Another shot of Pier 21. It's the only fence shot I could find..;)
Had to go back to the Dermatologist, yesterday and today to get more skin cancer removed. I look like a train wreck. I'm starting to feel like one of those remolded house shows you see on TV. Fix this fix that. You almost feel like saying stop cutting on me and set me adrift.
i have been away to take care of my flower like sister whose condition is stated in title. she is a genius n by profession is a dermatologist. suffering depression. undergone 6 ECTs... today i got back after two months taking care n bringing her normal, need prayers for her.

I followed this guy around taking shots hoping he would fly..;) But, he never did. So, now I have all these photos of a bird walking around the beach
I wanted to go to Austin again this morning to see if I couldn't get some better shots but this fog has been hanging around for a couple of days, so I cancelled that. I may try again Monday morning as I have to go into Austin anyway to the Dermatologist. When you get old, all that fun in the sun, comes back to haunt you..:(
..HFF!!
I had to go into Austin yesterday for a surgery to remove some skin cancer off of my nose. They used the "Moor's" system and it took about 3 hours. Luckily I went to a Dermatologist so my face won't look too bad. There isn't much pain except, ironically, in the spots where they stuck me the needles to kill the pain..:)
I saw this place the other day when I went to Austin to pick up my old lens. Nikon was able to fix the damaged lens but the camera didn't make it. Looking back, I was foolish to let the camera store send it to Nikon, I could have sent it and saved myself some money. Just wasn't thinking that day.

It reminds me of a dermatologist's office we were in where ALL the large pictures on the wall were hanging crookedly. "Leave!" I said. "You'll get a crooked incision in a place that looks like this!" But he didn't (leave) and he did (get a crooked incision).......

I am a real-life Aesthetician and am currently working on getting accepted into medical school in the hopes of becoming a Dermatologist someday. So, needless to say, skincare is my passion!
Our skin tells us so much about our health; like if we're getting enough hydration, sleep, too much or too little sun, etc. It can even tell us about our intolerances and gut health! I know a lot of people forget about their skin, thinking it's just "there" and that people who obsess about their skin are superficial, but remember... your skin is the biggest organ of your body and is the first line of defense to bacteria, viruses, and toxins!
So, if you're having skin issues, I am your girl! I will analyze your skin through a series of questions, or pictures (if you feel comfortable with that) and provide care recommendations. I have extensive knowledge of over 20 product lines including, Obagi, Farmacy, Elemis, Byroe, The Ordinary, Glow Recipe and so many more!
Book a consultation with me and let me guide you onto the path of beautiful and radiant skin! My IW Name: BijouNoirr
*If you are under the care of a dermatologist for an auto-immune skin disorder like psoriasis, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, etc. I cannot provide care recommendations as that is above my knowledge and qualification! Come back and see me in 6 years or so, :) .*

I went to the Dermatologist today and they cut out some skin cancer on my arm. Seem like the body just waits until we get old to get revenge for the fun we had in our youth.
I picked up some more plants, Broom Plant, and again the people told me the deer don't like it. Just to be safe, I checked the Internet and the Internet said they were deer resistant. I'm here to tell you, the deer think they taste just fine. So, save your money
Taken from Surfer's End at Sachuest Beach (a.k.a. Second Beach) in Middletown, Rhode Island. I spent many a joy- (and sunburn-) filled summer's day here in my youth, much to the regret of my current dermatologist (though my mom did her best to keep me coated with the white stuff). Taken on a pretty calm morning before work and an incoming storm. Light use of the gold-n-blue polarizer did a nice job of pulling out said colors in the water and rocks, particularly below the high tide mark. I find this filter works best (for me) on dull, cloudy days like this, and particularly for black-and-white. Though located on a prominent perch, this relatively modest home is a far cry from Taylor Swift's $17,000,000 mansion in nearby Watch Hill (everything's nearby in RI).

