SN/NC: Bellis perennis, Asteraceae Family
Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the family Asteraceae, often considered the archetypal species of that name.
Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy. Historically, it has also been commonly known as bruisewort and occasionally woundwort (although the common name woundwort is now more closely associated with Stachys). Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, including remote islands such as the Faroe Islands but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia.
A espécie Bellis perennis, também designada pelos nomes populares margarida, margarita, margarida-vulgar, margarida-menor, margarida-comum, margarida-inglesa, bonina, bela-margarida, sempre-viva, margaridinha, mãe-de-família, margarida-rasteira, rapazinho ou rapazinhos, é uma planta vivaz da família das Asteraceae. Existem muitas variedades híbridas, utilizadas em floricultura, com lígulas brancas, rosadas, vermelhas ou roxas, de forma simples ou dobrada.
Bellis perennis is een veel voorkomende Europese madeliefjessoort, van de familie Asteraceae, vaak beschouwd als de archetypische soort met die naam. Meer over deze brontekst vereist voor aanvullende vertaalinformatie. Veel verwante planten delen ook de naam "madeliefje", dus om deze soort te onderscheiden van andere madeliefjes wordt het soms gekwalificeerd als gewone madeliefje, gazonmadeliefje of Engels madeliefje. Historisch gezien is het ook algemeen bekend als kneuzing en af en toe wondkruid (hoewel de gewone naam wondkruid nu nauwer wordt geassocieerd met Stachys). Bellis perennis is inheems in West-, Midden- en Noord-Europa, inclusief afgelegen eilanden zoals de Faeröer, maar is op grote schaal genaturaliseerd in de meeste gematigde streken, waaronder Noord- en Zuid-Amerika en Australazië.
Bellis perennis est une espèce européenne commune de marguerite, de la famille des astéracées, souvent considérée comme l'espèce archétypale de ce nom. De nombreuses plantes apparentées partagent également le nom de «marguerite», donc pour distinguer cette espèce des autres marguerites, elle est parfois qualifiée de marguerite commune, de marguerite de pelouse ou de marguerite anglaise. Historiquement, elle a également été communément connue sous le nom d'ecchymose et parfois de plaie (bien que le nom commun de plaie soit maintenant plus étroitement associé à Stachys). Bellis perennis est originaire d'Europe occidentale, centrale et septentrionale, y compris des îles éloignées telles que les îles Féroé, mais largement naturalisé dans la plupart des régions tempérées, y compris les Amériques et l’Australasie.
Bellis perennis ist eine verbreitete europäische Gänseblümchenart aus der Familie der Asteraceae, die oft als die archetypischen Arten dieses Namens angesehen wird.

In der Vergangenheit war es auch allgemein als Bruisewort und gelegentlich als Wundkraut bekannt (obwohl der gebräuchliche Name Wundkraut jetzt enger mit Stachys verbunden ist). Bellis perennis stammt aus West-, Mittel- und Nordeuropa, einschließlich abgelegener Inseln wie den Färöern, ist jedoch in den meisten gemäßigten Regionen wie Amerika und Australasien weit verbreitet.

hematoma wound soiling and veins
It is perfect for you man too
Made with love

He really does look terrible,. His right ear, which the vet lanced due to the hematoma, is bothering him something awful. He barely eats or drinks.
Cava and her teammates this weekend!
For those who noticed, Cava had a Hematoma in her ear a couple months ago, thus earning her new Native American name "Broken Ear"
Back and slowly catching up!
Please do not make fun of me.
My aural hematoma came back a couple of times, so yesterday my vet drained it again & injected a steroid. Now I have to wear this silly thing for a week or so. I think I look handsome and it doesn't bother me too much. *sigh*
Your friend, Duncan
P.S. See my Vermeer inspiration. 😉

We had to take Buddy to the vet today.
He has ear mites and a hematoma in his right ear from scratching and shaking his head. The vet cleaned his ears and gave hims medicine to get rid of the ear mites.
He's had a rough day and has slept since we got home from the vet.
The backyard birds are beginning to visit the area just before fall. I've been told by an ornithologist friend that the growth on its beak is a hematoma, which will leave eventually.

