Orchids are known for their fragrance and are widely used in perfumes and aromatherapy. Vanilla extract, a commonly used flavor enhancer in sweets and baked goods, is actually derived from the Vanilla orchid plant. The orchid has medicinal applications as well. In China, the orchid has been cultivated for thousands of years, and is used as a natural remedy for coughs, diseases of the kidney, lung, stomach and eye. Orchids are also believed to be powerful aphrodisiacs, and many cultures including Greece and China eat the bulbs for this purpose.

The cough mother chapel in Postmünster an der Rott, it was built in 1748. People with sore throats and coughs used to make pilgrimages to the chapel and hoped for recovery. That's where the name comes from.

Wheatear bringing up a pellet 🤔 Never seen this before and happy to be corrected. Only noticed it going through shots once home. Sadly i missed the head shake and dispersal.

What a treat to be able to combine wildlife and landscape photography! Alpine coughs are part of the crow family. They pair for life, may nest at higher altitudes than any other bird and they quite like my cereal bars!

Looking out from Old Parliament House into the smoke haze from bush fires. Canberra. On a clear day you can easily see across the lake, past the Australian War Memorial building and the hills beyond.

Today’s theme for the Macro Monday’s group is MEDICAL. This is a photo of the top of a small bottle of cough mixture.

Thanks for visiting.

HMM.....

Thanks for all the faves and kind comments!

Macro Mondays: "Heart"

COVID finally caught me last week. I got great care and have gotten past most of the cold/flu symptoms. This simple over-the-counter cough drop was a staple in the first few days of the infection. A little heart shaped bokeh for effect.

Thanks to all who comment or mark as a favorite it really is much appreciated.

Or as we would say in Norfolk, suck one when you have a bad tizzick.

Government has declared an end to most of the anti-Covid-19 guidelines during the next couple of weeks. Apparently there's less coughing...

Tussilago down through the millennia has served as an antidote to coughing as indeed its name suggests. But it does apparently wreak havoc on the liver. So it must be used with caution.

I've posted an earlier picture of our Sunny plant from Groningen (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/8650629309/in/photolis...). This one though was taken yesterday in Shaffy's Tuin here in Amsterdam.

Got to Burnaby Lake to see the Sandhill Crane pair and their colt. The youngster seemed to have what I can only describe as an open mouthed cough. Though he was feeding and exploring it seems a concern, hopefully it passes,

...cough!...

Puerile I know, but can you think of a better title?

Not terribly anatomically correct either.

Coughing up a pellet while feeding on a rat

"I coughed a lot last night and kept both my mom and me up lots of the night. So I got zoomed off to see Dr. Bahou at 9 a.m. He touched my throat without permission and so I hacked a big cough at him. He said, 'Yes, Bordetella - AKA Kennel Cough'.

Really? I don't go to kennels or even to the dog park because I eat tennis balls. So now I have to take a pill twice a day which is hidden in something yummy. I can easily work it around and spit it out but then it gets put on the back of my tongue and I have to swallow. Ugh!

The worst part is no playing with Gracie for 10 days!! That's right, 10 days! I'm upset and will not look at that camera, just going to sit here with my favorite toy and look unhappy."

(Cough, cough, cough!)

There is nothing to match the air of expectation with the orchestra assembled and the audience seated. The murmurs, the occasional cough, the final hush - then glorious music!

My Grandfather had a bad cough, but he smoked cigars. The teacher shakes his head as this was not the answer he was looking for.

It looks like we will have two weeks for some Quaffing.... Ontario is going to be in lockdown.

They cough up pellets which are food that was indigestible

Coughing up a pellet

Eastbound C&O No. 794 is working the RF&P interchange at Doswell, VA on July 9, 1979 with three GEs. When throttling up to pull ahead, the second unit, U25B No. 8104 coughed up a sizable fur ball. There wouldn't be many more. Within two months No. 8104 would be retired and set aside at Clifton Forge. Eventually it would be traded to GE and scrapped. It wasn't as lucky as some of its brethren, which went on to a second life in Mexico.

It took me a while to figure out what to shoot for this challenge. I only carry keys, wallet, and phone. But I do carry cough drops in my jackets, so this will have to do. Black acrylic sheet and lit with window light.
