Warning: Don't try this after using a rescue inhaler for hayfever. The steady hands of my husband replaced these tiny dandelion seeds or dandelion clocks into the itty bitty bottle (1.8 cm tall/ 0.07 inches tall). Made by a wee glass blower.

(Lack of outdoor photos results from summer hayfever or grassfever. I’m sorrier than you know ;-))

A belt. And one with a history. Originally, this belt had belonged to my mother (magrit k.), but when I was a teenager, she gave it to me, because she didn't wear it anymore, but I thought that it looked cool and also very much 1960s. Back then, I was totally obsessed with anything 1960s, especially music and fashion. And this blue leather belt, although from the 1970s, in my opinion, had (or rather: still has) the perfect swinging sixties vibe with its 5 cm/1,96 inches width, its nicely shaped buckle, and the large, punched holes. And those holes were the "problem". I simply couldn't wear it with its original style, because that belt was a low waist belt, but the dictate of fashion at the time I got it asked for a waistline almost under the chin. So I clumsily drilled some extra holes with a simple gimlet. Since the result, not entirely unexpectedly, looked ugly, I took the belt to a cobbler who did some decent punching work and also added the metal eyelets to the extra holes. I've been wearing this belt ever since, on and off, to this day.
The image is a focus stacking made of 15 photos. The in-camera stacking result looked good so I used the Jpg out of the camera and further processed it in Analog Efex. I've illuminated the scene from above and slightly from behind. To add some visual punch, I placed the belt against that red, transparent chocolate box lid which, as you know, usually serves as a colour filter. You can see how scratched that lid already is, so maybe it's time to buy a proper colour filter. On the other hand, I might simply buy another box of Mon Cherie chocolates to get a new "colour filter" – with the bonus of some extra chocolate pleasure ;)
HMM, Everyone!
A farm left unattended for years is now just acres of weeds. Florence AZ. A small cotton plant in the front is the only remnant of what used to be.
Looking Close on Friday - This weed is usually blamed by people suffering from hayfever but in reality it is the ragweed that is normally the culprit.
Yay for hayfever. No it didn’t snow,… when you sit in the garden it looks like its snowing,… it only makes me sneeze and scratch my eyes out,…
These are the trees shot in the previous upward image. Beautiful young Silver Birch, one of my favourite trees but unfortunately the pollen is not good for hayfever so the sapling we planted 15 years years ago had to be cut down 5 years later!
Norfolk is... Fields of gold shimmering under our glorious big blue skies..The strong-smelling source of vegetable oil may be an enemy of hayfever sufferers but there is no denying the beauty of the bright yellow plants
So 2023 has got off to a good start despite the incessant rain because I remembered to take my hayfever prevention - that being a teaspoon of local honey before my breakfast.👍
#108 With any luck we will get rain today. This would help dampen down the terrible hayfever we are suffering from at the moment. Yesterday's C&C was a great success and we have another slot booked for a fortnight's time. This is an ICM of 1s panning R to L with the wave.
Giant ragweed is the culprit for people suffering from hayfever in the late summer and early fall. Their seeds are a favorite for many birds from now well into winter though.
Hayfever, but beautiful to me.
Two hours in the blind, but the hummy did not return. Not a single butterfly. But good to use a good lens most often left in the closet!
Thanks for looking. And your empathic sneezes.
Officially as good for coughs as it is for hayfever, colds, as an antiseptic, for wounds... Our home-produced honey is raw and unheated, so keeps all the good stuff and even tastes better than medicine.
The warm evening sun lighting up the grasses has something of a magical feel to it. Not so much the allergic rhinitus (hay fever) from crawling around in it! For the interested, the train was Hamilton-bound 391T pulled by DL9354, seen here at the Motumoaho loop.