My spouse and I were in awe of the "rainbow bird," a Painted Bunting, male during our first birding excursion at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, National Audubon Society, Naples, Florida, USA. We also photographed the female of this species and many other birds and animals that we'd never encountered in the wild. Despite having plenty of bug spray and appropriate attire, the deer flies were relentless, and we ended up with bites all over us. We had to go to our dermatologist for some special ointment and still, it took two weeks to clear them all up. Our experience there was nevertheless worth every itchy bite!
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” – Albert Camus
Winkworth Arboretum, near Hascombe in Surrey, is always a lovely place to visit – but in autumn it’s absolutely spectacular.
Its creator, Dr Wilfrid Fox, wanted to ‘use plants to paint a picture’. So he spent more than 20 years doing just that, are today we’re all the beneficiaries of his vision.
Winkworth hosts more than 1,000 species of tree and shrub, and covers some 95 acres (38 hectares). Wanting to preserve his work for future generations, Dr Fox, a leading dermatologist, donated his arboretum to the National Trust in 1952, ten years before he died.

I am feeling a little under the weather--and with some serious itching I can't get taken care of by a dermatologist until tomorrow. (I've had an itchy rash since February--and they say we don't have wait lines for medical care as an excuse not to offer Universal Health Coverage . . . bullshit, too). I'll start catching up shortly, this evening or in the morning. (Sorry for the touch of political ranting . . .)
Thanks for Viewing.
Let's face the facts; your flesh is going to be eaten by bugs when you go hiking in the Olympic National Park. This is a picture of my bad mosquito bites collection two days into a five day hike in the park. Here are a few tips to help you cope with the mosquitoes.
1.Consider the hundreds of mosquito bites over your arms, leg, face, and neck the price of admission. You will never win the fight against them completely. A positive attitude goes a long way.
2.Whatever you do, do not ever scratch mosquito bites, not even once! Scratching the bites causes cortisol to be released which increases the itching and inflammation.
3.Forget about "natural repellents" nothing works except for DEET. Nothing. Scientifically they have all been disproved. Yes, DEET melts some plastics (maybe even your sleeping bag) and is toxic but you might as well throw your money away if you think citronella, skin so soft, raw garlic, etc. will make a difference. They wont and even DEET isn't 100% effective.
4.Get a head net that goes over a wide-brimmed hat, long sleeve shirt, pants and gloves. That is the only way you are going to enjoy yourself. Carry a tiny bottle of 100% deet and apply one drop at a time. Careful at night, that stuff can and will melt nylon sleeping bags!
5.If you (or your partner) does give into temptation and start itching the bites then you will wish you brought along some hydrocortisone or equivalent anti-inflamatory topical treatment. Personally, I go to the dermatologist and get the stuff that is so strong you aren't supposed to use it for more than a few days at a time for risk of nasty side effects. It is called Aclovate®. Dabbing a spot of that cream wherever you see red gives relief within a minute or two. Heavenly lovely priceless temporary relief.
6.The bloodsuckers are attracted to movement so all your flailing around will only make matters worse.
7.Try to camp in an area where there might be a breeze.
8.Winter camping rocks, take it up if you don't fancy being a blood donor
9.I just picked up the Buzz Off brand clothing and will report back here on its effectiveness.
10A bandanna is priceless for continuously beating them off you while you stop for a break. Yes, the movement attracts them but if you are in a swarm and want to stop for a break this is the only way to keep from being eaten alive. The bandanna is also indispensable when filtering water- get your hiking buddy to beat yourself and themselves while you sit defenseless for 5 minutes pumping a few liters of water.
11Learn to accept them with humor. If you begin to despise the mosquito you will go mad and your trip will end early.

Update for all you young people going to tanning booths:
You'll never have a tan better than this one. It was perfect. Dream on. And now, my dermatologist has a blast and charges me a fortune to remove a near constant stream of pre-cancerous moles created by this kind of behavior. It's painful kids and it leaves scars.
So the last couple of days have been recovery days for me since my traumatic experience at the dermatologist's office, not to mention the chest congestion I am still getting over. I'm still kind of tender around the eyes, but I'm healing. My husband says I look like I have prison tattoos of tears coming down my cheeks. Yeah, very funny, I said. I told him it looks like he beat me up and he'll probably get dirty looks from people in public. It's covered here with my hair, but that's just the consequences of getting those sun spots removed, a couple of weeks of spots on my face. I'll have to break out my biggest sunglasses to hide behind tomorrow because we are going to a 4th of July party.
Here I am sitting in the Goodwill parking lot.
I have never actually been in the Goodwill to look for clothes, but I didn't want to pay an outrageous amount for a black skirt. I still couldn't decide if I liked any of them and didn't end up getting anything.
My day was o.k. Jessica and I went went shopping for my CHA stuff and that was good to visit with her, but I continued looking and shopping 3 hours after I left her. All in all, went to the mall, Joseph Beth, Target, Lowes, Starbucks, Shoe Carnival, Marshalls, and Goodwill. I became worn out.
I had crappy disappointing coffee at Starbucks and loneliness started rearing it's ugly head. I think this picture kinda displays that. I kinda get tired of always being alone (not in a relationship).
Someone made a statement to my friend about me this weekend, saying, "She's fun and unique, why doesn't she have a boyfriend?" This is the story of my life.
Also, my complexion really sucks. I'm going to have to break down and go to the dermatologist.
Matt is a friend of my nephew who as a Dermatologist doesn't have much time to care for potted plants. But he likes to have orchids around his apartment. So when an orchid has outlived its usual life, he has passed on to me a few to have and to rebloom.

