Yes, we are currently mere shadows of ourselves as we have become trapped in DIARRHEA HELL!
For two months Tidda has been suffering from increasingly frequent bouts of diarrhea. For the most part, she seems to be feeling okay and enjoys her walks, is hungry and plays. I on the other hand have been reduced to stumbling in a trance from one colon emergency to the next, randomly having to drop everything and take her outside or, worse, having to get up at 2 a.m. to take her out. And then again at 5.
Stool samples are negative for Giardia, negative for worms. She's been on probiotics and prebiotics for 10 days and has had several 24-hour fasts, now mostly getting rice and home-cooked chicken broth. She's losing weight and does seem to be a little less energetic.
The 12 day wait for the vet appointment has been the longest 12 days ever. It's no longer episodic but just continuous diarrhea. I wanted to bring her in as an emergency on Saturday but then she seemed slightly better and the vet "no longer had any same day visits available" that day. To be honest, I might be suffering more than she is. They said I'm doing everything right and she should get better.
Ever since the pandemic, the vet clinic has been chronically understaffed and overburdened and I've heard it's due in large part to the extreme local housing shortage as they can't hire people if there is no affordable place for them to live. Another issue is that I have constant problems buying her regular food as intermittently it's just not available due to the supply chain problems that are affecting pet foods. It's a real stressor for me. I'm going to see what the vet thinks about the possibility of making my own food for her.
Yet, Tidda is her sweet and good self. I'm trying to emulate her in that regard. I tell myself we will get through this and she will get better. Life just never seems to get any easier, though.
Wish us luck for the vet visit on Wednesday!

This tree seems to be saying something and I felt the only possible answer with be "Yes your Majesty".
They say beauty is the signature of God. What should be the signature of man?
Yes, yes, I know - but if you are there you just have to take the photo don't you? So here once more is Willy Lott's Cottage seen in John Constable's painting 'The Hay Wain' (1821), and carefully preserved by The National Trust on the River Stour at Flatford, Suffolk. Amusingly, the happy school children with their teacher are almost exactly where Constable evidently had second thoughts about his inclusion there of a small boy fishing, so over-painted him, leaving a rather obvious smudge.

Yes, I will love this place every month of the year....
Yes means yes and no means no,
but what is the meaning of silence?

Thanks for views, faves and comments!
Yes, the males are yellow and they are called 'Orange Sulfur'. The color is just like Sulfur. They are quite variable in color and markings while the females are basically white or gray/white. They move around quickly so a longer lens is needed. I did use my flash with a MagMod dome. We seem to be done with Butterflies this season. I haven't seen any since this day.
They may look sweet, but they are about 3 years out of date!

"Mama! Mama!" That was tiny bear Sylko, who had only just arrived.
"What is it, my darling?! Are you okay?" I asked.
"Oh yes, Mama, but I was wondering . . . "
"What is it you wonder, Sylko?"
"I just wonder . . . Do you think any of the tiny bears will think I look funny? I mean . . . you know . . . "
"Oh, Sylko! Do YOU think you look funny? Do *I* look funny?!" I made a face and stuck out my tongue.
Sylko laughed. "Well, you DO look funny, Mama!"
"I know, my darling! I think that is my point. We all look funny sometimes. And we are ALL different. Being different isn't bad, and looking funny? Well, that is just another bear's opinion, isn't it? Besides, it is a very rude bear who would say somebear looked funny. Now isn't that true?"
"You are right, Mama! So, if anybear makes fun of me, they are just rude! I'm just a tiny bear, after all, right Mama?"
"Oh, you are a very Special bear, my little Sylko! Never forget that! And anybear that makes fun- well, yes, they are rude and we will not have that!"
"I love you, Mama!" sighed Sylko.
"I love you, too, Sylko!"

Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!
With the disappearing of YN2 EMD's at a fast rate, this is becoming more and more awesome to see. CSX 8130, the same YN2 SD40 that trailed on the circus train a few months ago, is now back in Florida on K743. Here the train is seen in Baldwin just north of the diamond.
"These are from my plants," she said. "This is the only purple blossom. See how different the soil is near the pine trees."
"Yes." I said, and thought to myself how very good it was to be home.

That charming bathing Yellow Hammer. I think this is my fave shot of him. I mean, look at that face and how he is paddling! Straight from camera. Not edited at all.