I know it seems like it has been one thing after another. I have asked for continued prayer for my daughter upon discovering she was pregnant.
Prayers have helped them get through what they suspected may have been a tubal pregnancy......it was NOT. An entire Sunday spent in the hospital undergoing tests...proved that the baby was where he / she belonged. Praise God for that.
Prayers have helped get her through a hematoma. She had a blood clot inside of her uterus beside the baby. It was discovered on her sonogram and they had to watch it every two weeks with a new sonogram. It has now gone away. Praise God for that.
NOW....she has been very sick since Saturday. She missed teaching school Monday ( yesterday ) and again today. Today she went to the doctor.
SHE HAS SWINE FLU.
Her husband is on his way home from school to pick up her Tamiflu and also an antibiotic at the drug store, as she also has a bad sinus infection. She was too weak to go get it and she just had to try and get herself home.
For about a week or so before she got sick ( last Saturday she got sick ) she was freezing freezing cold. Everyone else was hot or comfortable. With her being newly pregnant ( due May 10 ) it was thought possibly just feeling pregnant. Well...I think it was the Swine Flu starting in her body.
She's had a lot of her students absent and gone longer than a week at a time. The kids have been really sick.
All I ask is to keep praying for her....and her little baby. She means the world to me. Your prayers have helped so much in the past. I'm counting on God to hear all of them again and get her through this. She is so sick.
Thank you dear friends.

EXCERPT:
Harriet Hall, a retired family practitioner who is interested in quackery, has summed up the significance of acupuncture research in an interesting way:
Acupuncture studies have shown that it makes no difference where you put the needles. Or whether you use needles or just pretend to use needles (as long as the subject believes you used them). Many acupuncture researchers are doing what I call Tooth Fairy science: measuring how much money is left under the pillow without bothering to ask if the Tooth Fairy is real.
Improperly performed acupuncture can cause fainting, local hematoma (due to bleeding from a punctured blood vessel), pneumothorax (punctured lung), convulsions, local infections, hepatitis B (from unsterile needles), bacterial endocarditis, contact dermatitis, and nerve damage. The herbs used by acupuncture practitioners are not regulated for safety, potency, or effectiveness. There is also risk that an acupuncturist whose approach to diagnosis is not based on scientific concepts will fail to diagnose a dangerous condition....

