Shiprow, Aberdeen - to raise awareness of and celebrate the ‘umbrella’ term of neurodiversity, which includes ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyspraxia. The project runs until September.
Hundreds of brightly-coloured brollies have been suspended in the air above the market and beyond in Newark, to raise awareness and acceptance of neurological conditions.
The project was officially launched in partnership with the ADHD Neurodiversity Foundation. About one in ten people have dyslexia, one in 20 have ADHD and one in 60 are autistic and together with other conditions that makes up about a quarter of the population of this planet.
Quote….“In our culture, historically we have often considered those people as being less intelligent and less able, but we know that isn’t true. Over 30% of chief executives, entrepreneurs and self employed people have ADHD or dyslexia.”
The umbrellas have been installed by Newark Creates, a three year cultural programme in Newark and will remain in place until September.
I forgot to upload this before I went away - edited in Photoshop and Corel. The location pin is off the umbrella display for ADHD awareness (lbndaily.co.uk/multi-coloured-umbrella-display-returns-li...) - the advertising hoarding was found somewhere around the corner :)
ADHD fly, would not sit still for a minute. I ran around for 30min trying to capture a shot... People in the park thought I lost my mind..lol.
I have waited a year - or have put off for a year - posting some of the following aloes. Why? Well, speaking as a poster child for ADHD, I didn't want you to get bored. Whatever the problem, I always found it helpful to project!
Second, as I walked the Garden daily, I kept getting sidetracked. About this time last year, I was really "involved" in meat eaters like Stapelia hirsuta (flic.kr/p/2maAPj9) which are already a month late in blooming. Then, there was my onging affairs with the short-lived Hoodia (singlular - flic.kr/p/2m941b5), already well past it's two week bloom.
Third, I was hoping to have found a software that would allow me to do dyptychs and without having to pay for another program. ACDSee provides everything I need except the occasional dyptych or triptych.
There isnot much to say about aloe that 90% of you already know: Aloe is a genus containing over 560 species of flowering succulent plants. The most widely known species is Aloe vera, or "true aloe". It is called this because it is cultivated as the standard source for assorted pharmaceutical purposes. Other species, such as Aloe ferox, are also cultivated or harvested from the wild for similar applications.
This furry Aloe lavranosii is endemic to Yemen and can be found at the corner of Bancroft and Ygncio Avenues here. It does nothing for dry skin, and I, personally, don't like to eat furry things. So I - and perhaps you - should just enjoy it as one of the most beautiful and unique of all 560 species of aloe.
In the garden... A bunch of eight plants in all stages of color and bloom would have been found 150 yards behind me when I took the shot of the cactus path (also posted this morning). What is surprising is that they were in deep shade under the largest Gum in the garden, and yet they come from a desert environment.
Oh, yes, and it is was the hardest of any flowers - ever - to photograph with a dark background. (I always leave the EXIF because it *might* be of value for "specialty" shots. It *will* be of value if you have any camera from the Canon SX10 to SX50.)
Me and one of my best friends Surbhi. Love to live and share my adventures with that ruthless adhd maniac very much! ♥

This is the last day of my summer vacation from work and I've had a really busy one. I went back home to spend time with my family in the first part, took care of some medical appointments, photographed two music festivals, went to Scotland, and on the days I was in Chicago, I started running at least ten miles along the lakefront path every morning. I'm honestly going to miss that part of my day the most.
I was never a runner before (though I do use an elliptical regularly and am an all year round bicyclist) but I love listening to music and seeing the clouds and the waves...just being a part of something vaster. It calms me down to witness it all every day. It sounds odd but checking on the sky to make sure it's still there...quite reassuring. At the end of the day, no matter how poorly it is going, we have to realize that the sky, the water, the mountains still exist for us to behold. How lucky we all are!
I always have some anxiety about returning to work. It's like the 4am scaries x 100. Of course, I don't get paid during my summers off so, even though I appreciate them, I do have a mortgage to pay. I think the hardest thing for me is just the neurological adjustment that I go through getting back into a work schedule but it's also intensely difficult for kids to come back, especially if they have some major screen addictions. Interacting with other humans in a learning context where they are asked to do things they don't necessarily find instantly gratifying is honestly less and less appealing to them as the years go by. When I first started my job in 2001, this was not as big of an issue and most students wanted to please their teachers. Now, it is almost as if many don't care about people in the real world at all and I can almost see a separation in young brains between a "screen world" and a "real world," the latter mattering far less to them.
Anyway, I have written before about how scary this trend is to me...and studies have shown with young children especially how they lose the number of words acquired with increased screen use and we're seeing a lot of decreased empathy in the schools towards others as well as an increase in violence when the screen is taken away or when kids are seeking out an immediate reaction. This is going to really change our world and I don't know if this trend will ever stop. What I am seeing as most common is that parents just hand over the screens for hours, even for young children and ADHD is also a really pressing concern. The children who have the most prominent ADHD challenges are the same children whose parents will tell me they are typically on screens for sometimes 6 hours a day (!)
So, these are the thoughts that go through my head when I have to readjust every school year. Lots of things I cannot control of all sizes. I'm going to ask the sky today what it's thoughts are but maybe the sky will be too busy moving all of those clouds around.

