A second slide using an ammonite as my starting point. This time I was aiming for a summery, seaside feel to the image, a contrast to the midwinter reality! (The companion image link in the first comment field)
Sorry that I can't comment properly - I am still struggling with bronchitis, left by the flu that hit me over 2 weeks ago. My energy is still so low.

Mostly very cold here....have bronchitis....bah, humbug
Antiguas Termas Romanas en el miño
Balneario de Lugo, antiguas termas a orillas del miño
Huele a azufre, a cal, a bicarbonato. Al principio, insoportablemente. Pero es el olor de la salud. Aquí, a orillas del río Miño, hay un balneario histórico que cura de reumatismos, ciática, asma, bronquitis, faringitis y enfermedades varias de la piel. Su origen no está claro, aunque el descubrimiento reciente de una sudatio romana en unas estructuras superpuestas con un pavimento de opus signinum lo dataría en el siglo III de nuestra era. Así se deduce también de un pergamino encontrado en 996 en el interior de la catedral lucense.
Ancient Roman Baths in the river minho
Lugo spa, old hot springs on the banks of the minho
It smells like sulfur, lime, bicarbonate. Unbearably at first. But it is the smell of health. Here, on the banks of the river Miño, there is a historic spa that cures rheumatism, sciatica, asthma, bronchitis, pharyngitis and various skin diseases. Its origin is not clear, although the recent discovery of a Roman sudatio in structures superimposed with an opus signinum pavement would date it to the third century AD. This is also deduced from a parchment found in 996 inside the Lugo cathedral.
Let me say a huge thank you, for more than 6 million visits that I receive. But please do not leave one of those big logos, that are flooding in flickr .

Eleven years he is now and since more than six years living with us. My, does time fly!
His age is starting to show a bit. His back and back paws do hurt him from time to time (he is getting painkillers for it), he has bronchitis and his eyes don't see as much as they use to do, but when he is outside he forgets it all and starts behaving like a young one again!
He is such a loyal friend and I hope he will stay with us for a few more years:)
Happy Furry Friday Everyone!
On this International Workers Day, let us remember the millions of workers all over the world, especially in the world's poorest countries, who do the hardest, dirtiest and most dangerous work for the lowest pay. They contribute so much to our daily lives, yet they ask for so little in return, just enough so they can feed their families. Too often, they are invisible; we don't see their blood, sweat and tears. They have my deepest respect, and their hardships will not be forgotten.
For millions of brick workers in Bangladesh, life is incredibly hard. In the 8,000 brick fields, according to the United Nations Development Program, men and women carry loads of bricks on their heads for 8 or more hours a day. Each brick weighs about 2.5 kilos (5.5 lbs), and many workers carry between 10-20 bricks up to 30 kilos per load. For this exhausting and grueling work, they get paid about US$2-3 a day. The kilns used for baking the bricks burn wood and coal, even plastic and tires, spewing toxic pollutants, smoke and ash. Their day long exposure to so much environmental pollutants, smoke, heat and dust without any protective equipment cause many workers to suffer from lung diseases like asthma, bronchitis, silicosis and cancer, as well as skin diseases and injuries due to falling bricks. Debt bondage forces many workers to labor under such hazardous and punishing conditions. Often, entire families with children old enough to work, labor for years, trapped in a spiraling cycle of poverty to pay off their debts to the bosses /moneylenders. It was heart-breaking for me to see the exploitation and suffering of the brick workers, and moved me to tell their story.
“Gulf War veterans are showing accelerated aging patterns resulting in more and earlier chronic medical conditions than the general population of civilians,” says study senior author Kimberly Sullivan, research assistant professor of environmental health.
About 200,000 veterans of the 1991 Gulf War continue to suffer from Gulf War Illness (GWI), a set of symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, and memory impairment caused by sarin chemical warfare agent, pesticides, and pyridostigmine bromide (PB) pills meant to protect soldiers from nerve gas during deployment.
Decades later, these exposures may also be causing higher rates and earlier onset of chronic medical conditions in Gulf War veterans than their non-veteran peers, according to a study coauthored by School of Public Health and School of Medicine researchers.
The study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health as the current issue’s cover story, found Gulf War veterans reported high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, chronic bronchitis, and other chronic conditions at rates normally associated with people about a decade older than them. Veterans who reported being exposed to chemical warfare agents and taking PB pills had especially high rates of heart attack and diabetes.
A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that 1,300 Gulf War veterans currently claim a War Pension for conditions connected to their Service in the Gulf. Yet research suggests that as many as 33,000 UK Gulf War veterans could be living with Gulf War illnesses.

