How can we fail to mention here the liturgy of Good Friday, when the celebrant comes into the sanctuary? He prostrates himself, stretching out on the floor in front of the altar, and remains in that position for a long interval in great silence. This silent gesture is eloquent. Man acknowledges his nothingness, and he literally has nothing to say in view of the sacred mystery of the Cross. Humbly, he can only prostrate himself and adore. But this adoration is not crushing; on the contrary, it opens us up to an attitude of abandonment and trust.
-THE POWER OF SILENCE, Robert Cardinal Sarah with Nicolas Diat
Malva sylvestris is a species of the mallow genus Malva in the family of Malvaceae and is considered to be the type species for the genus.
(Wiki)
High Mallow is a spreading perennial herb, about 3 ft tall. In wild it can grow taller. Stems are straight or prostrate, branched and covered with fine soft hairs or none at all. The leaves are alternately arranged, deep green, soft, and downy. They are roundish, and have 3-7 shallow lobes, each 2-5 cm across. Leaf stalk is either 2-6 cm or 2-13 cm long. The flowers are large, numerous, and of purple color. They appear in clusters of 2-4 in leaf axils. Sepals are five, petals five, pollen large, whitish. Petals are wrinkly to veined on the backs, more than 1.5-2.3 cm long and 1 cm wide, eggshaped, margin notched with a fringe of hairlike projections. Seeds or 'cheeses' are brown to brownish green when ripe, about 2.5 mm wide, 5-7 mm in diameter and are shaped like a cheese wheel which inspired on of its common names. High Mallow is widespread in Africa, Europe and Asia. Within India it is found in the Himalayas, from Kashmir to Kumaon up to an altitude of 2400 m.
Medicinal uses: [Warning: Unverified information] High Mallow possesses the properties common to mucilaginous herbs, and an infusion thereof forms an excellent demulcent in coughs, irritations of the air-passages, flux, affections of the kidney and bladder, etc. In inflammatory conditions of the external parts, the bruised herb forms an excellent application, making, as it does, a natural emollient cataplasm.

I can only get down on my knees and beg your forgiveness for the crapness and laziness of this shot. But I'm really really tired... Tell you what: I shall cast myself to the ground, prostrate, and promise to pull my finger out tomorrow to make up for the shiteness on display here.
Now, can anyone point me in the direction of the nearest open wine bottle...?

This rhinoceros was in no mood to show off for the tourists! With a heat index of over 100 degrees, even these rugged animals were prostrated! I cut my stay short, too, unable to stay cool, even drinking an enormous soda. Florida summers can be brutal. There was a storm coming in, which made it all the more uncomfortable because of the high humidity. I felt like this guy looked!
As the name implies, this is a creeping plant, rarely reaching a height of more than 1 inch. Generally assumed to be native to southern Michigan, it loves the cracks in our driveway, as seen here. Referred to as Spotted Spurge in the Michigan Flora.
P. asarifolium is a geophyte with small tubers and entire, cordate, prostrate leaves. A noteworthy feature of this species is the small wine-red flowers with only two reflexed petals. The sepals are shorter than the five fertile stamens and recurved so that the stamens protrude from the flower. The staminal column is long, wine-red.
We spent a spectacular day hiking among these buttes and rolling sand hills. The exposed, dead roots in the foreground are Creeping Juniper, a prostrate evergreen shrub that is common in our area. You can see the living plants growing in clusters throughout this photo, along with rabbitbrush and native grass that - unfortunately - I didn't take time to identify. It may be Northern Wheat Grass (a wild guess).
The shattered rock appears to be ironstone, perhaps the remnants of a concretion - I'm full of wild guesses today, but I have seen ironstone concretions in this national park. When dinosaurs roamed, this entire area was a vast, shallow seabed, so conditions were favourable for the development of concretions.
Botanical and geological specifics aside, the dispersal pattern of these rock fragments led me to this composition. Patterns out of chaos, especially in a primal landscape, always pull me in.

Poem.
We might go to the Seychelles.
We might go to Cape Town.
We might go to Italy’s Amalfi Coast.
We might go to Barbados beaches.
We might go to Copacabana in Rio.
We might go to Halong Bay in Vietnam.
All of these are surely superb, magnificent and marvellous.
But little old Plockton at sunrise takes some beating.
The eastern sunrise reflected off of this sheltered bay.
Tree-lined islands with prostrate Grey Seals.
Stepped mountains rising above a castle.
Thin yacht masts like threaded needles.
Receding layers of slate-grey mountain slopes,
silhouetted against the eastern orb.
A main street festooned with Cabbage Palms and Pampas Grass, interspersed by two or three beer gardens by the shore.
The etched black, grey and gold lines of a gently rippling loch,
part of a natural harbour covering over thirty square miles.
The deafening silence of dawn at 06:30, on an August morning.
How can a little fishing village steal the prize from many locations that are much more popular, but no more perfect?
How did David beat Goliath…….?
But he did!