I walked out back recently intending to try to find a few macro subjects. But storm clouds coming in over the Cascade Range looked lovely—to me.
My husband and I have an agreement. He mows around trees we've had planted, and the rest just grows wild. We've read that helps the ecosystem, tree frogs croaking at night, birds, coyotes, deer, etc.
Not much helps hayfever ;-)
A quick couple of photos just before it began to rain. About as shot.
Thanks for your visit and comments!
And welcome to my world at home.
A yellow daisy bush seen against temporary fencing by the carpark outside the National Wine Centre. (The fence feet remind me of clown shoes.)
I am rapidly running out of photos to post since being ambushed by my worst case of hay fever ever in 36 years. Have tried Zyrtek, Telfast and Claratyne to no avail, sometimes all three ion the same day. Am off to see the doctor soon, in hopes that it can be made to go away or at least tamed. Worst case scenario - might only be posting indoor photos until Spring is over!
I'm quite satisfied that i managed to get this photo of a European Honeybee loaded with full Pollen Baskets,
i went down my garden as i could see a Red Kite over the hedge, it turned out to be too far away and i wasn't able to get a decent shot. To my left i noticed a lot of activity of pollinating insects, i managed this shot of a Honeybee doing what honeybees do whilst trying to get a shot of a scarcer solitary bee. I’ve never noticed honeybees foraging for pollen on oak trees before today, I had always thought them to be wind pollinated, though it is fair to say the tree was alive with insect life.
ps i took another look at the same tree a day later, there was all but no activity, I wonder if oak trees release their pollen in a short window? Maybe even just the one day.
Cannot remember the last time we had rain in our neck of the woods , everything is dry and dusty and the Hay fever is driving me crazy too.
Northumberland, UK :-) Kneeling in the field, I was unaware that a very large tractor was waiting behind me - hayfever has made me v deaf in one ear! She was very smiley and nice about it all, though :-)
Pressing L works nicely here :-)
Sincere thanks to all who view, comment upon or make a favourite of my shots, for each is a help and pleasure in equal measure. Phil
On route back to Inverness it was a perfect day for a good walk. The walk from Inverness is about nine miles return. The smell of the gorse was really strong you would not want to suffer from hayfever along this walk
CORNELIA: "Daddy? Daddy!"
DADDY: "Yes Cornelia?"
CORNELIA: "Daddy, is it winter time here, Daddy?"
DADDY: "Yes it is, Cornelia."
CORNELIA: "And in winter time, flowers go to sleep, don't they, Daddy?"
DADDY: "Well, some flowers do, Cornelia."
CORNELIA: "Do you mean that not all flowers are asleep at the moment, Daddy?"
DADDY: "That's correct Cornelia. There are flowers like asters and marguerites that are awake now. Why do you ask, Cornelia?"
CORNELIA: "Well, my best friend Moesje is picking wildflowers for me in the Netherlands where it is summer. I would like to pick her some flowers in return. Do you think we could go outside on a walk and look for some?"
DADDY: "Well, it is a little cool outside, but it is lovely and sunny. I don't see why not, Cornelia. Shall we go?"
CORNELIA: "Oh yes please Daddy!"
DADDY and CORENELIA: *Go outside in the sunshine and take a walk.*
CORNELIA: "Oh Daddy! Daddy please stop!"
DADDY: "What is it, Cornelia? What have you found?"
CORNELIA: "Oh look at these pretty pink flowers Daddy! Moesje loves pretty pink!"
DADDY: "These are pink marguerites, Cornelia. They are part of the daisy family."
CORNELIA: "Do these make bears sneeze, Daddy?"
DADDY: "No, not that I am aware of, Cornelia. Why do you ask?"
CORNELIA: "Well, you see Daddy, when Moesje was picking wildflowers, she sneezed and sneezed until she sneezed the petals off some of the flowers she was picking! These will be perfect for her if they won't make her sneeze."
DADDY: "I think that they will be fine for Moesje then, Cornelia."
CORNELIA: "Moesje! Moesje look! Look my best friend Moesje, I am picking you some beautiful pink marguerites which I do hope you will like as much as I love your bouquet of wildflowers! I promise that they won't make you sneeze. Daddy says so!"
My bear Cornelia has made friends with a little bear named Moesje (www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577217879...). Moesje is a beautiful Bukowski Bear from Paal in Belgium. She has come to live with Mummy Marian (Marian Kloon (on and off)).She had been waiting in the dark corner of a shop with other bears for a long time, hoping someone would pick her up. All the bears were picked up, except Moesje. An appeal was made on the Internet and Mummy Marian sprang into action immediately! Moesje needs friends to love her, and Cornelia did not hesitate, for she has so much love to give to Moesje. Now Moesje's days are full of happiness. Today she picked some wildflowers for Cornelia, but she suffers from hayfever so she sneezed a few of the petals off the flowers. You can see here www.flickr.com/photos/66094586@N06/53054162572/ or in the first comment below.
Cornelia, I found in an antique and vintage market quite recently. She is a vintage edition Russ Bear from their Mohair Collection. She is made of deliberately mottled mohair to give her that vintage look. One of a limited edition of 10,000, she was designed by artist Carol Hosfstad and is completely handmade.
Since this image had the popularity on Flickr Explore, I thought I could do with some retouching, so enhanced the colours slightly and clean up a bit. Hope you enjoy it!
Despite is iridescent beauty, the golden wattle is the bane of existence for hay fever sufferers of Australia.
The Golden Wattle - Australia's national flower - is in bloom starting late July through to November. Australia's flag may be red, white & blue, but our national colours are green and gold, derived from the native acacia trees with their bright green foliage and golden flower blooms.
This was a spur of the moment shot, hand held on a very windy day.
Definitely looking forward to Sweater Weather szn in Second Life.
Even though here in the southern hemisphere, we are heading into spring. Yuck. Hello rain, hello hayfever (did that shit even go away this year?!)
Out now, at Anthem, is this GORGEOUS new set by Miss Chelsea.
Jett is a snuggly, almost autumn, but not quite, fur mini dress + cropped top.
There are two versions of this dress, one which is perfect paired with the dress, hiding one strap. (My brain melted with the logistics of this, best not to ask - it’s almost 0500 here)
There are also the most Cher from Clueless heels as part of the set too (not shown) 20 color/print options for all items, plus show/hide options for the garters.
Rigged to fit