Borage grows all over my garden and allotment after I grew some from seed a few years back (it's a prolific self seeder!). The flowers are sometimes blue, sometimes pink, and sometimes pinky blue - or bluey pink, of course! It's a herb, and the flowers are edible and sweet, and the leaves give a cucumbery taste to salad or pimms - though not too many as they have a small level of a liver-toxin chemical in them.
I grow it in my tea garden as an infusion of the leaves is said to alleviate and heal colds, bronchitis, and respiratory infections, and is generally anti-inflammatory. Plus, it's good for companion planting (where you plant certain things together to aid their growth) as it attracts honeybees constantly, therefore helping them to pollinate whatever you've planted it near.
Finally - it's beautiful, cheerful, and interesting to look at! ;)
Looking back through the files, I found this shot Larry took the night we went to the airport to get Pearl.
I had just taken her out of her crate for the 1st time. She was so small and looked so bewildered and lost.
I was feeling pretty sick at the time too, with a bad case of bronchitis.
I remember wondering about the wisdom of going to the airport to pick up a dog when I could hardly stand up.
I also remember that as soon as I held her in my arms for the first time, it was love at first sight, and getting her would be the best medicine of all!

Hiram Maxim was a brilliant American Inventor who moved to London England and became a British subject. His most famous invention was the Maxim gun the first self loading machine gun, his guns were used by both sides in WW1.
He was a prolific inventor and created such things as the curling tongs, electro magnetic devices and automatic sprinkers systems. He was a bronchitis sufferer and invented a inhaler device for which people accused him of quackery, his reply was "it will be seen that it is a very creditable thing to invent a killing machine, and nothing less than a disgrace to invent an apparatus to prevent human suffering".
The quote for the title of the picture comes from Oppenheimer after the testing of the atomic bomb at the Trinity test site. I think it is apt.
If you follow the link you can watch Oppenheimer interviewed where he makes the statement.

An interesting if not very cheery subject. I wish you all a happy and peaceful weekend.

Sorry it's been hit-or-miss here lately; after my computer got sick, *I* caught bronchitis. Lucky girl, I know. ;) At any rate: Here's the last of the saffron yellow Impala! I am pretty sure it is never really raining when you're looking at this beauty, April or no.
Another early spring wildflower, the Bloodroot.
81/365
Sanguinaria canadensis
Excerpts from "Peterson Field Guides, Eastern/Central Medicinal Plants:"
"The blood-red fresh root was used in minute doses as an appetite stimulant; in larger doses as an arterial sedative. Formerly, the root was used as an ingredient in cough medicines. American Indians used root tea for rheumatism, asthma, bronchitis, lung ailments, laryngitis, fevers; also as an emetic. Root use applied to warts, also used as a dye and as a decorative skin stain....
...Experimentally, the alkaloid sanguinarine has shown antiseptic, anesthetic, and anticancer activity. It is used commercially as a plaque-inhibiting agent in toothpaste, mouthwashes and rinses.
Warning: Toxic. Do not ingest."

Bright Eyes! Aside from me having bronchitis, this evening was just amazing. The set list included songs from basically all of the albums which was very nice. If you're a Bright Eyes fan and haven't listened to their new album "The Peoples Key" you should check it out!
I have been MIA for a few months. I am sorry.
We moved into the new house last November, then I promptly got bronchitis, which knocked me out for four weeks. Since Christmas we have slowly made progress indoors, decorated two bedrooms, bought new furniture, ordered a new garage door, bought a new oven, and finally getting quotes for a large patio! This last two weeks, whilst the weather has been better, we have managed to get into the garden. (Huge garden, 58 trees, and a 1:4 slope in some areas!)
Slowly getting a small area at a time how we want it. This last week I planted climbers around the "stone circle", scattered wildflower seeds, and yesterday we cleared more leaves and moved a table and two chairs down to the bottom under the oak tree, so we can have morning coffee and look at the view. :)

6/23/08 I have bronchitis and the doctor ordered bed rest for the next few days. Thank you all for your good wishes during my recent illness. See you soon, I hope! :0))
this morning I sat on the landing with my camera ready to get the shot of leon hauling the prunings. leon said, "you silly lady, you have no shoes on", and I gave a snappy retort of something like, "nanny nanny nah nah," and took my pictures.
then I told him that I had to go in.
my feet were cold.
this is the removal of the shrubs on a bank next to the house. they had gotten so tall that leon couldn't see the yard.
I lasted one, maybe two days last week, of weakly hauling cuttings before I succumbed to this yucky bronchitis that I still have. hack.
he's almost finished with the job.
some stumps have to be removed and then I'll decide what to plant. low growers.
An unusual angle on a fuchsia flower, that reminds me of a ballerina's tutu at rest ;o)
This has been such a creative year for me - despite a few weeks in December when 'flu and bronchitis struck!
A year I am happy to celebrate this Hogmanay along with everyone in Scotland and world-wide!
There will be street parties all over, but my celebrations will be more muted and alcohol-free due to the continuing 'flu!

