tree had fallen. It was large and it took me by surprise. How did I not hear it fall as it tumbled to the ground? What was its cause of death? Something so grand which towered over me now lies broken upon the ground I walk; its limbs which once reached towards Heaven now dig into the earth
It's ironic how this correlates with people - keeping to themselves, not speaking a word, until it is too late.

“Vulnerability is not weakness, and the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional. Our only choice is a question of engagement. Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and the clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection.” ― Brené Brown
Looking out over the windswept Oregon coastline, ominous clouds gather overhead as a curtain of rain softens the horizon. A lone rock offers tenuous shelter to the seabirds and seals that live along this stretch of the Pacific ocean. Misty light filters down through the darkening, roiling sky, lending a soft glow to the moody seascape.
As the storm moves ashore, I capture a few frames and think about how it is difficult not to feel small in a world of such overwhelming beauty. Read more on the blog.

Misty's leg weakness have gotten significantly worse and she's having more difficulty walking and standing up for too long, so we've drastically cut back on her walks and going to the park only when she's feeling good enough, like on this day. It's hard, because the joy I see on her face when she's out there is so clear. We've done some more research and we're going to try out some leg braces next and see if they help...
Oh, help me in my weakness
I heard the drifter say
As they carried him from the court room
And were taking him away
Well, my trip hasn't been a pleasant one
And my time it isn't long
And I still do not know
What is was that I've done wrong...

Old market across from the court house in downtown Eureka, California still has a nice old neon sign...Rusty from the salt air but still standing...
I see strength and weakness at once. I see a strong human-made structure that constrains even nature's strongest winds, but is filled with cracks and imperfections. At the same time, I bear witness to the the undeserving warning and caution that we humans now surround ourselves with (even outdoors). Meanwhile, nature perseveres; it grows where it wants, without regard for the wishes of man.
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

Naked Indian, dancing like a maniac, driving along the Coast of Gaspesie, walking through the Parc Lafontaine, making love in the car in industrial Lachine, crying in your arms that night in September when my Mom was sick, hiking in St-Donat, getting locked out of our room at the Bed & Breakfast while we were half naked... so many more things to think about, but so many more things to do together.
- Ben:
Night walks aside the lakeshore, playing arcades till 4am, kiss whenever we crossed a street in Outremont , dancing in the rain in front of my house, hiding french fries in the plants, dance to classical music in the snow at 2am, kayaking in bonaventure, biking in ile Bizard , birdie kisses, Tracy, the emotion when you got your cam, walking in complete darkness in St-Donat, cappucino in Caplan , wolfman in st-flavie, July 10th 2007, Singing blood roses while im holding you in my arms, She wants revenge concert, kisses behind your neck while washing dishes, saying hello to everyone while driving on the 132, slow dancing without music in your kitchen...

She was his strength and his weakness all at the same time. While he tied her body she tied his heart.

