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!

Our cat coughed up something strange today.
It wasn’t anything a regular cat ought to be coughing up, not by a long stretch. I don’t think any regular cat has ever coughed up anything quite as strange as what our cat coughed up today.
But our cat isn't special. She is gray like an afternoon shadow and has yellow eyes. There are cats and cats and cats just like our cat, and yet our cat coughed up the strange thing, and none of the other cats ever did, so far as we know.
What this means to me, is that strange things happen in ordinary contexts. I would even go as far as saying that’s what makes them strange. In a sense, had our cat been strange, a weird cat, it would have been quite logical for her to cough up something strange, it would have been expected of her. She’d probably go around coughing up strange things all day, and we’d just shrug and say oh isn’t our cat so weird? But that’s not what we said, in this instance.
My wife said, “we gotta take her to the vet.”
I said, “oh god, what is that thing?”
Ordinary cats cough up hairballs. They look miserable when they do it, they make this terrible face, and this sound, uarghhhh, like it’s the worst thing that has ever happened to them, and maybe it is.
Our cat made that face, and the sound, but what came out was by no means a hairball.
We were having dinner, in the living room, we were having a pasta carbonara dish, when our cat entered the room. She walked to the center of it, where she sat up in the yellow lamp light. There was a tentative expression on her face, like she had been mulling something over all day, straining her little cat brain, gears churning, then she went ahead and coughed up the thing.
“Uarghhhh,” said the cat.
“Oh god, what is that thing?” I said.
“We gotta take her to the vet,” my wife said.
The thing our cat coughed up said nothing.
Instead, it blinked its large, watery eyes at us, and smiled.

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.

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.
The image is about 5 cm (2 inches) on the long edge.
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.

Coltsfoot is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads by seeds and rhizomes. Tussilago is often found in colonies of dozens of plants. The flowers, which superficially resemble dandelions, appear in early spring before dandelions appear. The leaves, which resemble a colt's foot in cross section, do not appear usually until after the seeds are set. Thus, the flowers appear on stems with no apparent leaves, and the later appearing leaves then wither and die during the season without seeming to set flowers. The plant is typically 10–30 cm in height. The leaves have angular teeth on their margins
Tussilago/Coltsfoot is a plant in the groundsel tribe in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to Europe and parts of western and central Asia. It has had uses in traditional medicine. The name "tussilago" is derived from the Latin tussis, meaning cough, and ago, meaning to cast or to act on. However, the discovery of toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the plant has resulted in liver health concerns.
Het klein hoefblad (Tussilago farfara) is een circa 30 cm hoge vaste plant, behorend tot de composietenfamilie (Asteraceae).
De bloeitijd ligt vroeg, gewoonlijk in maart en april, bij gunstig weer reeds in februari. De plant behoort tot de naaktbloeiers, de bladeren verschijnen pas na de bloei. Tijdens de bloei zijn de bladeren beperkt tot korte, groene of rode schubjes langs de stengel. Na de bloei ontwikkelen deze zich tot hartvormig of ronde en getande bladeren. Deze, aan de onderkant viltig behaarde bladeren staan in een rozetvormige krans rond de steel.
De plant is een pioniersplant die zich vooral op nieuwe gronden goed thuis voelt, vaak kan men hem tussen grassen in betrekkelijk nieuwe wegbermen of hellingen aantreffen. Op deze hellingen helpt de tot 1,5 m lange wortelstok en de uitlopers hieraan om de grond vast te houden.
De botanische naam Tussilago is afgeleid van tussis = hoesten en agere = verdrijven. De plant is dan ook gebruikt als hoestverdrijvend middel en tegen neuralgische aandoeningen.
De plant wordt als artsenijplant geteeld vanwege zijn slijm-, looi- en bitterstoffen, tannine, dextrine en bactericide stoffen. De bladeren worden gebruikt als omslagen bij gewrichts- en reumatische aandoeningen.
De Romeinen gebruikten de plant als genotmiddel door deze te roken in pijpjes.
*Cough cough*
Now continuing from my previous photos caption.
"I imagine the rays of lights are the angels of the interwebs coming to collect Flickrs long lost...dead soul. "
The angles of light have also come for my many long lost...long dead followers. Are you still here? Seriously.
Without water
these waves
stand silent.
The bell and howl
of sound
on cold, cold ground
the echo of
crow calls on
canyon walls
breach the most deaf
ear
that hasn't heard
anything except
tinnitus
for years.
Try and find
your way out of
here
by following her
voice
croaking
coughing
cautioning
calling
cacophonous
from some unknown
place.
Or
just follow
a vein
with no small
remnant of
rivulet
or stream
until it opens
to the sea.
With currents,
you see,
gain is always
greater than loss
in trying to reach
an end.
I felt obligated to choose these lozenges by "Fisherman's Friends" as my subject for Macro Mondays theme this week, "medications." I have had THE cough for the past week and nothing has helped. A friend told me about these lozenges for cough and sore throat and they were true heroes in providing relief. They look like cookies up close but each lozenge is about 3/4".
I always enjoy a trip over to Dartmoor in order to try and photograph some of the autumn colours. This year I planned two new locations on the north eastern side of the moor.
Excited as ever my two companions Hoof🐎 and Horace🐷 were on it like a rash, like many they are trying to reduce their carbon footprint and in doing so have firstly been bottling up their botty coughs💨💨 instead of letting the wind blow free so to speak and sending this gas off to the recycling facility, poor recycling centre operatives🙈.
Secondly H & H have been putting their engineering backgrounds to good use and have built themselves an electric car powered by old washing machine motors they have collected, a form of upcycling you could say🚙.
Car loaded off we went, Horace at the helm of the electric car, all was going well, we crossed the boarder from Cornwall into Devon without being challenged. Just about to take the road to our first location the electric car ground to a shuddering halt😱.
Horace looked embarrassed, Hoof laughed, I asked Horace watt (oh dear) he thought the problem was, Horace responded “I didn’t realise the journey was as far, we are going to need a longer cable.
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, the comments and banter are so appreciated, have a lovely weekend.