A title that, despite looking like a poorly worded ADHD-infused sentence, actually describes this scene quite well:
This BNSF Gevo has become the DPU on the Short Line's outbound slab train. An SCIH engineer was on board this unit less than five minutes ago, but a company pickup truck has picked him up and (extremely recklessly, per the usual) drove back to a CN unit waiting in the plant on the new pit track I shared a few uploads ago. They will tie onto the other end of the train, cut their air in, get the DPU fence up and linked, and be on their way to Stockton to hand the train off to a CN crew.
And, Front St. is the crossing you see in the background. The circle of life.
I took this SL self portrait to increase ADHD awareness and express how it feels like for me to experience the inattention & distraction & lack of self-awareness aspects of this neuro-biological condition. #brainfog #ADHD #inattention #distraction #ADHDAwarenessMonth
An art installation called the Umbrella Project 2018 featuring 200 brightly coloured umbrellas, hanging over Church Alley in Liverpool, was to raise awareness of ADHD and autism.

It's time for cats. We ended up in a quiet, beautiful, drowning in green resort in Crete in Kalo Chorio where there was a large herd of semi-wild cats. Fed by tourists in the summer, they appeared whenever we went out to eat something on the terrace. In winter, they had to support themselves in part by hunting. Beautifully colored, slender, some skinny, especially the beautiful "2D cat" feeding two kitten, as we called her because of her slimness. Son, a cat lover, upon arriving at the place stated with a blissful expression: “I'm in heaven.”
Exceptions verify the rule, but every moment is forever. And the moment it's over, it's been over half an hour ago. After an hour it's a day ago, after a day, a week, and so on. And when it's over it took only an hour or two, when it reality it was a whole day at work. Selling a ticket to the last car on the ferry, taking a look around if I forgot anyone, and I spot the red convertible all the way at the front. Oh right, that one, now that I see it. That's still there. Completely forgot I ever met that at all. Might as well have been ten crossings ago that I sold him his ticket.
Today I went to one of my ship spotting places. Yesterday... did I even go anywhere yesterday? Ah right, Hattingen. Or was that the day before yesterday? Did yesterday even happen? If so, where was I? Spending another day not worth remembering, I guess.
Say you have ADHD without saying you have ADHD- So I took this picture a month ago to showcasee Midwest's Essentia set because I won a fatpack in the giveaway. The Essentia set was part of the FLF birthday bash and I wanted to get a jump on fall decorating lol. Now its the end of September and I am behind the fall decor trend ;) oh well, Enjoy