The parish church of St Nicholas at Fyfield, Essex, consists of nave, north and south aisles, chancel, central tower, north porch and organ chamber. The nave and the first stage of the tower are mostly flint rubble with some Roman brick. The second stage of the tower is largely of red brick and there is a timber belfry. The exterior of the church is mostly covered with cement, now in poor repair, and numerous buttresses of the 18th and 19th centuries show where weaknesses have developed. The building differs in several respects from the type of parish church found in the area. The 12th-century plan with the tower standing 'cathedralwise' is unusual, and it is evident that large sums were spent on improvements during the 13th and 14th centuries.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157630268482440/ to see a full set taken over several years.
The nave was built in the 12th century. The walling at each end of the two arcades is 3 ft. thick and is evidently the original 12th-century work. The lower part of the tower is of the same date, including the large stair turret on the north side reaching to the second stage. The stair has a circular newel of Roman brick and there are arches of Roman brick to the round-headed windows in the south and west walls of the second stage of the tower. The former window has been blocked by brickwork and the latter opens into the roof space above the nave.
About 1220 a north aisle of three bays was added to the nave. The pointed arches are of two chamfered orders and rest on circular columns with moulded capitals and bases. Attached half-columns form the responds against the ends of the 12th-century walls. In the middle of the 13th century the south aisle was added. This is similar in general arrangement to the north aisle but the arches are moulded and the supporting columns are octagonal. The single-light window in the west wall is probably of the 13th century but its four-centred head was added later. There are traces of colour decoration of uncertain date on both arcades.
The chancel was built about 1330-40. The date can be fixed approximately by the detail of the interior. All the windows are of the 14th century and have moulded labels and head stops. The tracery of the east window has been replaced, but the fine carving of the jambs and rear arch survives. Between the windows in the south wall are stepped sedilia of three bays. The arches are cinquefoiled and between them are octagonal shafts of Purbeck marble. The moulded label has four carved head stops, one head wearing a mitre and another a curious pointed head-dress terminating in a flower. In the spandrel above a third head are three balls carved in relief; it has been suggested that these are the emblems of St. Nicholas.
East of the sedilia is a piscina of similar detail and further east there is a credence with one jamb cut off by the east wall of the chancel. Below the chancel is a vault which has a wide arched opening externally under the east window. This opening was sealed during the restoration of 1893 but one account of the church suggests that it was formerly pierced with quatrefoil openings, possibly for the viewing of relics. Another account, given in 1898 by the then rector, the Revd. L. Elwyn Lewis, referred to the existence of arcading internally below the east window.
The arch between the tower and the nave is of the 14th century, much restored. The north porch retains moulded timbers of the late 14th century and a pointed timber arch of which the spandrels were probably once filled with tracery.
Some years before 1768 part of the tower fell, perhaps after being struck by lightning. Before the end of the 18th century the second stage was largely rebuilt in red brick and a window was inserted on the north side. Above the brickwork is a hipped roof, above which is a square weather-boarded belfry with ball finials at the corners. There is a small boarded spire. The west wall of the nave may have been rebuilt in the 18th century.
In the first half of the 19th century a vestry was formed by extending the north aisle eastward as far as the stair turret of the tower. In 1853 the church was restored and in 1875 tracery was inserted in the east window at the expense of W. S. Horner. In 1893 £1,300 was spent on restoration. Some blocked windows were uncovered and a new west door and window inserted.
Both the tower arches were largely rebuilt and the chancel roof may have been reconstructed at the same time. The oak reredos and chancel seating were installed, the oak coming from St. Paul's, Knightsbridge. The seating in the nave is also of the late 19th century, incorporating some 16th-century moulded rails. During the incumbency of the Revd. L. Elwyn Lewis (1895-1905), who held high church views, a surpliced choir was started and the old organ was moved from the west end of the church into the vestry. In 1901 a new organ was installed against the north wall of the tower, largely at the rector's own expense. The vestry is now an organ chamber.
The square font bowl of Purbeck marble is of the late 12th century. Two of the sides are decorated with recessed arcading and the other two have a central fleur-de-lis flanked by vine leaves. The oak screen between the nave and the tower was carved by A. J. B. Challis of Clatterford Hall in 1914. The pulpit is of the same date.
There are six bells, all modern or recast. Under the organ on the north side of the chancel there is said to be a slab bearing the indent of a foliated cross, flanked by square pennons or axes. There is a tradition that this covers the headless body of Henry, Lord Scrope, beheaded in 1415. Also in the chancel are some 18th century floor slabs with shields of arms to members of the Pochin family and to one of the Beverley family. There are also several 18th-century slabs to the Collins family of Lampetts and to the Brands of Herons.
High-tech surveys have highlighted weaknesses in the huge chimney stacks on the keep and gatehouse.
Cadw ( the Welsh equivalent of English Heritage), which manages the castle, used drones to fly close up and take detailed photographs. These showed tiny fissures in the stone and deterioration to the pointing, allowing water to seep in to the bedrooms below.
Removing the airbricks, they were amazed to find a colony of around 100,000 bees, which had made their home deep in the walls of the castle. Work was stopped to allow professional beekeeper, Lorne East, to come in and salvage the colony.
CADW have worked through heat, storms and lots of rain.
Power of Christ
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV)

"The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them."
,,
amm well , the original picture was soo bad so i tried to create something that is not similar to my works with adding some textures ..
So I have a weakness when it comes to portraits. Not only am I a big fan of taking photos of girls in fields, but I also love putting a chair in the middle of a location and having the model sitting on it. It's a simple idea, but I feel like it always comes out somewhat different, depending on the model, location, and chair.

