…before you fall.
Bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million adult Americans, or about 2.6% of the U.S. population age 18 and older every year. (National Institute of Mental Health). The median age of onset for bipolar disorder is 25 years (National Institute of Mental Health), although the illness can start in early childhood or as late as the 40's and 50's. Bipolar disorder results in 9.2 years reduction in expected life span, and as many as one in five patients with bipolar disorder completes suicide. (National Institute of Mental Health). Please, please, please, educate yourself. If you think you, or someone you know, may be suffering from bipolar disorder, please look at the sites below. This means a lot to me and I will everyone to check these sites out.
Again, I cannot stress enough how important this is to me, so please, follow the links.
Anyway, I am back! And by back, I mean you won’t be able to get rid of me! Starting next Monday I will be uploading very often, I’m talking about every other day at the least. Tomorrow is my last day of school, the last day for exams, and with all of my free time this summer, I plan to fill up my empty 365!
I’m so excited! This summer will be awesome, I get to go to so many places, and take my camera with me. So, I’m really looking forward to the two months off I have from school; which, like always, has kept me away from flickr for the past few weeks.
I wanted to apologize to those who have mailed me or marked me as a contact recently, I have been swamped with studying for exams and I haven’t had time to look through anything on flickr. So, you can expect a reply within a few days!
I also wanted to thank all of you for the comments and favourites I received for my previous photo. That was my first explore #1, and I am very honoured!
Thank you bunches!
Oh, and facebook has filled my free time. Yes, I got one. Not so sure I’m liking the no privacy bit of it (parents constantly checking it), but I like chatting with my friends. I’m not sure yet if I’ll post a link for it on here or not, but if you want to add me, flickr mail me with your address and name etc.
So, what are you all doing for summer? Going anywhere fun?

« L’affection qu’on nous porte explique le neuf dixièmes du bonheur vrai et durable que nous ressentons dans nos vies. »
« L’amitié, comme la philosophie et l’art, est parfaitement inutile. Elle n’a aucune valeur de survie; mais elle compte parmi ces rares choses qui donnent de la valeur à notre survie. »

Most face sliding door moments at some stage in their lives! Negligible moments that will have a negative or positive affect!
Upon reflection, my last sliding door moment was in April 2019.
Nothing should affect the beauty created by nature ... it is our duty to preserve and respect it!

Dipper - Cinclus Cinclus
aka Water Ouzel
Double Click to view
Dippers are members of the genus Cinclus in the bird family Cinclidae, named for their bobbing or dipping movements. They are unique among passerines for their ability to dive and swim underwater.
They have a characteristic bobbing motion when perched beside the water, giving them their name. While under water, they are covered by a thin, silvery film of air, due to small bubbles being trapped on the surface of the plumage.
Dippers are found in suitable freshwater habitats in the highlands of the Americas, Europe and Asia. In Africa they are only found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They inhabit the banks of fast-moving upland rivers with cold, clear waters, though, outside the breeding season, they may visit lake shores and sea coasts.
The high haemoglobin concentration in their blood gives them a capacity to store oxygen greater than that of other birds, allowing them to remain underwater for thirty seconds or more, whilst their basal metabolic rate is approximately one-third slower than typical terrestrial passerines of similar mass. One small population wintering at a hot spring in Suntar-Khayata Mountains of Siberia feeds underwater when air temperatures drop below −55 °C (−67 °F).
Dippers are completely dependent on fast-flowing rivers with clear water, accessible food and secure nest-sites. They may be threatened by anything that affects these needs such as water pollution, acidification and turbidity caused by erosion. River regulation through the creation of dams and reservoirs, as well as channelization, can degrade and destroy dipper habitat.
Dippers are also sometimes hunted or otherwise persecuted by humans for various reasons. The Cyprus race of the white-throated dipper is extinct. In the Atlas Mountains dippers are claimed to have aphrodisiacal properties. In parts of Scotland and Germany, until the beginning of the 20th century, bounties were paid for killing dippers because of a misguided perception that they were detrimental to fish stocks through predation on the eggs and fry of salmonids.