It was just before Thanksgiving of 2011. Jo and I both worked for local school systems and were looking forward to Thanksgiving break when the phone rang. It was our good friends with a travel proposal…I was an instant yes before they even started to dial!
The weather had been gray for a while and they had decided to take a trip to the Keys to escape. They had rented a place with two bedrooms and out of the kindness of their hearts offered us one for free. Neither Jo or I thought it would be possible to get off work between Thanksgiving and Christmas break but decided to test the waters. We both approaching our bosses with the opportunity at the first chance. To our surprise, they both agreed saying…a free room…you have to go! Less than a week after Thanksgiving we were in the air!
Leaving a cold, gray Indiana and landing in Miami on a warm sunny day hit me like a suffocating man receiving a fresh breath of air…my soul instantly rehydrated in the sunshine and warm ocean breezes.
As we passed from key to key, exploring shops and restaurants along the way, the appreciation of the timely escape grew. Once we arrived at our destination, Marathon Key, it was time to relax and enjoy. Unfortunately for this kid, relaxation is rarely on the menu as my ADHD screams in my ear about how adventure always awaits in new places!
On this day 13 years ago, we decided to explore several of the local keys. The ladies shopped while the men waited. At one particular shop I couldn’t take the relaxing on a bench watching people go by anymore. I grabbed my camera and decided to walk out in an adjacent field to hunt for critters. Once I stepped around the corner of the shops, a canal behind the shops came into view…my heart instantly filled with hope of finding something cool!
I made my way through the tall grasses, weeds and other vegetation of the field, all of which will cut you, in my shorts and flipflops. Now standing on a rock wall looking down into the canal…nothing…nothing but an oddly curved stormwater pipe directly below. I scanned the water below, above and the skyline for any movement, nothing. And then the assumed drain pipe started moving. It was a lone manatee feeding on the wall!
Either it didn’t know that I was there, or it didn’t care but instead of fleeing the area as others had done before, it just gently surfaced and opened its nostrils to take in a breath. The distance from its nose to mine was probably 6-7 feet. My need to capture photographs of God’s creations is only outweighed by my desire to connect with His nature, eye to eye without threat. I took this shot and a few more, then went to my knees to just look into each other’s eyes. It took several more breaths and then submerged, moving on its way down the canal.
It would be very easy to sit here at my computer on this cold November day in Indiana with our first accumulating snow to start later today and wish that I was back in the Keys. But I do not. Instead, I am thinking about the chances of my encounter, the blessing of this encounter with my friend captured here. I am reminded of my favorite saying; one I have shared with thousands of young people:
Don’t cry because it is over. Smile because it happened!

While cruising along behind cupcake, my ADHD got the best of me and I was distracted by this Green Heron pointing to something in the bayou. Truth is that he was actually on the verge of plucking another fish from the bayou to ease his/her hunger pains. He made numerous strikes such as this and scored on each attempt. He was very accurate and proficient from this old branch. I will add that I really was following the large alligator when I paddled up on this Greenie fishing. Greenies are always THE #1 priority when I am paddling. More entertaining than a pack of monkeys. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

I've been recently diagnosed with ADHD.
It has taken 29 years of my life to get this diagnosis. Despite numerous appointments with medical professionals it was left undiagnosed until recently. These next few weeks and months are going to be challenging though I am confident I can take on the challenge.
Personally, for me, it is comforting to understand that the feelings, toughts, and lack of concentration I feel are because I think differently than the majority of people.
I just want to stress to every single person, mental illness is real, your thoughts and feelings are valid. It is OK to not be OK.

Good morning sweet souls. I decided that once a week the coworking would be at the HQ cafe: here at Fresh Peaks :-) I do love sitting here and it provides a sense of home to the coworking. Once a week it comes home ;-).
Today the light is giving it an other-worldy feel. Great for stepping back a little and seeing things in other ways.
Coworking session now open :-)
If you want a bit of quiet company while you work in RL, hop on down. Comfy seats and fresh coffee abound. :-)

Metamina är ett licenspreparat. Utskrivande läkare måste i varje enskilt fall ha ett
godkännande från läkemedelsverket. På vissa kliniker finns sk kliniklicenser, vilket tillåter
behandlande läkare att föreskriva läkemedlet utan föregående licensansökan.
Dexamfetamin är ett centralnervöst stimulerande läkemedel, vars huvudindikationer är
behandling av narkolepsi och allvarliga former av hyperaktivitets-, impulsivitetskontroll- och
koncentrationsstörning (AD/HD), där andra åtgärder ej är tillräckliga.
Se så vackra damer det finns i Göteborg.
Riktiga hårdingar är de också. Klart att de känns lite ärjade efter en tid men å andra sidan är de aldrig otrogna eller tar och äter upp din pizza.
This is what the inside of my brain feels like sometimes. The Vyvanse helps, but it can't help all the time.

200 Umbrellas have been used in an art intalation to highlight issues with ADHD and Autism, both processing issues.
Two hundred colourful umbrellas were suspended over Church Alley in Liverpool. The rainbow brolly installation was launched to raise awareness of ADHD and has been created by Liverpool-based ADHD Foundation, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary as a charity this year.
The Umbrella Project was named by children who work with the ADHD Foundation because ADHD and autism are ‘umbrella terms’ for a whole variety of neurodevelopment difficulties.