Our paths may be different, but our God is the same.
After visiting the Shipshewana region of Northern Indiana over the past few days, my respect for the Amish/Mennonite communities continues to grow. With the flea markets, craft stores, restaurants and other touristy destinations brimming with those who they were designed for, just a block or two away in every direction were others hard at work.
With my traditional cup of coffee and camera in hand, I headed out from our hotel on our last day there at 6:30 in the morning. Now driving the rural roads of LaGrange County, very few people were in sight. Almost immediately I noticed an Amish lady hanging cloths on a clothesline…at 6:30am…meaning she had already hand washed them this same morning. I laughed at the conversations the Mrs. and I have had over the years just to get my clothes off the floor and into the hamper and who was going to fold what. The barns were busy with milking, stall maintenance and feeding…the morning chores that needed to be completed before the afternoon chores could begin.
The Amish have a deep seeded believe that photos in which they can be recognized violate their Biblical principals. Even though I had the equipment to capture a forehead blemish that a dermatologist could accurately evaluate, I respect that belief. As stated hundreds of times, I do not enjoy taking photos of people. With the Amish it is different. My personal amazement and curiosity aside, this desire to capture is based in respect for their choosing a more difficult path, to do without what I can not.
Although shot thru a fence, this shot is a personal favorite as I had never seen a six horse team plow a field before. The power of the horses was evident in the ease in which they seemed to just be out for an evening stroll. While editing, keeping this shot in color just felt wrong…actually, they all did.
Sometimes color distracts from the subject, just like things often distract us from what is, or should be most important.
If you have to go to a dermatologist's office for help, you may spend quite a bit of time waiting as your "sample" undergoes a biopsy. Mine took two hours and tested positive. Here are sketches of two others waiting for results out in the doctor's waiting room.
You'd hope that a diagnosis of cancer would be given in a loving and empathetic way. You need time to digest and process the diagnosis, you need time to ask questions, cry, get angry...
My diagnosis came in a letter. A like "oh, by the way, the legion we'd told you was perfectly fine and just dry skin is actually cancer. We need to see you again. An appointment is on it's way".
That was it.
I'm no stranger to cancer, sadly. I've had it twice and kicked its ass. But, this time it has really affected me. I was told by two dermatologists that there was nothing wrong...it was all in my head...blah, blah, blah.
I'm not being dramatic, but I do feel I need your support right now. I haven't told anyone, but I feel I can tell you.
This time, I'm scared. Please sit with me.
After capturing UP 3065 at Pioneer Crossing in American Fork, I hiked back to Ruby Ray, my RAV4 and drove north lickety-split on I-15. As I crossed Point of the Mountain, I contemplated where to grab one more image. I decided the Murray area would work, particularly the 39th South bridge, which happens to be 60+ years old with no chain link fence to complicate a shot.
UP 2608 was idling under the bridge, leading the Ogden - Helper manifest making a setout at Roper Yard. More than half an hour later, the big T-4 GE finally departed, meeting UP 3065 waiting for him at Midvale. All the while, it was more than 90 degrees outside and I was standing in searing sunlight (against my dermatologist's orders). I nearly gave up and went home.
Finally, my train showed up. I was all set up for a nice elevated view, when once again, a UTA FrontRunner roared into my viewfinder. This encounter was less stressful than the previous, as the UTA track flips to the north side of the UP track via the South Jordan Flyover. The shot worked out. The icing on the cake was UTA's 15th Anniversary FrontRunner unit, shoving the train south toward the next stop at Murray Central station.