"An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength." Leonardo da Vinci.
Located on the Loop Head Peninsula, the Bridges of Ross were originally 3 natural arches of rock that rose above the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in this remote area of County Clare. Due to the constant erosion caused by the waves and the harsh Irish climate, two of the arches collapsed in the past, and only one of them still stands, however, the plural name is still preserved to refer to this place. Walking over the remaining “bridge”, as well as its surroundings, requires caution, but the views of this coastal landscape undoubtedly justify the visit to this place.
When you are in front of this natural beauty, you cannot help but think that one day it will cease to exist, and the strength that now emanates will also succumb to the unstoppable effect of the elements and the passage of time.
---------------------------------------------------
"Un arco consiste en dos puntos débiles que, apoyados uno contra el otro, crean una fortaleza". Leonardo da Vinci.
Situados en Loop Head Peninsula, los Puentes de Ross (Bridges of Ross en inglés) eran originalmente 3 arcos naturales de roca que se alzaban sobre las aguas del Océano Atlántico en esta zona remota del Condado de Clare. Debido a la constante erosión provocada por las olas y el duro clima irlandés, dos de los arcos se vinieron abajo en el pasado, y solo uno de ellos permanece aún en pie, no obstante, aún se conserva el nombre en plural para denominar a este lugar. Caminar por encima del “puente” restante, así como por el entorno del mismo, requiere prudencia, pero las vistas de este paisaje costero justifican, sin duda, la visita a este lugar.
Cuando se está frente a esta belleza natural, no se puede evitar pensar que algún día dejará de existir, y la fortaleza que ahora emana sucumbirá también al efecto imparable de los elementos y del paso del tiempo.
Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all and
Growing beneath it all
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what we'll be
Oh, glory.
-Paramore
There's a fire near the town I live in. It's already hot enough as it is, but this is making the world a giant oven. It's making the sky very orange and the air very smokey.
Well, this is how we'll sing when they burn our houses down.
I have a weakness for red umbrellas. I blame it on Saul Leiter's photography. Now I always want to go out in inclement weather and search for them, camera in hand. That being said, only a fool would go out in a snowstorm with a camera. I'm such a fool. Only a fool would go out with a camera in a snowstorm to take pictures just prior to showing up at his doctor's office for minor surgery. I am such a fool.
Surgery was easy-peasy and if I am uploading photos comfortably from home, you know I'm fine! Should be back at work tomorrow- sometime-- depending on how well the commuter trains are coping with the snow
"Our scars remind us that the past is real."
Scars- Papa Roach.
This has so much personal value, it's ridiculous.
"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed."

Three plants find sustenance in a narrow crack in Utah sandstone.
This small scene was in the bottom of a Southern Utah canyon, where the light was richly saturated as it reflected among red rock walls on its way to the canyon floor. This light virtually glows, and it can be quite soft, filling in shadows and saturating colors. In these places and in this light, even the most mundane subject can begin to be appealing.
I’m always fascinated by plants that manage to establish themselves in unlikely spots with minimal chance for success… and then manage to sustain themselves there for years, decades, or even centuries. I first became attracted to such things in the Sierra Nevada, where full grown trees sometimes seem to grow in nearly solid rock. These plants are smaller, but it is quite amazing that such a small crack creates an environment in which they can thrive.

"Helm's Deep has but one weakness. It's outer wall is solid rock except for a small culvert in space, which is little more than a drain. If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall."
Helm's Deep is finished!
One of my best MOCs ever, It's not the most accurate Helm's Deep you'll see in terms of length, but I wanted to include both rockwork and the wall breach, and I think that turned out great. A lot of action, including a surfing Legolas!

This is a "slice" of a recently cut down tree in our local park!
I LOVED the figures which naturally appeared in this mirror image! Wisdom from the old tree, speaking to me!
“There are realities we all share,
regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes.
As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment:
love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others.
We need to understand our environment and our relationship to it.
We need to fulfill certain inner hungers:
the need for happiness, for peace of mind, for wisdom.”
~ J. Donald Walters ~
(dedicated to an an amazingly insightful, brilliant, nourishing friend!)
“The more a person analyzes his inner self,
the more insignificant he seems to himself.
This is the first lesson of wisdom.
Let us be humble, and we will become wise.
Let us know our weakness,
and it will give us power.”
~ William Ellery Channing ~
As expected, hip joints started to show their weakness as the cabin is getting heavier. I'm currently cheating with a quick fix that may become permanent.
Shortened the thigh parts of the legs, and worked on detailing those: quite happy with the result so far even if using the 3x3 tile up front gives too smooth a result, some kind of technic part might be more adapted there.
Now I think I need to rework the relative proportion of the rest of the legs. Namely the ankle should be shorter while the tibia part could be lengthened.
Again thanks for the support on the previous WIP :)
