As this grand old Live Oak tree reaches for the sky, the eruption of new growth at it’s extremities fulfills the promise of life that comes with each spring.

Peanut allergies are very dangerous. Please find out information on food allergies.
I do not have any allergies but know people who do.
Thank you.
HMM
I appear to have found the only Robin with a peanut allergy.... Or maybe it doesn't like this brand of peanut butter.
I associate Goldenrod with the brilliant colour it has to attract pollinators, and with the year round contribution it makes to living creatures in the ecosystem. I used to think it was a source of seasonal allergies, but in fact its pollen is not wind borne - only bees, butterflies and birds can move it around.
I liked the clean look I got at the Honey Bee’s ‘mouth parts’, and the front legs that have dedicated bristles for cleaning the proboscis. The prominent mandibles, used for chewing and eating things, are displaced by the mandible but visible at its base, on either side of the proboscis. The front of the face is a bit dusty, but the compound eyes are unobstructed.
After what feels like days and days of overcast skies, I thought some bright summery colours and activity might be a tonic.
Common over-the-counter antihistamine used for allergy relief (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes).
HMM!

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
A common winter visitor, this White-throated Sparrow was picking through the seed heads of this spent Goldenrod.
Goldenrod (genus Solidago) is a group of about 100-150 species of bright yellow, late-summer-blooming perennials in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), known for supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies, providing seeds for birds, and having traditional medicinal uses, despite often being mistakenly blamed for allergies (ragweed is the real culprit). These easy-to-grow plants thrive in sunny spots across North America and beyond, offering vibrant fall color and valuable habitat

This Moʻai figure will cause a small wind storm if he is allowed to sneeze. Off to Costco for some bulk Claratin.
This face was actually being transported in a pick-up truck to a party on Vancouver Island.

Perhaps a bitter pill to swallow. Grand daughter Livia is allergic to the dog, so anytime she is over she needs help with that. When got them out I said...."wait a sec" and got the camera.

This is my first photo taken with my new Nikkor 200-500 mm lens. Impressed so far.
The other day, I took a little longer than usual getting out of the car when I got home from work. For some reason, I didn't swing the car door wide open like I normally do - and lucky thing. Jimmy was sitting on the pavement right there next to the car waiting for me to get out. On a cold, windy winter day, I had no idea there would be anyone waiting outside to welcome me home. What a true friend.
On a different note - if you zoom in, you can see the scabs around Jimmy's left eye. He has since gotten a long lasting steroid injection that should give his skin some relief for 2-3 months. I hate what steroids can do to the rest of his body but they sure do clear up his skin.
Both my wife and I have been having running noses since last week. When we walked across this canyon, we figured out why.

AKA Mountain Cedar, as in cedar "fever", the seasonal allergy that afflicts so many Central Texans...
ELS 501 sits north of Green Bay awaiting a down tree to be removed on a warm summer day. The tracks are covered in a weed called ragweed on the ELS mainly between Crivitz and Green Bay making for some mighty sinus problems.

As you may know, Jimmy has allergies to all sorts of unknown things and is currently having severe reactions. I took these pictures the day before yesterday when I brought him to work. He'd already had a long-acting steroid injection three weeks earlier that was supposed to give him some relief for three months. He got a second, shorter-acting steroid injection that day. So far, there is possibly a little improvement to his skin but not as much as any of us were hoping for.
The area between the ears and the eyes is a common place for cats to have lesions associated with food allergies. I have recently added wet food to the cats' diet because I'm trying to help Jimmy and Mack lose weight to decrease their chances of becoming diabetic. Food is something I've tried to control very carefully for most of their lives specifically because of Jimmy's allergies to who-knows-what, but because of a miscommunication, I thought the wet food we were adding had already been "tested" in the past and hadn't caused any problems for him. This turns out not to be the case. Cross your fingers that something as simple as cutting out all food other than the Hill's C/D and T/D that Jimmy has been eating for years will be the solution to this latest allergic reaction!
I inserted the close up of Jimmy's sores so you wouldn't have to see them full size. The lesions are between the eyes and the ears which is why you don't see them when looking at Jimmy straight on.
Only recently started suffering with these nasty allergies Omg don't they make your eyes run, your nose itch and then someone gives you flowers, you smile politely say thank you then and dash for the antihistamines and a box of tissues lol
This was going to be a joint post with Starr but things went wrong so here I am suffering on my own..