Fresco Christ's Raising of Lazarus - a biblical episode, the revival of the deceased Lazarus from Bethany by Jesus Christ; New Testament history (John 11:1-45); the plot of numerous works of art.
The raising of Lazarus is a story of the miracle of Jesus recounted only in the Gospel of John (John 11:1–44) in the New Testament, as well as in the Secret Gospel of Mark (a fragment of an extended version of the Gospel of Mark) in which Jesus raises Lazarus of Bethany from the dead four days after his entombment. The event took place at Bethany. In John, this is the last of the miracles that Jesus performs before the passion, crucifixion and his own resurrection.
Svedomsky’s painting “The Raising of Lazarus” is located on the western wall of the northern nava. It is written on the text:
“Christ cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come out! And the dead man came out, entwined on his hands and feet with burial cloths, and his face was tied with a scarf.”
The picture shows the inside of a grotto, into which stone steps lead. Christ stands in the grotto with his right hand raised. His face is calm. In front of him is a gaping hole at the bottom of the grotto, from which a dead man rises, all wrapped in linen. One of Lazarus’ sisters, kneeling next to Christ, with her arms naked, raised and slightly thrown back, fixed her joyful and perplexed gaze on her brother emerging from the grave. The other fell prostrate at the feet of Christ. Behind the Savior are two male figures. Very characteristic is the figure of an old man with a face on which shines unshakable faith in the Divine power of the Wonderworker. Consciousness of this power, reverence and involuntary fear leave their imprints on this face. Above, on the steps of the grotto, stand a man and a woman, pressed against the entrance wall in horror. The lamp standing at the bottom of the cave, behind Lazarus, illuminates the figure of a Jew, also in horror, pressed against the corner of the cave and convulsively clutching his chest with his hands. The reflections of the same lamp give beautiful reflections on the clothes of Christ and on the figures of Lazarus’s sisters.
Pavel Svedomsky in collaboration with Wilhelm Kotarbinsky.
From the cycle of the Passion of the Lord - in the paintings in the Kyiv Volodymyr Cathedral: “The Resurrection of Lazarus”, “The Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem”, “The Last Supper”, “Prayer for the Cup”, “The Judgment of Pilate”.

Воскресіння Лазаря — це історія чуда Ісуса, описана лише в Євангелії від Іоанна (Іоанна 11:1–44) у Новому Завіті, а також у Таємному Євангелії від Марка (фрагмент розширеної версії Євангеліє від Марка), в якому Ісус воскрешає Лазаря з Віфанії через чотири дні після його поховання. Подія відбулася у Віфанії. В Іоанна це останнє з чудес, які Ісус здійснює перед страстями, розп’яттям і власним воскресінням.
Картина Сведомського (+ Котарбінський) «Воскресіння Лазаря» знаходиться на західній стіні північноі нави. Вона написана на текст:
«Христос закликав гучним голосом: Лазарю, йди геть! І вийшов померлий, обвитий по руках і ногах похоронними пеленами, і обличчя його було обв'язане хусткою».
На картині стіни грота, в який ведуть кам'яні сходи. Христос стоїть у гроті з піднесеною правицею. Обличчя його спокійне. Перед ним зяючий отвір на дні грота, з якого піднімається мертвий, весь закутаний у полотно. Одна з сестер Лазаря, стоячи навколішки поруч із Христом, з оголеними, піднятими й дещо відкинутими назад руками, зупинила радісний і здивований погляд свій на братові, що виходив з могили. Інша впала ниць до ніг Христа. Позаду Спасителя дві чоловічі фігури. Дуже характерна постать старого з обличчям, на якому світиться непохитна віра в Божественну силу Чудотворця. Свідомість цієї сили, благоговіння та мимовільний страх дають свої відбитки на цій особі. Вище, на східцях грота стоять чоловік і жінка, що з жахом притиснулися до стіни входу. Світильник, що стоїть на дні печери, позаду Лазаря, висвітлює постать іудея, який також у жаху притиснувся до кута печери і конвульсивно схоплює себе за груди руками. Відблиски того ж світильника дають гарні рефлекси на одязі Христа та на фігурах сестер Лазаря.
«Есть страшная легенда о Лазаре.
Воздвигнутый всемогущим словом Иисуса из своей трехдневной гробницы, он прожил еще несколько лет. Но ни разу в продолжение этой второй жизни Лазарь не улыбнулся и никому не сказал ни слова. И взгляда его опустелых глаз, видавших тайну смерти, не мог выдержать ни один из живущих.
Мне кажется, что молчание Лазаря было еще ужаснее, чем непереносимая тяжесть его взгляда. Ибо Лазарь знал, что на человеческом языке нет звуков, слов и образов, достаточно сильных для выражения того, что он видел.»

