The Rhododendron leafhopper was introduced into Europe from North America (where it is known as the 'Scarlet and Green Leafhopper') in the 1900s.
It is one of the few insects that feed on Rhododendrons. They carry and are responsible for spreading a fungal disease which may stop them from flowering.

“I'm not going down on my knees begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery and torture for me?
When I'm misunderstood, try as hard as you can
I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me
Here is a plea from my heart to you
Nobody knows me as well as you do
You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these
Understand me…”

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
A friend with Alzheimer’s disease, looking out over the land she inherited from her father, and trying to remember. Sadly, she is just a shadow of her former self.
Yeah, now the work force is disgusted, downs tools, walks
Innocence is injured, experience just talks
Everyone seeks damages, everyone agrees that
These are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze
On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
Philosophy is useless, theology is worse
History boils over, there's an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean "industrial disease"
The vet said it squawk should pass squawk and it is not uncommon squawk ..then told me to go and sit on the fence and enjoy my seed..LOL squawk.
Alright brian go and take 3 asprin and lie down HAHAHAHAHA squawk !!!!!
I'm rather proud of the Aussie response to Covid-19. Even so, I've spent too long in isolation as this little ditty sprang into my head, to the tune of Australia's national anthem, 'Advance Australia Fair': www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQyiZNZaj00
"Australians all let us rejoice
For we are Covid free,
We've golden soil & free health for toil
Our home 'aint dirt by "C";
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of diseases we are rare,
On pandemic's stage, let every page
Advance Australia Fair,
In healthy strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair."
** Screamin' for me, baby
Like you wanna die
Poison on the inside
I could be your antidote tonight
I could play the doctor
I can cure your disease
If you were a sinner
I could make you believe
Lay you down like one, two, three
Eyes roll back with ecstasy
I can smell your sickness
I can cure ya **

I’ve had this image sitting on the shelf for a while now. I had a theme in mind when I set up the shot but there is something about this image that has just not been working for me.
I like the colours in the sky. I like the smooth but slightly rippled finish on the water. I even like the turbines and I’ve deliberately kept in the power masts and the stacks from the refinery over the hill but I can’t get my head around that grungy mess of a pier. I’m so accustomed to trying to keep all the elements in an image balanced and appealing, like a good landscape should be, that this just doesn't seem right but you know if you change your perspective then interesting can work too. I started to think about the juxtaposition of the beautiful colour of the sky and water being put in comparison to the desolation of the broken pier. If you think about the image as an impression of industrial decay amidst the beauty of nature then I begin to see the appeal.
Please feel free to give me some feedback if you think the combination works or is just a bunch of pretentious crap. I’m thick skinned and I won’t be upset if you want to be honest. Well, hopefully not too upset…
What there is to say? I love medicine, i love the ability to heal, to aid people, the knowledge about human body and the responsability in taking desitions that can change a person's life.I just enjoy Med School, I want to be a better doctor, i WANT to, i dont feel obligated to be one... and that feels good.

The African wild dog (Lycaon pictus), also known as African hunting dog, African painted dog, painted hunting dog, or painted wolf, is a canid native to Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the largest of its family in Africa, and the only extant member of the genus Lycaon, which is distinguished from Canis by its fewer toes and its dentition, which is highly specialised for a hypercarnivorous diet.
It is classified as endangered by the IUCN, as it has disappeared from much of its original range. The current population has been estimated at roughly 39 subpopulations containing 6,600 adults, only 1,400 of which are fully grown. The decline of these populations is ongoing, due to habitat fragmentation, human persecution, and disease outbreaks.
The African wild dog is a highly social animal, living in packs with separate dominance hierarchies for males and females. Uniquely among social carnivores, it is the females rather than the males that scatter from the natal pack once sexually mature, and the young are allowed to feed first on carcasses.
The species is a specialized diurnal hunter of antelopes, which it catches by chasing them to exhaustion. Like other canids, it regurgitates food for its young, but this action is also extended to adults, to the point of being the bedrock of African wild dog social life. It has few natural predators, though lions are a major source of mortality, and spotted hyenas are frequent kleptoparasites. – Wikipedia
My mom has Alzheimer's Disease. Today she was sad, I think. I'm not sure where she was at the time; maybe lost! She came back to us before we had to leave, and had a smile on her face when we told her we would be back soon. Please support Alzheimer's Research if you are able. Too late for my mom, but hopefully will save someone else's in the future. Love you MOM!
If you say the word, "vaccine," in the United States today, many of us will turn off our thinking brain and revert to slogans we read on social media.
When you see a compound femur fracture, you recognize the harm. There's a bone fragment sticking out of this person's leg. It may be less visible but people who treat infectious diseases know the harm caused. They see patients every day who would have been better off if they had not contracted the disease. Medical treatment costs money. There's lost productivity. There are medical bankrupcies. Poor management of infectious disease is expensive. Indirectly, we all pay for these costs.
I claim, vaccine availability is part of a road that leads from developing country status to industrialized nation status. On the developing country side, where vacines cannot be had, you face higher mortality rates. Your grandchildren will die preventable deaths. We'll miss them a lot. They won't grow up to be friends and to be the great talents who solve our nation's problems. On the industrialized side, fewer grandchildren die. If you willfully go to the developing country side, it's an uphill battle to get back to 2024.

