…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?

Once they were threatening symbols of paramilitary control, but now Belfast’s murals have new themes,
In recent years, the face of the mural has changed. Community groups have worked tirelessly to remove the gunmen of the gable wall and replace them with messages of hope and achievement.
They commemorate, reflect values,communicate and display aspects of culture and history.
Murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue.
The ones representing peace and tolerance are becoming increasingly popular with school groups.Sts either design or actually paint murals in areas around their schools.
Affect (nom masculin)
PSYCH. État affectif élémentaire, ressenti traduisant une pulsion. ➙ émotion, sentiment.
An awesome and beautiful place, even it was raining cats & dogs on our day there. After that we had to drive a huge detour because our ferry to Skye was cancelled due heavy winds up to 40 knots.
But, whatever weather you will have, this couldn´t affect the beauty and fascination of this land.

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.

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.

The background here looks very much like fall colors and foliage. Although there were some foliage in the scene, the large parts were bare ground and debris. The affect was created by the characteristics of a super telephoto lens.

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.
Photography affects us like a phenomenon in nature, like a flower or a snowflake whose vegetable or earthly origins are an inseparable part of their beauty :-)

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.
"When it came, the affect was different on those with magic in their blood. She remembered still when her elders had scoffed and chided her for coming with warnings of a danger she couldn't describe or give name to. She was too young to be taken seriously then, too inexperienced. If those who's gifts were honed so much stronger than her own, felt no such sense of foreboding, who was she to say otherwise.
Their society was in a golden age at that time. The merger of science and magic was seamless. Looking back now it was beautiful the way the fall had crept in. The same advances that had enabled them to live in harmony, were what ultimately proved their undoing.
Her people were called the Lileae, a race of being descended from creatures who'd gone into hiding from man long ago. They'd only emerged to guide the younger species that shared their home world after they'd gone so sick with disease both mental and physical that it was ravaging San Mora itself. Through bonds that even sensitive men could see, the Lileae were able to connect with humans to heal and cure their afflictions. The stronger elders of her kind in those early days were able to connect to the earth through the nodes spread throughout the hills of San Mora and were able to heal the earth itself.
That was generations before her time, the world she was born to had long forgotten the signs of those diseases as there hadn't been so much as a trace of disease for longer than anyone could remember.
But as with all things... energy had to go somewhere.
She still remembered the first time she felt the foreboding she felt become tangible. The pollen from her flowers had always danced over her skin in a pleasant sensation she'd taken as much for granted as those around her. That night her skin crawled all over, every night going worse until she had to be restrained to prevent her from scratching her flesh raw to make it stop.
Within days the first human succumbed to the disease. She'd been told her screams echoed from her rooms as he'd fallen from the bridge and into the waters below. All she remembered was the sick frenzy of her flowers showering her in that fine sheen of pollen, the way she would have begged for the crawling sensation to come back.
By the time the last of the humans succumbed to the disease, all of the lileae had experienced the agony of their own diseased flowers feeding off of them. As if each loss of human life was a price they'd pay for their arrogance at ignoring the early warnings. For not severing the bonds between man and lileae that had in it's way made both species dependent on each other.
There were no humans left now for the disease to take, but the flowers had the lileae, and the lileae had the pain of the feedings to remind them they were alive in a world that no longer was."

Setophaga americana
Northern Parulas have an odd break in their breeding range. They breed from Florida north to the boreal forest of Canada, but skip parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and some states in the Northeast. The reason for their absence may have to do with habitat loss and increasing air pollution, which affects the growth of moss on trees that they depend on for nesting.

I get a feeling of joy and excitement looking at these orange flowers. Is it just me or is orange known to affect people in certain ways? I asked ChatGPT and felt validated. Orange can make you feel a variety of emotions, including:
Excitement: Orange is a stimulating color that can trigger feelings of enthusiasm and passion.
Happiness: Orange is often described as a bright, happy, and joyful color.
Warmth: Orange is a warm color, associated with the beauty of the setting sun or the refreshing taste of citrus.
Confidence: Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow for a warm, confident, fun hue.
Creativity: Orange increases oxygen to the brain, which stimulates mental activity and creativity.
Wow! The botanical information appears a bit boring after that. Eremaea is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the myrtle family and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. Eremaea pauciflora is a shrub with small leaves and orange flowers at the ends of its branches. The image is a handheld, in-camera focus stack. florabase.dbca.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/14104

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.