"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."
On my last visit to Tierpark Sababurg I decided to spend some time with my special (and favourite) friends the meerkats. As usual they were very busy and all over the place with only the sentry sitting in a somewhat photogenic spot, but even he was completely preoccupied watching the kids' train ride
Since he couldn't be bothered to look in my direction I went for a little gamble, prefocussed on his neck and started to make all kinds of noise to get his attention. Of course, nothing worked. I coughed, clicked my tongue, stamped my foot, jangled my keys, all to no avail. But then I accidentally pressed the shutter release button and took an empty frame and his head shot round, giving me the shot I had hoped for. :o)

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.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
The saying has certainly had some meaning for me this year. After a lovely week down on the Coast at Lymington in the New Forest, I returned back home refreshed. However, by Monday evening, I said to my wife."I think I'm coming down with something" I had a headache, which is unusual for me and a bit of a cough! The following morning I felt even worse and did a Covid test, but was negative. So perhaps a bit of man flu, I presumed.
The 15th of March is the "Ides of March" in the Old Roman Calendar and as the day went on I went steadily downhill and overnight I did another Covid test which confirmed the worst!!
Anyway, sat feeling distinctly under the weather in my sick chair, I watched the sky outside at dusk starting to get really interesting. I didn't feel like getting up out of the chair, let alone getting the camera and tripod out. BUT the sky was awesome, so I staggered achingly into the garden and took this shot, before being ordered sternly and severely back to my sick chair by my live in carer!!!
So this is my "Ides of March" shot. The lengths we go to when confronted with a shot opportunity!!
And yeah, that's a York University shirt ..
I'm very educatonally confused ..
Harvard shirt on Tuesday, UBC shirt on Wednesday, McMaster shirt on Thursday and now a York shirt on Friday.
OH YEA, Try not to be TOO jealous *cough* Azure *cough* of how I didn't even check to see if my fly was zipped or not .. *sigh* I'm a loser and I'm pretty dumb.
Oh how I look like a whale in the first picture. Seriously, today's 365 was an epic failure.

I was watching this female Kingfisher as it sat quite quietly . I decided to put on the 2x converter to see how it stood up quality wise on the 600. Just as I switched the camera back on and refocused on her, she started acting very strange....... well I thought, it is a female lol. Then all of a sudden she regurgitated this huge fish pellet. I knew they did such things, but had never seen it before !!