I haven’t been on line for a while, depression came back to bite me in the bum over winter, the cold weather usually does affect my mental health. This year, even more so, we discovered the new house has quite a bad issue with damp, and some of the interior walls become wet when it’s raining, which has caused mould to grow. We left the previous house due to damp and having a landlord who wouldn’t deal with the situation. Now, the damp here is much worse, and again we have a letting agent who don’t seem to be in a hurry to resolve it. Antonio is allergic to damp and mould also, luckily it doesn’t seem to be in his bedroom which is a blessing, but it’s not great. We’ve had builders round to survey the house and now awaiting for them to come and do the repairs that are causing the walls to get wet, but their hands are tied until the letting agent gives the go ahead. 😳
Apologies for not responding to all my recent notifications, I just haven’t felt up to online interaction. Trying to keep optimistic and hoping that the horrid weather will soon get better as it’s also much too freezing cold for me to go out shooting, which is always something that helps my mental health. Roll on summer. Lots of love and best wishes for 2023.
‘Brain fog’ is a re-edit taken in the Lake District in October, 2021. Have a wonderful weekend, all. ❤️😍

I have turned off comments because try as we might - tethering phones - hotspots mobile data etc etc it has still taken me 45 minutes to comment on three photos in the order they came to my mail so I am giving in. We have come away to our caravan near Skegness because I am still unwell. I have been told there are internet cafés etc but that idea does not appeal at all so I shall hopefully catch up about Tuesday or Wednesday,,I do thank you all so much for your good wishes but I truly truly absolutely hate the amount of PVCs I am now getting ( you may need to google that If you wonder what they are ) mine are so bad they leave me utterly depleted with them being 1 in 4 and sometimes even 1 in 2 for up to two hours once they start and with a slow heart rate of 30/31 which makes me feel really feint at times and can be very awkward depending if I am nowhere close to our car.
The most likely cause is stress and/ or fatigue…I already had Nuclear stress gated heart scans a couple of years ago and anything that could sort of ‘cure’ these horrible things carries its own risk of heart attack and the PVCs themselves at the rate I get them is not known for causing a Myopathy. Funnily enough when I am actually taking a photo- particularly using manual vintage lenses I completely become one with the camera ( eventually if my dogs lose interest) and only afterwards do I feel the exhaustion and the PVCs kick in and can last minutes or hours..no pattern. Like I said more likely overdoing things but it is photography that drives me and the photography I see on Flickr that keeps me inspired….I am not after pity if you know what I mean. Just understanding but until you ever get this crappy thing you won’t really understand just how bad it can affect you and nothing helps it…the stuff that possibly could I cannot take because of my normally naturally low heart rate.
Does fog affect fishing? That is a good question and the answer is yes, and not always in a bad way. Sometimes, foggy weather can give you some of the best fishing conditions that you can find. When you fish in foggy weather, there are things that you need to know such as what types of bait and lures you should use as well as the type of weather, like is it warm or cold outside.
Elles sont toutes les 2 grandes ouvertes par souci d'efficacité !

My nostrils are both wide open for efficiency!
Indeed, the left nostril shares information with the left hemisphere of the brain and the right nostril does the same with the right hemisphere.
The right is about emotions and spatial attention, the left hemisphere is about language.
The right hemisphere deals with the affective aspect of smell and the left hemisphere identifies them

An obscure flickr post I created back in 2017 about Seasonal Affective Disorder has been trending near the top of my activity feed for the past couple of weeks. I can only imagine people are searching that phrase and turning up my photo. A sure sign that the darkening phase in the northern hemisphere is taking a toll on our collective mental health. For me, this time of year brings about yet another dichotomy in my life. I'm not keen on the reduction in the hours of daylight. Yet the abrupt transformation of the landscape in the past couple of weeks is truly astounding. It's not just the feeling of omnipresent darkness, but the utter stripping away of the foliage and the resulting desaturation of the landscape that fascinates me. Recent snow has heightened the sensation of existing within a monochromatic world that, if appearance is all that matters, is devoid of even a hint of joy. Yet within that construct I find wonder. I truly revel in the feeling that familiar places look completely different, and at times even inhospitable. Such was the case as I contemplated this lone tree, buffeted by wintry winds beneath an eerie layer of striated clouds ahead of a massive cold front. A moment of cheer on a very bleak November afternoon.