Thanks everyone for checking on Isaiah. He is doing so much better and the infection is almost completely healed. We see a pediatric dermatologist at UNC tomorrow and we will find out what happens next.
Thanks again! You all are so awesome! I appreciate you all.

Winkworth Arboretum exhibits large collections of azalea, rhododendron, and holly on slopes leading down to landscaped garden lakes. Gertrude Jekyll explored the woods in the early 20th century. The exotic trees were planted from 1938 by Wilfrid Fox.
Wilfrid Fox (1875–May 22, 1962[1]) was a dermatologist in the United Kingdom.[2] He practised at St George's Hospital, London.
He became passionately interested in the environment.[citation needed] He founded the Roads Beautifying Association in 1928. wikipedia
He lived at Winkworth Farm, Busbridge, Surrey. In 1937, he acquired part of the adjoining Thorncombe Estate, and proceeded to create an arboretum.[citation needed]
In 1948, he was awarded the highest honour of the Royal Horticultural Society, the Victoria Medal of Honour. He gave part of the arboretum to the National Trust in 1952, and the trust later acquired more of the land. This is now open to the public as Winkworth Arboretum.[
I've been tagged numerous times, so here are ten facts about myself.
1. I have the attention span of a five year old
2. I bite my nails (unless I'm not stressed, or am wearing nail polish)
3. My favorite stores are Sephora, Pacsun, and H&M
4. My favorite song right now is the number one hit in Germany (Mr. Saxobeat by Alexandra Stan)
5. I'm very jet lagged, which is why I'm writing this at 7 am
6. Today I'm going to the dermatologist because of this weird thing on my arm, and because I think I have a sun/sweat allergy
7. I'd rather live in Europe than America
8. I still haven't unpacked from my trip, even though I got back three days ago
9. I love nail polish
10. I'm obsessed with the red lipstick look, although I can't pull it off

I had a better plan for today's photo. But I'm still not feeling that well and I didn't have the energy to do it. So this bowl of oranges will have to do...
There is no significance between a bowl of oranges and day 100. I wish I could say there were 100 oranges in this bowl, but then I'd be lying :-P
What I've learned so far after 100 days of 365ing:
- Getting the focus just the way you want it is the most challenging (and frustrating) thing about self portraiture.
- I have not yet made ammends with my nose and i doubt I ever will (it's my least favorite body part of mine. I've always been bitter about the only one inheriting my mom's nose)
- Photoshop is my best friend. My sister once told me, "who needs a dermatologist when you have photoshop?" I second that.
- I've become paranoid that some people may think I'm a narcissist. (I promise you, I am not!)
- I am much more comfortable in front of the camera now and do not shrink and hide like I used to when someone wants to take a picture of me.
- Photos always look a lot darker and duller on Flickr compared to what they look like in Photoshop.
- Doing this can be draining but it makes my love for photography grow more and more each day.
A Tri-colored Heron perched on an old tree lodged in the mud in a shallow flat just off of Horsepen Bayou. Feel free to read the update if you are interested in what has been going on.
Just wanted to update everyone about what has gone on and how Georgia and I are getting along. Georgia is making good progress but faces more days in therapy to recover her strength and confidence from the fall. Even though the broken ribs are a problem, she suffered other injuries in the fall and a few muscle strains along with very painful knee. She was able to make it home to her own bed last night and is so happy to be home. She asked me to thank everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, she can recover her balance and strength very quickly.
Now for the second part to the puzzle and one which was thought to be very minor at the time. I noticed a small spot on my nose that didn’t seem normal and it seemed to be growing quite rapidly. A visit to a dermatologist confirmed that it was a basal cell carcinoma and needed to be taken care of. We had scheduled the surgery prior to Georgia’s fall, and I was urged to have the surgery even though Georgia was in rehab. My granddaughter was kind enough to drive me to the surgery and we proceeded with what should have been routine surgery on a spot about the size of a pencil eraser on the tip of my nose. They remove the mass and then take samples to make sure that they have removed all of the cancerous cells. No problem and quite routine….EXCEPT….in my case. After two additional trips to the chair, they finally determined that they had removed all of the cancerous tissue. When the surgeon handed me the mirror, she must have noticed the shocked look on my face when I saw the gaping hole left in my nose. The hole was roughly 18mm in diameter and about 2 to 3 mm deep. Really shocking!!!!! Some major reconstructive surgery would be required on the nose and she proceeded to make the necessary repairs. Not sure why anyone would go through that much pain just to change the shape of their face. OUCH!!!!! Too many needles involved for me.
I wanted to look more like Tom Cruise afterward but have to admit that I look more like the chipmunk Dale from the Disney cartoon with cheeks filled full of nuts. The swelling is going away and the bruising should disappear as well. It will just take time and am not sure when I’ll be able to press the camera up to a very sensitive nose.
Even though I am completely covered when I go out now on sunny days, the dermatologist stated that the cancer comes from when I was young and got burned to a crisp on the farm as a youngster. I want to urge everyone to see a dermatologist if you see any type of anomaly on your skin and get it take care of quickly. The cancer was very involved under the skin and was the reason that so much tissue had to be removed.
I’ll not be making any comments for a while but want to get back here a soon as possible, but we have to wait and see what Georgia’s schedule will look like. I am in very little pain and will just need time to heal properly. Want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that it is a prosperous one. Have a wonderful week.

