“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…”

Thank you, virtual friends, Flickr staff working from home, and to the unseen tulip fields. Next year, I hope we can visit.
But we're grateful we ordered and planted so many bulbs last fall in two containers, able to see from indoors. (I took this outside in grass pollen.)
Hope you're healthy...and wise about keeping your distance. Please protect your family, your loved ones, your friends, yourself. Practice social distancing. Please don’t be in places with a lot of people. This disease is deadly.

Born in 1776, William John Bankes was as a young man an aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington and became an active Member of Parliament.
While in residence at Kingston Lacy, William John made many changes, including the installation of the Egyptian obelisk that may be seen in the gardens to this day. One of the first things he did was to plant a beech avenue lining the road from near the house’s entrance drive to beyond Badbury Rings. The road was a turnpike, and the Bankes family enjoyed the revenue from it. The avenue was a birthday gift to William John’s mother, Frances, and there were 365 trees on one side of the road for each day of the year and 366 on the other, for a leap year.
Today the road is the B3082, the main route between Wimborne and Blandford. The trees are not surprisingly showing signs of age and disease. The National Trust have so far replaced some seventy of them with hornbeams, which are just as attractive but are better able to withstand the disadvantages of being alongside a busy road.

Warning: Poisonous parts include milky sap from leaves, stems. Toxic only in large quantities.
The Common Milkweed is the plant that most people associate with the word “milkweed”. This is a tall and conspicuous species that sometimes forms large clones. The umbels bear large balls of pink to purplish flowers that have an attractive odor. This species is known to form hybrids with both A. exaltata (in the east) and A. speciosa (in the west). Follicles split open in the fall and early winter dispensing wind borne seeds. Among the milkweeds, this species is the best at colonizing in disturbed sites. Within its range it can be found in a broad array of habitats from croplands, to pastures, roadsides, ditches and old fields. It is surprisingly rare in prairies in the Midwest being found mostly in disturbed sites within these habitats. As an indigenous species of the southern Great Plains, it has all the attributes of what some ecologists call a “fugitive species”. That is, one whose appearance and persistence is dependent on disturbance due to its inability to compete with other vegetation. In the northern parts of its range it seems to be a more permanent member of the floral communities.
The plant contains cardiac glycosides, allied to digitalins used in treating some heart disease. These glycosides, when absorbed by monarch butterfly larvae whose sole source of food is milkweed foliage, make the larvae and adult butterflies toxic to birds and other predators.
This is up near our towns dump. The factory is called Paris Kitchens. Some of the old plant has been falling down for years. I will show you that next week.
Happy Window Wednesday
or perhaps Wall Wednesday....lol

I'm off to Cowbridge today to meet my daughters Rebecca and Jennifer who want to see my exhibition before it closes tomorrow. I've been quite surprised how my wildlife photos and watercolours have sold, perhaps I should have shown more. It won't be too long now till the Small Pearl Bordered Fritillaries start flying. I remember walking with Sue and seeing these two Small pearls on a Salad Burnet flower head , catching the last light before roosting. It was the first time I'd found Small pearl bordered fritillaries at roost , and taught men a lot about their behaviour. A Heart Disease Called Love is by John Cooper Clarke. I really hope this year will have good numbers of fritillaries, especially High Browns.

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"