We're still treating Darla's kidney disease with subcutaneious fluids and a special diet. Although she doesn't look too happy here, she is doing fantastic. The strange thing is that Darla has never been that interested in any kind of food but I don't know if its the fluids or the special diet, but she's the first one running to the bowl lately.
In recovery I can look back and reflect.. I can remember the worst of times & how I felt. And I never ever want to EVER FORGET that feeling! Remembering that feeling.. My position I was in.. etc. is what keeps me grateful, every single day!
For some, it is easy to forget how bad it was.. once you're doing better & sit back and glamourize all of the "good times"... which were NOT good times. But your addict mind will tell you that they were great times. Perhaps because at that moment, that was a good time to you... in a horrible / hellish world that you lived in every day.
I make sure to remind myself (almost) every day.
...What do I remember? - You ask.
I remember the pain.. The wishing it would all just end.. even if that meant dying. I remember crying, and laying there so sick & dirty. I remember sleeping outside in the rain and the snow. (yes outside, under a boardwalk). Snow was fine, until it melted.. I remember that. Rain was the worst.. and even worse under the boardwalk.. because it fell in sheets (not drops).. thru the cracks. I remember getting lucky and finding a tarp with a dead cat in it.. (i'm not even joking). And it smelled so bad. But my ex decided IN NOVEMBER or DECEMBER to go clean it IN THE OCEAN.. Freezing. But he got the dead cat's guts out.. and most of the smell.. that way we had something to put over top of us when it rained.
*I can't believe I just remembered that*.
I remember people talking about, "in 2020" and I'm like, "I'll never make it past 23" "Wow I'm 23, I'll never make it to 25" etc.
Now I'm 34 with over 2 years sober. And so grateful.
I can open up.
I have to be transparent and truthful with everything.. if I ever want to reach out and really touch someone.. and show them it is possible.
People who see me now have said, "Wow, Jess... You're doing amazing, I'm so proud of you. YOU ARE PROOF!! IF YOU CAN GET OUT OF THAT LIFE, ANYONE CAN!!!"
Yes, anyone can get better.
You have to truly want it first.
& Yes, you may say, "yes I want it" but you need the drug more.
... It's not time, for you yet.
And I hope you make it thru to tomorrow.. because maybe tomorrow will be your day.
If you know someone struggling.. Know that you cannot help them. They have to want it. And help themselves.
They have to hit bottom. Or "their bottom". And really make a decision. Like I did, that one day.. when I looked at Juan.. and thought to myself, I'm killing the man that I love.
That was it.
I pray for all of you out there still struggling. I hope you know that you're not alone. And if you ever need to talk, about anything.. I'm here -just message me.
You can be addicted to anything (its a mental thing) the drug is just a symptom of the disease.... I have an addict personality.. So I can get addicted to anything.. and I take it to the extremes with everything I do.. So I have to TRY to set boundaries.. and find HEALTHY addictions.. Like photographs.. and sharing my story.
Just because you're not sitting in an alley with a needle in your arm, doesn't mean you're NOT an addict.
It all starts (for MOST OF THEM) with prescription pills FROM THEIR DOCTOR. (every single addiction you see/hear about) ALL STARTED WITH A DOCTOR VISIT!
Keep that in mind...
Alcohol.. that's a drug.
Food can be a drug.
Sex.
Gambling.
Porn.
Shopping.
Working.
I could go on and on.
So it's good to try to choose healthy addictions if you can. & If you can look at yourself and think, "wow I'm not addicted to drugs, but I'm addicted to porn & shopping".. then be very careful.
VERY CAREFUL.
Because like I said, the drug is just a symptom to the disease.
The disease of addiction.
You may feel like there is NO WAY OUT..
But believe me when I promise you,
There IS a way out. & It's amazing over here! I wake up and go to bed every day GRATEFUL! No every day is perfect, but I get to choose the way I deal with it.. instead of just using. And that's amazing.
Have a beautiful night everyone.
