This gecko kept a cautious eye on me as it hugged this banana leaf.
This is my second shot for the weekly theme of "contact," the second of four themes with which Myla Kent and I have chosen to challenge ourselves.
I like the large version of this one.
I found Fidget lying in the pasture yesterday afternoon, unable to get up, wagging her tail weakly as I hurried over. She was one sick doggie.
We lifted her into the Jeep and took her to the emergency vet clinic a couple of towns south of us.
After hours of tests and rule-outs, it turned out that she had a galloping urinary tract infection. She improved enormously within a few hours of starting on Bactrim.
Back home, I made her a fresh haypile in the pasture, and she tucked right in. It's what she wants when she's not feeling well.
Fidget has had a rough year, but she's always a good soldier and a sweet, stoic patient. She's seen above giving Molly a smooch this afternoon. Later she licked Molly's face as M was pressing the plunger of her allergy shot.
She's four-and-a-half years old.
Portrait of a patient with end stage renal disease on chronic hemodialysis that I have the privilege of taking care of. Taken after her treatment in a small office with a large window giving reflected morning light from the parking lot. (see more portraits on "ckd_awareness1" on my Instagram)

May every landscape bring beauty to your lives; and may you always be aware of what, where, or who in your own life brings it color!
Happy Thanksgiving!

While many of these people wouldn't proclaim themselves artists, I like to refer visitors of my photostream to some awesome photos that exist in others'. Please visit my favorites from other flickr artists. These people are amazing, and most photos are of places like this.
After a somewhat traumatic journey overnight from Katwa we arrived at New Jalpaiguri to find the early morning departure to Darjeeling had long gone. We quickly negotiated with a nearby taxi driver for the hire of his taxi for the day. He seemed to be aware of exactly what we needed, a fee was agreed, and off we set in hot pursuit. He was a good guy and we were able to catch the little train up before Tindharia. Here the train is passing through the town of Mahanadi, after a loco change at Tindharia. Loco is 'B' class No. 782, A Sharp Stewart product of 1899. The train is the 07.15 from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling.
A pair of bighorn sheep are seen near Gardiner, Montana just outside the park boundary of Yellowstone National Park.
The Crespi Lacrosse team is walking around their home track on February 14th to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. My boyfriend Blake Gaytan who is on the team told me about their cause and I really think what they are doing is an amazing thing. I along with the Lacrosse team as well as many other participants am going to also walk for this cause. Since I know that all of you cannot be there to walk with us I would really love if you could visit the following website to get more information and pledge.

i decided to delete the other one because this one is not as dark and bleak looking...and i think it has more of a symbolic message of hope. so in case you didn't see the other one and you have no idea what this is about. i'm interning at a battered women's shelter this semester and i'm helping them put together a course to educate emergency workers on what the signs of domestic violence are. i wanted to find a good intro image. this is a combination of two images.

The white rhinoceros, white rhino or square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The white rhinoceros consists of two subspecies: the southern white rhinoceros, with an estimated 19,682–21,077 wild-living animals in the year 2015, and the much rarer northern white rhinoceros. The northern subspecies has very few remaining individuals, with only two confirmed left in 2018 (two females: Fatu, 18 and Najin, 29), both in captivity. Sudan, the world's last known male Northern white rhinoceros, died in Kenya on 19 March 2018 at age 45.
With this series of images I'm hoping to raise awareness of mental health and stop the stigma, when it comes to mental illnesses. Stay strong!
I was scouting out some vantage points at Ocean beach today when I saw someone sitting very very still for long periods of time out by the water. The marine layer was kind of blah today, but the sound of the surf and the sight of the huge rocks in the distance made for a very entrancing scene, so I can understand why someone would choose to meditate in this setting.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.
Where there is awareness there is hope .
When I was 17 years old my whole world was shattered because my
dear Mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The Doctor told her
she had come just in time and that if she had waited just 6 more months
it could have been too late to help her. My Mother endured chemotherapy,
and radiotherapy. She lost her hair, self-confidence and her left breast.
It is because of this very traumatic chapter in my life that I am today a nurse
at Stavanger University Hospital, Norway.
Cancer is a heavy and huge diagnosis for a patient and their family to accept.
There are a couple of big problems, in my opinion, that largely affect many people adversely. The first, as I see it, is the small number of Prevention Campaigns there are. More of these campaigns could educate and push people to use the methods and take the time to self-check themselves routinely. In many cases patients with various types of cancer the time and experience of the treatments can be fairly easy and effective if they are diagnosed in time. Another problem area I see is that
people wait too long to seek medical attention and then they must face the trauma when it's too late. I would also like to point out that it is a misconception that men do not develop breast cancer when in fact, men are equally confronted with it. It is unclear why this subject remains somewhat "taboo" still to today.
I am representing 2 organizations with this challenge. They are Breast Cancer Prevention (www.cancer.org) and Cherries On Top (shop.cherriesontop.org/). Cherries On Top is a globally targeted fund raising organization for research support and information campaigns in all types of cancer that affects Kids, Men and Women. I would like to plan an event to benefit both of these great causes. My plan on how to make this happen would involve friends of mine that are Second Life Voice Entertainers,
DJs, Designers, Agency Owners, Bloggers, and Models. Anyone and everyone I can ask to help I would try to secure for to make charity concerts, shows and other ideas that may come to mind. If these things can save someone's life it's worth whatever it takes to make it happen.
Today 17 babies will die, the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This is a statistic that is seeing no signs of decreasing, and behind each number is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
This shocking figure, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century. Yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.
At Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, we feel this number of deaths is totally unacceptable. We have launched the Why17? campaign to raise awareness of this devastating loss and to ask the question:
“Why are 17 babies a day dying and what can be done to halt this national tragedy?”
“I just want to raise awareness of stillbirth. I had no idea that this could happen to me
