Veronica persica is an annual or winter annual herb that reproduces from seed.
Its cotyledons are triangular with truncated bases. The short-stalked leaves are broadly ovate with coarsely serrated margins, and measure one to two centimetres (0.4 to 0.8 in) long. The leaves are paired on the lower stem and are alternately arranged on the upper parts. The plant has weak stems that form a dense, prostrate groundcover. The tips of stems often grow upright.

The flowers are roughly one centimetre (0.4 in) wide[4] and are sky-blue with dark stripes and white centers. They are zygomorphic, having only one vertical plane of symmetry. They are solitary on long, slender, hairy stalks in the leaf axils.
The seeds are transversely rugose and measure between one and two millimetres (0.04 and 0.08 in) long. There are five to 10 seeds per locule in the fruit.
Veronica persica can be distinguished from similar species by its heart-shaped fruit with two widely-separated lobes.

Voilà Carbone est rentré après 5 jours en clinique (et 3 la semaine passée) sous perfusion (insuffisance rénale).
Il ne mange toujours pas beaucoup mais il est assez actif (il ne reste pas prostré comme avant). Au moins j'arrive à lui donner ses médicaments (c'est un combat mais jusqu'ici je gagne). Là il est perché sur le capot de ma voiture. Normalement il n'a pas le droit de sortir, mais vu son insistance et vu qu'il fait assez beau j'ai cédé. Sur les photos ci-dessous vous pouvez voir ses belles tonsures aux pattes et à la queue. S'il n'y a pas de catastrophe avant il retourne vendredi faire une prise de sang. Pour ma part je suis très stressée.
Well Carbone came home after 5 days in the clinic (and 3 last week) on a drip (kidney failure)
He still doesn’t eat much but is quite active (he is not prostrated as before). At least I managed to give him his medication (it's a struggle but so far I win). There he is on the hood of my car. Normally he is not allowed to go out, but given his insistence and the quite good weather I yielded. In the photos below you can see his beautiful tonsures at the paws and tail. If there is no disaster before he will go on Friday to a blood test. For my part I am very stressed.

Dedicated to Trixie (8 Simple Rules) and to all my Flickr lady friends. Be aware of the dreaded breast cancer. Have regular checkups. My wife had it and I lost her.
Haha, and also to my gentlemen friends to have their prostrates checked. Hehe. Happy New Year!
Whether its breast, colon, lung, prostrate, blood, skin or any other cancers....it still all just cancer. The following link is one sisters story about her beloved sister. It puts a face to cancer, and this girl is asking for one thing and one thing alone ~ prayers for her sister and her family.

Not a day passes without a flashback of these places. Not a reminiscence goes without reliving the urge to go back again and again insha Allah.
Over 2 million Muslims will prostrate toward the direction of this House and see it for themselves over the course of next 10 days insha Allah. Their Host is none but their Creator – the Almighty of the heavens and the earth – the One Allah ‘Azza wa Jal.
May Allah Sub’hana wa Ta’ala guide and help His guests, fill their hearts with righteousness, accept their good efforts, forgive the conscious and the unconscious errors, and grant them all the Hajj Mabroor, for which His Messenger (ﷺ) has taught us, “there is no reward except Paradise”. (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 933)
These 10 days are of enormous significance for those who are not going to perform Hajj too, which can be understood from the words of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), “There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days.” When his companions asked at this, “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) replied, “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.” (Ibn Majah book 7, Hadith 1799).
Allahumma a’inni ‘ala zhikrik, wa shukrik, wa ‘husni ‘ibadatik. Amin.

I'm in a nostalgic mood and so I thought I would upload this oldie, taken with my old digicam. It's tiny, noisy, and I think I even see a dust spot. I love it.
At the time (2003) I had no idea where life would take me, had not the tiniest thought of being a professional photographer. I've always loved taking pictures, sure, but who doesn't? It never struck me as a calling, just something I occasionally geeked out on, leading me to crawl around in insane Bakersfield heat in a field full of garlic blossoms.
There are a few photographs, just three, that really woke me up. This is one of them. It's an image that planted a seed in my brain, opened my eyes to the possibilities, awakened a passion that has become a vocation, gave me permission to make a living in an artistic way. For a girl who was headed for medical school, that's a big leap indeed.
So enjoy this quirky scene. Imagine a hot, sweaty Sara prostrate in the garlicky dirt of the California central valley, a big grin on her face, bees tooling around in the blossoms. Be witness to the beginning of things, the fork in the road.

During the February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand the statue of Robert Falcon Scott broke across the ankles and most of the statue came crashing to the ground. To commemorate a 100 years of association with Antarctica Christchurch council has laid out for viewing the statue in a prostrate position. I was lucky to encounter the statue before it was put into it's glass display enclosure.

Christian Music Video | "Almighty God, You Are So Glorious"
Introduction
The last Christ, Almighty God, You are the Redeemer come again.
You speak to the people, using the truth to judge and purify them.
Your words bear authority and power, purifying people’s corrupt disposition.
Your words reveal omnipotence, and even more God’s righteousness.
God’s word judges the old world, judges nations, judges peoples.
God’s words achieve all; God has already thoroughly defeated Satan.
Praise God, praise God. Oh Almighty God, You are so glorious!
Your miraculous deeds! All nations and all peoples jump for joy.
God’s work is wise and almighty, using the great red dragon to serve.
Satan rushes frantic to persecute; tribulations make a group of overcomers.
All the people are completed by God, utterly forsaking the great red dragon.
The kingdom of Satan has been thoroughly destroyed; the kingdom of God has appeared on earth!
We prostrate ourselves in worship, praising God’s assumption of power on earth.
Truth and righteousness is revealed to the world; all nations and all peoples raise their voices in praise.
Praise God, praise God. Oh Almighty God, You are so glorious!
Your miraculous wisdom! All nations and all peoples jump for joy.
God’s great work is completed, God is returning to Zion.
Humanity has received great salvation from God, escaped the dark influences of Satan.
Each line of God’s words bears fruit. The outcomes for different people have been revealed.
Those with the truth are blessed by God, those who hate God shall meet with punishment.
Great disasters will destroy the world; God’s people will be left.
All nations and all peoples will come before God’s throne, and all the people will praise God with all their hearts.
Praise God, praise God. Oh Almighty God, You are so glorious!
All things in heaven and earth jump for joy, praising the glory of Almighty God!

