“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…”

If my last Flickr photo - the owl - was the sublime, then this can only be the grotesque.
The (in)famous Northern Pulp Mill at Abercrombie, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
A juvenile rock beauty (holacanthus tricolor) in front of mountainous star coral (orbicella faveolata).
Rock beauties are teases. They are relatively numerous, obviously easy to spot and they allow for a somewhat close approach, but not as close as you would like for an underwater shot as they often turn away or duck into a crack at the last moment. This juvenile wasn't as skittish as a typical adult. Unlike many other fish, juvenile rock beauties look like what they will become as they age, but maybe more of a red accent on the dorsal and anal fins.
It is a challenge to get a clean background underwater. Here, the rock beauty is posing in front of a large mountainous star coral. Unfortunately, there is a good chance this coral is dead now. This image was taken earlier this year. We returned to this site in the summer and much to our disappointment, probably 1/3 of the hard corals, if not more, were dead.
I don't know if it was "just" coral bleaching or due to disease, such as the stony coral tissue loss disease (first identified in FL in 2014, bit.ly/3fBTIEt), but it was very deflating to see it happen at a site that had so many magnificent and massive hard corals. Mountainous star coral is listed as "endangered" by IUCN.
Hi my name is Cherish and I'm addicted to PINK...it's like a disease ! Just say'n ! ;)

American Bison
The American Bison or simply Bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American Buffalo or simply Buffalo, is an American species of Bison that once roamed North America in vast herds. Its historical range, by 9000 BC, is described as the Great Bison Belt, a tract of rich grassland that ran from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, east to the Atlantic Seaboard (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas) as far north as New York and south to Georgia and, according to some sources, further south to Florida, with sightings in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750. It nearly became extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle. With a population more than 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was down to just 541 animals by 1889. Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century, with a resurgence to roughly 31,000 wild Bison today, largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves. Through multiple reintroductions, the species is now also freely roaming wild in some regions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with it also being introduced to Yakutia in Russia.

Griffon Vulture adult flight_w_ (Gyps fulvus)-6538
Like other vultures, it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies in cliffs that are undisturbed by humans while coverage of open areas and availability of dead animals within dozens of kilometres of these cliffs is high. These huge birds grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion.
In many cultures around the world, particularly in Western societies, vultures are viewed with disdain. Commonly, people tend to look down on these birds as dirty, ugly, and unhygienic, failing to recognise their importance. People of other cultures, however, hold the vulture in high regard. This is true with the inhabitants of the Tibetan plateau, where vultures are part of traditional funerary customs. In this culture, people are not buried after death as a means of controlling preventable infectious diseases. Instead, the dead are laid to rest in the sky. Monks prepare the bodies of the deceased and set them on platforms to draw the attention of nearby vultures. The vultures discover these human bodies, ingesting them and carrying them off into the sky. Many people view this as one final good deed as the deceased is able to offer something to another living creature before going off to rest in the sky. This practice is not unique to Tibet, however. Historical evidence suggests it has been practiced by cultures around the world for over 11,000 years.
The maximum recorded lifespan of the griffon vulture is 41.4 years for an individual in captivity
This is the third rework for one of the picture i have already made for the International Symposium of Contemporary Art of Milan (15-22 May 2011), about the mental disease and solidarity. At the events, workshops and activities were some artists coming from all europe, expressing their art in different disciplines: photography, painting, sculpture ....At the end of it there were some exhibitions in different locations in Milan and arounds of the most significative artworks.

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"
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."

Alzheimer's Disease is often referred to as ' the long goodbye '.
It is Alzheimer's Awareness Day here tomorrow. This is my humble offering, dedicated to those who know and perhaps love someone suffering from this cruel disease.
The Long Goodbye
You see my face, you see a stranger there,
I put the rosary in your hands,
I brush your hair.
I fix your bed and plump the pillows
and you smile;
‘Are you the Doctor?’ no Dad, it’s me.
And we continue on,
to be,
the best that we can be.
Another day,
another chapter in the Long Goodbye.

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…
Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent reason of dementia that has inflicted an approximate 5.3 million individuals in the United States.

Another frosty morning yesterday's a. chance to grab a. couple of melting frost shots at coffee break. The frosty bracken fronds were the closest thing to where we were working , and gave . wonderful sparkly subject. A Heart Disease Called Love is by John Cooper Clarke.
** Bring me your desire, 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 in ecstasy
I can smell your sickness, I can cure ya (Cure)
Cure your disease **

Exclusive REBORN EVENT (SET/2025)
Ringo and Karen found The Blue Day Book and are planning to read together this morning.
"Smile on Saturday" group challenge this week is "Blue for You - ME 2019", in awareness of two difficult diseases.
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.

graças a essa merda de doença que eu tive e a cirurgia que tive que fazer, eu só transpiro (em dobro) do lado esquerdo.
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.
I set about to take a photograph of my clock's hands forming triangles, but the feeling of dread of the coming virus overtook me. I decided to add distortion to my image because my normal sense of time is skewed. I feel as if time is crawling at an agonizing slow pace. The resulting image didn't have the impact I envisioned so I added a texture layer to imbue the photograph with the effect of contagion. Be safe, everyone.