Q: How does weather affect fall colors?
A: Astronomical fall began on Sept. 22.
Climatologists consider fall as the months of September, October and November. The fall season is also associated with pumpkin patches, fresh apples and beautiful foliage.
Leaves are green in the summer because they contain chlorophyll, which reflects green light more than other colors. Other colors are absorbed by chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
During autumn, the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves as the leaves stop their food-making process, and yellow and orange colors appear. These colors have been in the leaves all along but we can’t see them in the summer because of the chlorophyll.
The color orange comes from carotene, and the yellows from xanthophyll. The bright red and purple colors come from anthocyanin pigments, which are made from leftover glucose trapped within the leaves of some trees, such as maples.
Brilliant fall colors with bright red and purple colors require conditions in which leaves can make a lot of anthocyanin pigments. The brilliance of a fall color season is a function of the weather.
Sunny days and cool nights are the key weather ingredient for brilliant fall colors. The best weather conditions are bright sunny days and cool, but not frosty, nights.
A drab autumn has lots of cloudy days and warm nights. Leaves begin to turn before we have any frosts. An early frost speeds up the fall of the leaves and brings a quick end to the fall color. A few hard frosts can cause the leaves to wither and fall from the tree without changing color.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for your visits.
Walking around gardens is a way to better the moment. When not feeling our best “Flowers Affect Our Mood” The shapes, colors and fragrances are the reward we receive when we decide to indulge ourselves. Our lives have grown far to busy it seems. Catch your breath enjoy the beauty and share your photos here on Flickr, You’ll be thanked I’m sure.

"Rough sleeping" affects more then just the homeless- The effects ripple through society.
Security companies are increasingly being asked to move on rough sleepers from commercial property, or to recommend measures that can assist property owners in combating this growing problem.
The owners of a commercial property, want their business to be safe from crime and damage.
While it can be uncomfortable to come across people sleeping rough, it is critical to ensure the safety of these individuals, staff and property.
Early morning, Taunton, Somerset,UK.
Moving these guys "on" without providing somewhere safe for them to go is just shuffling the problem from one shop to the next.
I don't know the solution - - but our current policy obviously isn't working.

About this weed
This perennial grass was originally introduced from tropical Africa and the Middle East but is now widespread in disturbed areas on the Swan Coastal Plain and as far north as Geraldton. It was originally used for ornamental purposes and sand binding. Is declared a noxious weed in New South Wales and Queensland. It out competes native plants and increases fuel loads in summer and autumn.
Description
This tufted, perennial appears in spring and actively grows through till the end of summer. Water availability (particularly wetter summers) affects seed production and may favour the spread of seed. Seed set can occur without fertilisation. Seedlings readily establish in wetter years and then become drought tolerant in drier years, allowing it to maintain dominance over other grasses.
Impact on Bushland
Fountain Grass readily out-competes native plants and can alter nutrient cycling and increase fire fuel loads. It has a high phenotypic plasticity – Phenotypic plasticity refers to some of the changes in an organism’s behavior, morphology and physiology in response to a unique environment (source en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenotypic_plasticity). It recovers well from defoliation by rapidly reshooting and flowering.

I'm posting my comment on this photo a day after because I didn't want to break the magic of the pic , sadly this is the last time Holly will swim in this lake that was built to cover a dump ,( just found that out )
Since I took this pic the level of the water as lower a full 2 feet , it will soon become a mosquito infected swamp , I am shock to see the level of pollution I have discovered in my forest.
That evolution don't affect us all as human bean is sad , I really wish I could go back in time and see Canada just 500 years ago :o(