Harold boarded with us fairly often while his owners traveled around the world. I took this picture of him almost two years ago and emailed to his parents. His dad told me yesterday that they had been sitting in a cafe in Cambodia, missing Harold, when they received his picture along with an update.
There was something a little "off" about Harold and he was extremely cranky. I was about his only fan, but we got along very well. I think that was because I always let him have his way so he never tried to bite me . When I opened his cage door to clean it and give him fresh food, I let him jump out to walk around the boarding room. He would wrap himself around my legs and arch his back to be patted. When it was time to get him back in his cage, I'd put a treat on his towel and he'd jump right in. He got lots of outings and I never got attacked.
Harold was euthanized yesterday but his family loved him and knew when it was the right time to say goodbye. I will miss him - he was one of a kind - but I have lots of pictures and memories of my funny friend.
SN/NC: Bellis perennis, Asteraceae Family
Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the family Asteraceae, often considered the archetypal species of that name.
Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy. Historically, it has also been commonly known as bruisewort and occasionally woundwort (although the common name woundwort is now more closely associated with Stachys). Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, including remote islands such as the Faroe Islands but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia.
A espécie Bellis perennis, também designada pelos nomes populares margarida, margarita, margarida-vulgar, margarida-menor, margarida-comum, margarida-inglesa, bonina, bela-margarida, sempre-viva, margaridinha, mãe-de-família, margarida-rasteira, rapazinho ou rapazinhos, é uma planta vivaz da família das Asteraceae. Existem muitas variedades híbridas, utilizadas em floricultura, com lígulas brancas, rosadas, vermelhas ou roxas, de forma simples ou dobrada.
Bellis perennis is een veel voorkomende Europese madeliefjessoort, van de familie Asteraceae, vaak beschouwd als de archetypische soort met die naam. Meer over deze brontekst vereist voor aanvullende vertaalinformatie. Veel verwante planten delen ook de naam "madeliefje", dus om deze soort te onderscheiden van andere madeliefjes wordt het soms gekwalificeerd als gewone madeliefje, gazonmadeliefje of Engels madeliefje. Historisch gezien is het ook algemeen bekend als kneuzing en af en toe wondkruid (hoewel de gewone naam wondkruid nu nauwer wordt geassocieerd met Stachys). Bellis perennis is inheems in West-, Midden- en Noord-Europa, inclusief afgelegen eilanden zoals de Faeröer, maar is op grote schaal genaturaliseerd in de meeste gematigde streken, waaronder Noord- en Zuid-Amerika en Australazië.
Bellis perennis est une espèce européenne commune de marguerite, de la famille des astéracées, souvent considérée comme l'espèce archétypale de ce nom. De nombreuses plantes apparentées partagent également le nom de «marguerite», donc pour distinguer cette espèce des autres marguerites, elle est parfois qualifiée de marguerite commune, de marguerite de pelouse ou de marguerite anglaise. Historiquement, elle a également été communément connue sous le nom d'ecchymose et parfois de plaie (bien que le nom commun de plaie soit maintenant plus étroitement associé à Stachys). Bellis perennis est originaire d'Europe occidentale, centrale et septentrionale, y compris des îles éloignées telles que les îles Féroé, mais largement naturalisé dans la plupart des régions tempérées, y compris les Amériques et l’Australasie.
Bellis perennis ist eine verbreitete europäische Gänseblümchenart aus der Familie der Asteraceae, die oft als die archetypischen Arten dieses Namens angesehen wird.
Viele verwandte Pflanzen haben auch den Namen "Gänseblümchen". Um diese Art von anderen Gänseblümchen zu unterscheiden, wird sie manchmal als gewöhnliches Gänseblümchen, Rasengänseblümchen oder englisches Gänseblümchen bezeichnet. In der Vergangenheit war es auch allgemein als Bruisewort und gelegentlich als Wundkraut bekannt (obwohl der gebräuchliche Name Wundkraut jetzt enger mit Stachys verbunden ist). Bellis perennis stammt aus West-, Mittel- und Nordeuropa, einschließlich abgelegener Inseln wie den Färöern, ist jedoch in den meisten gemäßigten Regionen wie Amerika und Australasien weit verbreitet.
Bellis perennis è una specie comune europea di margherita, della famiglia delle Asteraceae, spesso considerata la specie archetipica di quel nome.
Molte piante imparentate condividono anche il nome "margherita", quindi per distinguere questa specie dalle altre margherite viene talvolta definita margherita comune, margherita del prato o margherita inglese. Storicamente, è stato anche comunemente noto come luisewort e occasionalmente ferita (sebbene il nome comune ferita sia ora più strettamente associato a Stachys). Bellis perennis è originaria dell'Europa occidentale, centrale e settentrionale, comprese isole remote come le Isole Faroe, ma ampiamente naturalizzata nella maggior parte delle regioni temperate, comprese le Americhe e l'Australasia.
Bellis perennis es una especie europea común de margarita, de la familia Asteraceae, a menudo considerada la especie arquetípica de ese nombre.
Muchas plantas relacionadas también comparten el nombre de "margarita", por lo que para distinguir esta especie de otras margaritas, a veces se la califica como margarita común, margarita de césped o margarita inglesa. Históricamente, también se ha conocido comúnmente como hematoma y ocasionalmente como herida (aunque el nombre común de hierba se asocia ahora más estrechamente con Stachys). Bellis perennis es originaria de Europa occidental, central y septentrional, incluidas islas remotas como las Islas Feroe, pero está ampliamente naturalizada en la mayoría de las regiones templadas, incluidas América y Australasia.