"QUICK TOM ITS A TURTLE DOVE I THINK !" No way I think to myself, my wife does not know one bird from another, so I amble to the kitchen window, and as my jaw hit the floor, I made a quick about turn to grab my camera, so this was taken through a diamond leaded window, very difficult, but it was what she said, a juvenile one. My closest encounter with this Red Listed bird, and it was gone within five mins, but so unforgettable, hence I dug out a image not shown before.

More from our garden.
The Cranesbill is really the TRUE Geranium, what we too often call Geranium is the Pelargonium, with flower heads and not hardy like these here.
Geranium phaeum ‘Lily Lovell’.
The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane.
Also known as Hardy Geranium, Rozanne Cranesbill, Blood Red Cranesbill
Large blue blooms with darker veining are held in clusters above the foliage, giving the plant in bloom an airy appearance.
It has a thick rhizome(A horizontal, usually underground stem that often sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Also called rootstock).
The stems are prostrate to ascending, well developed, very branched and hairy as are the buds.
.An enormous variety, often very fragrant leaves, gives you a clue that it is a medicinal plant.
Geranium plants could hold the key to a new generation of HIV treatments, research suggests.
Extracts of the geranium plant Pelargonium sidoides inactivate HIV-1 and prevent the virus invading human cells.
Have a super day and thank you, M, (*_*)

Technically not perfect, but I like the mood and symbolism in it.
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 while Jains and Bönpos 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 entire 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.

Once a year we all make a pilgrimage to a messy, litter strewn lay-by in West Kent. You get down prostrate on the dry leaves and MacDonald's wrappers to get the best shot as cars, lorries and bikes zoom past within inches of your head and stop if they think you have collapsed on the roadside "Which always happens to me, god bless the British motorist!" And here in this roadside stop is the only accessible population of Kent's Green Flowered Helleborine's. Worth it, definitely........

Gal Demata ((Impatiens repens) ගල් දෙමට is an endemic prostrate herb that can be seen mainly on rocks, in moist and shaded places in wet zone up to about 1200 m elevations. Flowering most of the year.
An easy care groundcovering Banksia, growing to just under a metre high and 2 metres wide. With large yellow flowers borne for most of the year- from summer through to winter-they are bird attracting and make good cut flowers. Suits seaside gardens, looks great when mass planted. Drought and frost tolerant once established.
Pegasus and Dragon is a 110-foot (34 m) tall statue of Pegasus defeating a dragon in Gulfstream Park, Hallandale Beach, Florida. It is the third-tallest statue in the United States after the Birth of the New World in Puerto Rico and the Statue of Liberty in New York. It is also the world's largest and tallest equine and European dragon statue. The Pegasus is poised with its front hoof on the neck of the dragon, which lies prostrate far below the level of the equine. The statue complex is 200 feet (61 m) in length and 115 feet (35 m) in width. Pegasus is made of 330 tons of steel and 132 tons of bronze. The dragon is made of 110 tons of steel and 132 tons of bronze. Pegasus will feature a 5D dome theater in a rock formation underneath it. The dragon is surrounded by musical fountains. At night the statue is home to a fountain show featuring 13 musical pieces, 350 fog nozzles, 116 water nozzles, special LED lighting, and the dragon breathing fire 20 feet during the show.
The statue was announced in 2012 as part of a long-term expansion of Gulfstream Park that also included condominiums and more grandstands for the horse racing track. In 2013 further details emerged showing that Pegasus was to be in the pose of stomping on a dragon. The German bronze casting company Strassacker designed, planned, and built the sculpture in cooperation with the engineering specialist Stark, the steel manufacturing company Wendeler and a Chinese bronze casting company, which was necessary to realize the high volume of bronze pieces. Construction on the site started on April 5 supervised by Strassacker and with Skanska overseeing construction. The statue was pre-cast and shipped in from China in 23 packing containers and the steel beams were shipped in 23 shipping containers from Germany after being made by Wendeler. The project cost $30 million. By December 6, 2014 construction of the statues was completed with work on the surrounding landscaping and water features remaining to be done in the summer of 2015. Work on lighting for the fountain show and dragon's fire breath began in late 2015. The complex opened in spring 2016.
