“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…”

Woody Is Chillin..
Yesterday was a lovely day for a hike to Heart Lake, our first trip since the advent of Covid19. We have all been held captive by this awful disease that has plagued the earth for the past 6 months.
We thought for fun we would bring Woody along with us and take some shots of him enjoying this beautiful summer day. Here he is relaxing halfway through the hike.

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.
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.

This is a gregarious species, forming flocks outside the breeding season typically of about 25 birds that also roost communally. Guineafowl are particularly well-suited to consuming massive quantities of ticks, which might otherwise spread lyme disease.
These birds are terrestrial, and prone to run rather than fly when alarmed. Like most gallinaceous birds, they have a short-lived explosive flight and rely on gliding to cover extended distances. Helmeted guineafowl are great runners, and can walk 6 miles and more in a day. They make loud harsh calls when disturbed.

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.
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 !!!!!
... and there it was, the spreader injector of TBE, the Lyme disease marauder, the undoubtedly worst forest and meadow summer enemy we humans face during the summer half year...
The tick!!!
Patiently waiting in nature's vegetation with outstretched limbs for us prey to pass so they can attack and penetrate our skin where they unleash their armies of ill-tempered bacteria and viruses into our relatively fragile body.
My God
Vaccinate yourselves!!!

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.

Pests or diseases have damaged most of Britain’s 470,000 horse chestnut trees and there are just five years left to find a solution, experts warn. Dr Glynn Percival, manager of the Bartlett Tree Research Laboratory at the University of Reading, said: “I don’t think the prognosis is good at all, unless we find something to control the leaf miner. In trees that have leaf miner we do get an increase in the severity of bleeding canker because they have so little energy to defend themselves.”
He continues: “Our research shows trees without leaf miner produce conkers twice the weight of those with – 8g against 4g, which is a 50 per cent drop. We planted them out and the 4g conker germination rate is lower and the vigour is lower. There’s a definite knock-on effect, our data shows. The affected trees’ conkers are smaller and they have less vigour when germinating because of leaf miner.”
“Horse chestnuts have got maybe another five years unless we get these issues under control. The trees are living off their own natural resources. They’re brown and crispy when everything else is green. No energy is being produced.” He said his research shows that honey fungus is also attacking stressed trees, killing them off quicker.
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…

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

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.

Abstract
Nomenclature of the disease on the basis of vitiation of the body humors is stressed in ayurveda. Sannipatika, i.e., 'conglomeration of vitiated tridosa' is the final stage of process of manifestation of disease. In this specific state of pathogenesis, the disease becomes more advance and mostly irreversible. A detailed scientific study of Sannipatika-avastha has been documented in classics. Comprehensive analysis of sannipata-state and its ways of presentation is the main theme of the current article.

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!