Anemone are perennials that have basal leaves with long leaf-stems that can be upright or prostrate. Leaves are simple or compound with lobed, parted, or undivided leaf blades. The leaf margins are toothed or entire.
Flowers with 4–27 sepals are produced singly, in cymes of 2–9 flowers, or in umbels, above a cluster of leaf- or sepal-like bracts. Sepals may be any color. The pistils have one ovule. The flowers have nectaries, but petals are missing in the majority of species.
The fruits are ovoid to obovoid shaped achenes that are collected together in a tight cluster, ending variously lengthened stalks; though many species have sessile clusters terminating the stems. The achenes are beaked and some species have feathery hairs attached to them.[

VISIT LORD SHIVA'S ABODE IN HIMALAYAS, KNOWN AS HOLY MOUNT KAILASH
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An Unique Aerial View Of The Holy Mount Kailash, in Tibet, the Ultimate Place Of Pilgrimage For People Of Many Faith.
This Aerial Picture Is A Rarest Of Rare One, Only Available As Poster In Nepal.
High on the remote western Tibetan plateau, in the northernmost region of the Himalayas, sits Mount Kailash, the holy mountain. The Tibetan people have named it Kang Rinpoche, or Snow Jewel. Bön, Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain pilgrims from the world over go to this holy mountain to circumambulate rather than scale the 22,028-foot high peak.

and return To Kathmandu By Trekking In Land Rover For Another 6 days.
Once In A Life Time and Un forgettable Experience Indeed.
(This Picture Is Brought To Viewers On This Auspicious Day Of Thiruvathrai aka Arudhra Dharisanam
Every year, thousands make a pilgrimage to Kailash, following a tradition going back thousands of years. Pilgrims of several religions believe that circumambulating Mount Kailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring good fortune. The peregrination is made in a clockwise direction by Hindus and Buddhists. Followers of the Jain and Bönpo religions circumambulate the mountain in a counterclockwise direction. The path around Mount Kailash is 52 km (32 mi) long.
Some pilgrims believe that the entire walk around Kailash should be made in a single day, which is not considered an easy task. A person in good shape walking fast would take perhaps 15 hours to complete the 52 km trek. Some of the devout do accomplish this feat, little daunted by the uneven terrain, altitude sickness and harsh conditions faced in the process. Indeed, other pilgrims venture a much more demanding regimen, performing body-length prostrations over the entire length of the circumambulation: The pilgrim bends down, kneels, prostrates full-length, makes a mark with his fingers, rises to his knees, prays, and then crawls forward on hands and knees to the mark made by his/her fingers before repeating the process. It requires at least four weeks of physical endurance to perform the circumambulation while following this regimen. The mountain is located in a particularly remote and inhospitable area of the Tibetan Himalayas. A few modern amenities, such as benches, resting places and refreshment kiosks, exist to aid the pilgrims in their devotions. According to all religions that revere the mountain, setting foot on its slopes is a dire sin. It is claimed that many people who ventured to defy the taboo have died in the process[citation needed]. It is a popular belief that the stairways on Mount Kailash lead to heaven.

This was on the Champs-Élysées. The walker on the left is Fred, who gave her some coins so I wouldn't feel badly taking her photo.
Today crowds of tibetan people are making the Kora from early in the morning until late in the evening. Kora is a kind of meditative walk around stupa, monastries or holy mountains (like the Kailash). The most devotee ones make full body prosternations after every step. Non buddhist visitors (like many nepalis) can walk around with the pilgrims.
The original stupa was built in the sixth century. Badly damaged by 2015 earthquake, it is completely repaired today (2017). Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Boudhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha

gravity-driven, and ancient.

In their natural habitat, these aloes have long, prostrate, branching stems of up to 2 meters. Instead of growing upright, they tend to sprawl along the ground and over rocks. While most of the plant lies along the ground, the terminal leaf-bearing head is often erect, facing upwards to the sun. The leaf margins are armed with harmless, little white teeth.
i luv these crazy-cool birds. this youngster's sunning on a 97F (36C) day here. many bird species employ this behavior to help rid themselves of feather parasites. they'll also prostrate themselves over an ant mound to enlist the aid of Formicans for the same purpose.
the bird's not calling, the open bill is a way to help dissipate body heat on a hot day, akin to a dog panting. ;)

Worshippers prostrating to accumulate merits and as a form of worship on the auspicious month of Saka Dawa which is now for two months as the Buddhist calendar states.
Our previous sightings of this plant has been that they grow on laterite ridges so it was interesting to see it growing in the sand.
It is a low sprawling shrub with its flowers extending from the plant and sitting on the ground.
Here you can see open flowers within the head of flowers, also containing closed flowers.
Many of the styles of the flowers had been chewed off and occasionally the petals had their tips chewed as well.
Petals, stamens and styles are visible in this photograph.