I will not be joining the upcoming protest because:
- as of today it only affects English Flickr, the rest don't support it (with a few exceptions like Edinei who is doing fantastic art)
- most Americans, which are the majority, use iphones which is compatible with the new Flickr and they LIKE it.. how can you protest that!!??
- apparently there is a way out of Beta with this hack: www.flickr.com/photos/pinoyphotog/13848032285/
-and one can switch languages and get out of Beta as well ( which is where I am at)
No, I don't like what Yahoo/ Flickr is doing, not giving us a choice..but unfortunately I feel the numbers are not there ( 92 million users, we could not even get 10000 to sign the petition)..we would need at least 50% of all Flickr users to protest and that did not happen and will not happen... lets be realistic and not waste time, life is short..we tried which is what counts at the end..like they say it is not the end it is the journey..it was a great journey, some fantastic spirit and art came out of it, I thank everyone who supported it, you are the best..but it is time to move on..for me this ship has sailed.
A torrential rain period is about over now in Suriname. Because of this, the country had to open the floodgates of its main reservoir called Afobaka Dam that produces nearly all the electricity of the country. But opening the floodgates affect the level of the river and a lot of the neighboring constructions such as the Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Suriname.
Een periode van hevige regenval is nu zo goed als voorbij in Suriname. Hierdoor moest het land de sluizen openen van zijn belangrijkste stuwmeer, de Afobaka-dam, dat bijna alle elektriciteit van het land produceert. Maar het openen van de sluizen heeft invloed op het niveau van de rivier en veel van de aangrenzende constructies, zoals het Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Suriname.
Um período de chuvas torrenciais está quase acabando no Suriname. Por causa disso, o país teve que abrir as comportas de seu reservatório principal, denominado Barragem de Afobaka, que produz quase toda a eletricidade do país. Mas a abertura das comportas afeta o nível do rio e muitas das construções vizinhas, como o Bergendal Resort em Brokopondo, Suriname.
Un período de lluvias torrenciales está a punto de terminar en Surinam. Debido a esto, el país tuvo que abrir las compuertas de su principal embalse llamado Presa Afobaka que produce casi toda la electricidad del país. Pero la apertura de las compuertas afecta el nivel del río y muchas de las construcciones vecinas, como el Bergendal Resort en Brokopondo, Surinam.
In Suriname sta per terminare un periodo di piogge torrenziali. Per questo motivo, il paese ha dovuto aprire le cateratte del suo bacino principale chiamato Afobaka Dam, che produce quasi tutta l'elettricità del paese. Ma l'apertura delle chiuse influisce sul livello del fiume e su molte delle costruzioni vicine come il Bergendal Resort a Brokopondo, in Suriname.
Une période de pluie torrentielle est sur le point de se terminer au Suriname. Pour cette raison, le pays a dû ouvrir les vannes de son principal réservoir appelé le barrage d'Afobaka qui produit la quasi-totalité de l'électricité du pays. Mais l'ouverture des vannes affecte le niveau de la rivière et de nombreuses constructions voisines telles que le Bergendal Resort à Brokopondo, au Suriname.
Eine sintflutartige Regenzeit ist in Surinam nun vorbei. Aus diesem Grund musste das Land die Schleusen seines Hauptreservoirs namens Afobaka Dam öffnen, das fast den gesamten Strom des Landes produziert. Aber das Öffnen der Schleusen beeinflusst den Pegel des Flusses und viele benachbarte Bauwerke wie das Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Surinam.
فترة من الأمطار الغزيرة على وشك الانتهاء في سورينام. وبسبب هذا، اضطرت البلاد إلى فتح بوابات الفيضان في خزانها الرئيسي المسمى سد أفوباكا الذي ينتج كل الكهرباء تقريبا في البلاد. ولكن فتح بوابات الفيضان يؤثر على مستوى النهر والعديد من المباني المجاورة، مثل منتجع بيرغندال في بروكوبوندو، سورينام.
Isolation affects all of us and sometimes we have to go to a quiet place to lift our spirits. This bronze statue of “Hot Dog” Frank Aftosmes in the Peace Garden of Lebanon Valley College in Annville, PA indicates that we are still in danger with COVID-19. Frank Aftosmes, known as Hot Dog Frank, was a local businessman in Annville and a strong supporter of LVC Athletics, especially men’s basketball. The college is planning in Fall to begin their classes, if it's permitted and safe.

Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!
Two NYC street performers having a chat. I'm pretty sure she had a tooth ache, she kept touching the side of her face as they talked or maybe the costume was irritating her face.
There were a lot of them in Times Square, almost a crowd of them but as I looked through the sea of the mickey mouse invasion I saw her and I just loved her face, she was very expressive with great affect as she talked to her friend.