So get your tanned but ready to say goodbye to summer booty over to Anthem and demo the shit out of these, you’re going to love this set.
I definitely do! Thanks Miss Chelsea!
I’m going to get you all the Honorable Mentions for you when I wake up, and the LM for where I took this pic, I been exploring and this space is absolutely beautiful.

Me and my other half went to a farm that does afternoon tea and sat out in the flowers. Kind of inspired me to do a summery pic.
However.. it's also the dreaded hayfever season .. and true to form my hayfever kicks in. So a summery pic wouldn't be complete without a few tears (but no puffy eyes..).
So this is devoted to all you hayfever sufferers out there.. we will sneeze our brains out through the season like the true champs we are!
Side note.. anyone needs to know some good medication.. hit me up.. I have tried it ALL!

This tree in Rick's front garden is full of flowers. Lovely flowers but not good for my hayfever!
John Lennon once sang, "Living is easy with eyes closed" but last night was certainly no Strawberry Fields Forever with the hay fever I suffered! I've spent the whole day after the night before with my eyes feeling like they're about to pop out! Myself and a bunch of ne'er do well lightpainters assembled at Magpie Mine in the middle of the night but waiting for dark to arrive I could feel my eyes gradually getting worse!
This morning after the night before I don't regret the hay fever one bit. I got a chance to meet up again with some of the best after dark photographers there is. All of whom probably have hay fever now too....
A few shots based loosely on the theme of Gower flora. This one would be a nightmare path for hayfever sufferers as there was no escape from the grass. Thankfully I don't suffer so enjoyed my lovely walk through the grassland.
Trying out my new wide angle lens. I've been trying to find a good view, this is attempt number one.
Transitions: an easy theme, as nature - and in fact all life - is in constant change. Over the next three days we'll look at some of the changes to the plant life of the northern prairie as late summer flows into fall.
Rabbitbrush is widespread in my area and can look very pretty when it pollinates in late summer and fall. On this day the light was bright but hazy (not from smoke); it had a strange quality that was difficult to define or describe. I was hiking with a fellow named Tim, who ran an experiential science course at our local school. This involved lots of field trips, and of course eventually it was cancelled. But for a while, he was allowed to do wonderful, educational things with students. Imagine that!
I had applied for and received an artist's residency to take groups of school children into our nearby national park, armed with point-and-shoot cameras, to see what they could see. We were scouting some locations in the buttes.
Unfortunately, rabbitbrush is also a major fall allergen that afflicts some people with hay fever symptoms, in particular people allergic to ragweed. Like me. Ragweed made my summers in Québec, where I grew up, miserable. Rabbitbrush accomplishes the same thing here on the prairie, albeit for a much briefer period. Look at its species name: "nauseosa". Need I say more?
Fortunately, over-the-counter antihistamines are better today than any treatment available when I was a kid, so I don't have many truly horrible days. Still, this is my nemesis plant here on the prairie. Some rabbitbrush plants produce fantastic, twisted, bonsai-like stalks that are fun to photograph, especially in the spring when their first green leaves show. But I have to confess that while most of my prairie photography is an act of love, shooting rabbitbrush is an act of revenge.
More delightful prairie plants to come...

A shot I took earlier this year - I liked the seagull sitting on the bollard but when I uploaded the shot to my computer it looked like it was sneezing - maybe seagulls get hayfever too!!!! Please view large to appreciate the shot fully!!