Heyo how ye been yall?
So yo this is sort of a massively personal thing but also an idea that applies on a bigger scale as well I think; either way if it helps even one person it'll be worth the whole lot of ye knowing I sleep with socks on my hands lol
So for about eight years now I've basically been scratching my own face & shoulder & arm skin until it bled & came off, which sounds insane I'm totally aware (and feels totally insane believe me). And it may sound dumb but until about a week ago I had no idea that it was an actual condition with an actual name that other people had (it's technical name is Excoriation disorder or Dermatillomania; yall can google it). For years I thought waking up every day to a face like a meth addict's was my own fault even though I knew 99% of the time I couldn't control it or didn't even realize I was scratching, it's straight up Black Swan bullshit honest to god. Anyhow if any of you guys think you may have anything similar I STRONGLY urge you to look it up/see a doctor/psychologist/dermatologist etc. It's only been a week of not feeling psycho and my skin looks almost like actual skin again (I mean I have to wear socks on my hands at night & while driving & reading and whatever which obviously doesn't make me feel completely sane but it's way way way better than the alternative). Even though it's not a super uncommon disorder it isn't very well known, so any light I can shed on it I thought might be helpful you know.
Idk. I've just realized that we tend to force a lot of things that don't need forcing and end up sabotaging ourselves & ruining things that might've worked out if we just let life happen, does that make any sense? Like, our skin is always working to heal itself, but when I scratch I interfere in that and so it never heals. I am a big believer in working as hard as you can to make what you want a reality, but I think there are some things that tend to work themselves out better you feel. Just go w ur gut yall I believe in u.

I dont usually post anything on my blog, but I wanted to share this. Everything was fine a few months back. Then I started noticing that when I washed my hair, more and more of it would come out. I finally went to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with alopecia areata. I have dealt with hair loss before, but this time it was much more dramatic and much more noticable. I have gone through a huge range of emotions, anger, disgust, sadness,empowerment, acceptance, and back again. Tomorrow, I am going in to have the rest of what is left, shaved off. I went in two weeks ago to have just the sides done, but now the front is falling out. I dont know if I will let it grow back a third time. Each time is more devastating then the last. I havent been blogging that much lately, and this is one of the reasons why. This post is very special to me, because last week was my 6 year blog anniversary, and because of all of this, I missed it. But tomorrow starts a new chapter in my life.
Went to the dermatologist for a skin check up.. I've had a lot of little cancer cells on my face from the sun so have to keep close watch on that sort of thing.. Happy Telegraph Tuesday, Everybody !!
Thanks to all my Flickr Friends for your prayers and good wishes ❣️❣️ ... My itchy skin is not responding to Urgent Care’s scabies treatment. I finally got in to my Dermatologists office this morning. We are trying additional treatments for skin rashes. As of 7pm it is subsiding. I no longer have to wear gloves to stop scratching. Baruch HaShem‼️ ... 🎶👏🎶 Thanks to The Holy Name 🙏

He lived at Winkworth Farm, Busbridge, Surrey. In 1937, he acquired part of the adjoining Thorncombe Estate, and proceeded to create an arboretum.[citation needed]
In 1948, he was awarded the highest honour of the Royal Horticultural Society, the Victoria Medal of Honour. He gave part of the arboretum to the National Trust in 1952, and the trust later acquired more of the land. This is now open to the public as Winkworth Arboretum.[