Dutch Elm Disease. I think this is the artistic, spider-like damage caused by the larvae of the elm bark beetle.
From the Woodland Trust - This now infamous tree disease has killed millions of elm trees in the UK over the last 50 years. It’s changed parts of our landscape forever. Dutch elm disease is caused by the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi which is spread by elm bark beetles. It got its name from the team of Dutch pathologists who carried out research on the disease in the 1920s.
Floral Friday
Repeat flowering Agapanthus for up to 6 months of the year.
The small window of flowering for an Agapanthus plant often hinders its popularity among landscape professionals. This has changed with Ozbreed’s repeat mass flowering Agapanthus varieties.
These gorgeous plants produce masses of bright and colourful flowers in spring and summer, as well as sporadically throughout the year, including in mild winters .
Agapanthus varieties are designed to be tough enough to brave the Australian landscape, with good disease resistance, and drought and frost tolerance.
The Quarai Mission and Convent were established in 1626. Its founding was overseen by Fray Juan Gutierrez de la Chica. Construction began on Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Quarai in 1627 and continued through 1632. A combination of disease, drought, famine, and continued Apache raids led to the abandonment of Quarai in 1678.
Originally created for deer hunting, Richmond Park now has 630 red and fallow deer that roam freely within much of the park. A cull takes place each November and February to ensure numbers can be sustained about 200 deer are culled annually and the meat is sold to licensed game dealers.Some deer are also killed in road accidents, through ingesting litter such as small items of plastic, or by dogs; three deer were killed by dogs in 2012.Many of the deer in Richmond Park are infected with a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi which can be transmitted to humans through a tick bite, causing Lyme disease.
The park is an important refuge for other wildlife, including woodpeckers, squirrels, rabbits, snakes, frogs, toads, stag beetles and many other insects plus numerous ancient trees and varieties of fungi. It is particularly notable for its rare beetles.
Richmond Park supports a large population of what are believed to be ring-necked (or rose-ringed) parakeets. These bred from birds that escaped or were freed from captivity.
I have been weeks away from this man. I met him when Sheree and I were in Rhode Island. He was standing at the top of an escalator, pointing a camera at us.
I grew to love him in the period of four days. I grew to love him like a true friend.
Let me tell you a little about Brian. I tread carefully, because I don't want to betray any confidences. But Brian is utterly devoted to his wife Gina...which speaks volumes to me. It simply means that we understand each other...and the core values that rule our hearts.
Brian has undergone a (an?) horrific disease. It has cost him all senses of taste. But he can still smell and when he smells he remembers the way it used to taste and he is content with that. When he packed a lunch for Sheree and me on the train, he included a note. I never even got notes in my lunchbox from my mother.
I loved talking to him and I loved hearing what he thought about everything from the burial of Ted Kennedy to the plight of street people. Frankly, I miss him.
I think of Gina calling him to the computer, to read to him these things. I can see the room in my mind's eye. I know it well.
It makes me smile because I know as he hears them that our friendship is cemented. Brian: I think of you often. And I miss you. So there.
Here he is standing looking out at the ocean. I wonder what he is thinking.
I promised not to show his face...but I think this image shows the heart of my friend in Rhode Island.
Even after all these days, the impression he has left on my heart is as indelible as ink. I look forward to sitting quietly with you again, Brian, sipping a beer and listening to our wives talking happily together upstairs...and knowing all is well in their worlds.
He doesn't photograph stuff...but he helps those of us who do. So say hello to a hero of mine. His name is Brian.
Be well, dear friend.
** 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 **

The Dutch rock band "The Golden Earrings" was founded in 1961 ; in 1969 the name changed into "Golden Earring" . In February of this year it was announced that the band stopped , because one of the founding members suffers from an incurable disease . They were one of the longest active bands in the world .
For "Smile on Saturday" ; theme "portray the name of a music band".
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.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent reason of dementia that has inflicted an approximate 5.3 million individuals in the United States.

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.
My poor lovely Audrey. Although the disease was first spotted in Pedigree dolls, and was named'Pedigree Doll Disease' it was soon noted that the condition could affect other makes of hard plastic doll and the name was changed to 'hard plastic disease' (HPD).
Although relatively rare, collectors of hard plastic dolls must be aware of the condition and be alert for early symptoms. There are several theories as to the reason the dolls can develop this condition - a reaction of metal to plastic, due to rusting of the metal eye pieces or joining rods, poor storage conditions - a damp loft or warm, moist conditions, high humidity or being stored in a plastic bag.
Symptoms of HPD include indication a smell of vinegar or acetone, small vertical lines around the nose, roughening around the wrists, noticeable loss of colour - especially in a limb, pink or red blotches on the head, small bumps. Eventually the doll will warp, white crusty patches appearing on the surface of the plastic and the the doll will ooze a brown liquid. The plastic is literally dissolving.
The doll must be isolated from other plastic dolls as the disease can spread.
So that is why Audrey stands in a broken mug in the corner, hidden from others by a large dolls house. She holds too many memories for me to part with her - my Dear Grandma bought her for me from a Scouts Jumble Sale in the early 60s - and I played with her for hours as I did all my dolls. Audrey was such a delight - shy but very sensible and everyone loved her. I still love her! I last posted photos of Audrey on Flickr 12 years ago - she had HPD then - so it’s taken some time for her to reach this stage. I think I’ll gently give her a wash and see how much longer she lasts. Unfortunately I am of guilty of keeping her for too long in the attic with extreme changes in temperature. Luckily the disease hasn’t passed to my other hard plastic doll, Sarah Jane.