Er liebte es immer in der Sonne zu liegen. Wir fanden ihn im Winter 1996 halb verhungert und mit einer schweren Bronchitis. Wir plegten ihn gesund und er lebte bis zu seinem Tot am 24.09.2009 bei uns. Sunny, I miss you so much !

Not been around this past week battling bronchitis, today is my first day up and about. Its cold, gray and raining out..I was hoping for sunshine. The music is perfect for this weather...Enjoy and have a great week ahead xoxoxo ♥
I haven't gotten out and about for almost a week due to a bronchitis-like condition. I am not a good patient when I am mostly housebound. Anyhow, this is a photo I took at Black River Marsh before the Dreaded Crud surfaced. (I am starting to feel human again.)
it's out of focus gaaaaaaaaah
so i actually uploaded a different picture for today, but for some reason flickr didn't want it to stay up for more than a min :o i uploaded it 3 times and it would never stay up D: i'll try again tmr.
but ya, i really liked this accidental shot i took when i was bored, but i didn't realize it was super out of focus :o

Fortunately, I'm healthy. Unfortunately, my son has bronchitis. That's why he wore a mask today. A stylish mask!
He's also on antibiotics, so let's hope he stops coughing soon.
Happy Selfie Sunday, and get well soon to John III . . . !

Lungwort otherwise known as lungwort leaf or by the scientific name – Pulmonaria Officinalis, is an appropriately named plant popularly used to treat a host of respiratory issues including colds, coughs, bronchitis and asthma.
It is a member of the Boraginaceae family and is found growing wild in various parts of the world including Europe, North America, Africa and Asia where it thrives in damp habitats especially near the coast. (And I thought it was just a weed).
Elecampane is a herb and also known as Horse Heal. The root is used to make medicine and it is a plant common in Great Britain, central and southern Europe, and Asia. Elecampane has been long valued as an effective respiratory support herb. Traditional Chinese and Indian Ayurvedic medicine use elecampane for bronchitis and asthma, as did ancient Greeks and Romans. In one flower book it says “A former medical/veterinary herb for men and horses”!
This very little Gulf Fritillary caterpillar was hanging on the end of this tendril in the afternoon sun.
I saw that all of his siblings and friends were under shady leaves.
Normally I won't mess with anything, but I decided to bring this tendril up to the leaf clusters--in case he wanted a little shade... :)
HBBBT!
(Agraulis vanillae nigrior)
(I will probably be off and on for a bit---I came down with allergic bronchitis--and it seems insistent on 'hanging in there'..... :]

First a visit from a snail than a dragonfly! I know… keep sharing the Polaroids. I will but I’m nursing a sinus infection/bronchitis combo so I’m just sitting on the front porch admiring the bugs that keep visiting the yard and waiting for my nasal congestion to clear up. Happy solstice y’all!
Happy Fence Friday, and a happy and blessed Thanksgiving to all my American friends...!
Nasturtium... When I was a small child, we had a patch of this prolific vine in one corner of the backyard; it was regarded as a weed, and around every 6 months, Dad would cut it back, but of course: it didn't take long before it started growing again...!
The predominant colour of the flowers in our backyard - from memory - was Orange, so when I recently found a variegated Nasturtium flower, well: how could I resist...!!!
Although the Nasturtium in our backyard was regarded as a weed, there is more to the plant than meets the eye! Consider the following:
Nasturtium leaves can be used on wounds to help fight infection because the leaves are a strong antiseptic. Also, the seeds can be ground to a paste and painted onto fungal infections of the toe nails, and: the pungent vapours released when eating nasturtium are also wonderful for bronchitis and other infections of the lungs...!
Who would have thought...!
Thank you for your very kind and encouraging comments beneath my photos...! Your support is very greatly appreciated...!

Air pollution like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can cause respiratory diseases, or can make these diseases worse. Respiratory diseases like asthma or chronic bronchitis make it hard for people to breathe.
8" on the ground and falling.....help will arrive later - I am still weak from bronchitis (thanks Steve - I didn't really go outside - this was taken from my garage)
(# 101 March 2)
I love to just sit here in the early evening and listen to the night sounds.
Catch up on comments soon..Just getting over bronchitis...
During the last holidays we had some misadventures (Thomas still has acute bronchitis…) but at least the Christmas day has been simply perfect,with a lot of sun and some wonderful excursions on the Dolomites...of course i brought some Momoko with us,and here is the little series with Alnilam. It was time to photograph this beautiful girl again! :-)
I was sick that day... climbed up to Namche with bronchitis, and was glad to have a day to rest and acclimatize, and really glad to have a roof over my head for the night (and a shower! the first in days, and the last for some time...) At first I was bummed about not feeling healthy enough to explore the town. However, sitting on this spot, drinking tea and hanging with my sherpa friends was a most excellent experience.
Being 5 days into a case of bronchitis, there has been no photo ops for me recently. All I can do when out of bed is sit by the kitchen window and watch as the many birds come and go. As the feeder does not fill itself, I force myself to refill it daily. Yesterday, my wife gave me a piece of bark butter to put out. In a short time, the downy was on the butter. Later, a red- belled female came. This morning a male red bellied liked the butter also. Great activity! As I went out to replenish seeds this morning, I noted this little downy busy on the butter. As I approached, it continued to feed despite my close proximity.. I stopped at 5 ft to observe for a few moments. To my amazement, as I stood there in my bright red Santa shirt, a yellow bellied sapsucker flew in for some butter also. As I stood frozen, the sapsucker ate to his fill and left me thrilled to have been so close to observe. I've got to get some shots of all this.
Joey's not feeling well, he's got bronchitis and is on antibiotics. (Not to mention what they did with the thermometer at the vet.) Poor guy.
I haven't posted for a while as I've been quite sick with what we thought was pneumonia, but turns out to be bronchitis, which is just as bad, just harder to view on x-rays.
Chill Out is a regional LGBTQIA+SB arts and performance weekend with so many parties everywhere it's really quite manic!
At Carnivale, I managed to capture stellar world class performers such as Dolly Diamond and Tash York, DJ Du Jour, Polly Filla, Dean Arcuri, Art Simone (and Nate Byrne), Greg Gould, and the sensational Kate Miller-Heidke (and one of my partners friends got on stage and sung with her!)!
Now, in this social climate, it is the time to shine louder and be prouder. March, yell, protest, activate. We are not going anywhere.
Der gestrige Tag war wohl doch ein bisschen zu viel für mich, Erkältungstechnisch gab es einen Rückschlag.
Ohrenschmerzen, starker Reizhusten und Atemnot haben mir den Schlaf geraubt.
Ohne meinen Tascheninhalator wäre ich im warsten Sinne des Wortes "Atemlos durch die Nacht" gewandelt ...
~From the movie An Affair to Remember
Taken in the rear view mirror of my car... We got a lot of snow and then it got very cold... That's Minnesota for you! ; )
Stay warm & hold on to your warm memories in your heart ♥
Will catch up on comments later ..I have bronchitis and I'm waiting for the doc to call in a perscription... No need to comment ..Just experimenting; )
i've been really sick this past week... started with coughing, fever, then developed into the nasty flu and bronchitis... my cousin took me to the doctor's office for my x-ray today and when we got home, she surprised me with these tokidoki cactus hello kitty and bastardino plushes!!! thank you soooo much, cous!! *muuuah kiss-kiss* ;D ;)))
just dropping by to say hi for now... hope everyone is well, healthy and enjoying a lovely week! ^-^/ xoxo ^^

One of my last purchases of 2018 (Hot to the Touch Bellamy Blue) and my first arrival 2019 (Amplified Bellamy Blue)! 💕
Due to a heavy bronchitis this is my first out-of-bed activity since it had knocked me out about 1 week ago... and now I feel knocked out again. 😁
The Amplified Bellamy Blue was quiet a spontaneous purchase. I originally did not like his lips and outfit so much and was not sure about his hair. But after removing his original "lipstick" and putting on Nigel North's "Come live with me"-outfit I like him nearly as much as I like my Hot To The Touch Bellamy!
I am also playing a TAG game with this picture, I was tagged by dear Simone Laurenta, vielen Dank, meine Liebe! 😊😀😍
The first doll of the year, as I have already written, my Amplified Bellamy Blue (I am not too lazy to take a new picture but don’t feel fit enough yet). 😍😍