Bellis perennis هو نوع أوروبي شائع من الأقحوان ، من عائلة Asteraceae ، وغالبًا ما يُعتبر الأنواع البدائية لهذا الاسم.
تشترك العديد من النباتات ذات الصلة أيضًا في اسم "الأقحوان" ، لذلك لتمييز هذا النوع عن الإقحوانات الأخرى ، يتم تصنيفها أحيانًا على أنها أقحوان مشترك أو ديزي في الحديقة أو ديزي إنجليزي. تاريخيًا ، كان يُعرف أيضًا باسم bruisewort وأحيانًا الجرح (على الرغم من أن الاسم الشائع للجروح أصبح الآن أكثر ارتباطًا بـ Stachys). بيليس بيرينس موطنه الأصلي في غرب ووسط وشمال أوروبا ، بما في ذلك الجزر النائية مثل جزر فارو ولكنه متجنس على نطاق واسع في معظم المناطق المعتدلة بما في ذلك الأمريكتين وأستراليا.
SN/NC: Dianthus Caryophyllus, Caryophyllacea Family
It is commonly known as the carnation or clove pink, is a species of Dianthus. It is probably native to the Mediterranean region but its exact range is unknown due to extensive cultivation for the last 2,000 years. Although originally applied to the species Dianthus caryophyllus, the name carnation is also often applied to some of the other species of Dianthus, and more particularly to garden hybrids between D. caryophyllus and other species in the genus.
Het is algemeen bekend als de anjer of kruidnagelroze, is een soort van Dianthus. Het is waarschijnlijk inheems in het Middellandse Zeegebied, maar het exacte verspreidingsgebied is niet bekend vanwege de uitgebreide teelt gedurende de laatste 2000 jaar. Hoewel oorspronkelijk toegepast op de soort Dianthus caryophyllus, wordt de naam anjer ook vaak toegepast op enkele van de andere soorten Dianthus, en meer in het bijzonder op tuinhybriden tussen D. caryophyllus en andere soorten in het geslacht.
Se le conoce comúnmente como clavel o clavo rosa, es una especie de Dianthus. Probablemente sea originaria de la región mediterránea, pero se desconoce su distribución exacta debido al cultivo extensivo durante los últimos 2.000 años. Aunque originalmente se aplicó a la especie Dianthus caryophyllus, el nombre de clavel también se aplica a menudo a algunas de las otras especies de Dianthus, y más particularmente a los híbridos de jardín entre D. caryophyllus y otras especies del género.
É comumente conhecido como cravo ou cravo rosa, é uma espécie de Dianthus. É provavelmente nativo da região do Mediterrâneo, mas sua extensão exata é desconhecida devido ao cultivo extensivo nos últimos 2.000 anos. Embora originalmente aplicado à espécie Dianthus caryophyllus, o nome cravo também é frequentemente aplicado a algumas das outras espécies de Dianthus, e mais particularmente a híbridos de jardim entre D. caryophyllus e outras espécies do gênero.
Es ist allgemein bekannt als die Nelke oder Nelkenrosa, ist eine Art von Dianthus. Es ist wahrscheinlich im Mittelmeerraum beheimatet, aber sein genaues Verbreitungsgebiet ist aufgrund des umfangreichen Anbaus in den letzten 2000 Jahren unbekannt. Obwohl ursprünglich für die Art Dianthus caryophyllus verwendet, wird der Name Nelke auch häufig für einige der anderen Arten von Dianthus verwendet, insbesondere für Gartenhybriden zwischen D. caryophyllus und anderen Arten der Gattung.
Il est communément appelé l'oeillet ou clou de girofle rose, est une espèce de Dianthus. Il est probablement originaire de la région méditerranéenne mais son aire de répartition exacte est inconnue en raison de la culture extensive des 2000 dernières années. Bien qu'appliqué à l'origine à l'espèce Dianthus caryophyllus, le nom d'oeillet est aussi souvent appliqué à certaines des autres espèces de Dianthus, et plus particulièrement aux hybrides de jardin entre D. caryophyllus et d'autres espèces du genre.
È comunemente noto come il garofano o il chiodo di garofano rosa, è una specie di Dianthus. Probabilmente è originario della regione mediterranea, ma la sua area geografica esatta è sconosciuta a causa della coltivazione estensiva negli ultimi 2000 anni. Sebbene originariamente applicato alla specie Dianthus caryophyllus, il nome garofano è spesso applicato anche ad alcune delle altre specie di Dianthus, e più in particolare agli ibridi da giardino tra D. caryophyllus e altre specie del genere.
Bellis perennis は、キク科の一般的なヨーロッパのデイジー種で、その名の原型種とみなされることが多い。
多くの関連植物も「デイジー」という名前を共有しているため、この種を他のデイジーと区別するために、コモンデイジー、ローンデイジー、またはイングリッシュデイジーと呼ばれることがある。歴史的には、一般的にはブルーズワートとも呼ばれ、時にはウウンドワートとも呼ばれる (ただし、一般名のウウンドワートは現在、スタキスとより密接に関連している)。Bellis perennis は、フェロー諸島などの離島を含む西ヨーロッパ、中央ヨーロッパ、北ヨーロッパ原産だが、アメリカ大陸やオーストラリアを含むほとんどの温帯地域に広く帰化している。
ومن المعروف باسم القرنفل أو القرنفل الوردي ، وهو نوع من Dianthus. من المحتمل أن يكون موطنه منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط ولكن نطاقه الدقيق غير معروف بسبب الزراعة المكثفة على مدار 2000 عام الماضية. على الرغم من أنه تم تطبيقه في الأصل على نوع Dianthus caryophyllus ، إلا أنه غالبًا ما يتم تطبيق اسم قرنفل على بعض الأنواع الأخرى من Dianthus ، وبشكل أكثر تحديدًا على أنواع هجينة الحدائق بين D. caryophyllus وأنواع أخرى في الجنس.

I had to have Biscuit put to sleep today, it’s a sad feeling and I really did not want to do it. She lived a good, she had a bad ear infection that just wouldn’t go away from a hematoma ear. She was old and it was suggested to either have her ear cut off which was a risk because of her age or having her put to sleep.

I received a call at work about 11:30am on Monday telling me that my younger son was involved in a car accident and to go to the hospital. He was driving and was t-boned on the driver's side. Except for bruises, the passenger was fine as well as the man who was driving the truck. My son had a hematoma in his brain, a lacerated spleen, five broken ribs, a broken jaw, multiple facial fractures, a small pneumothorax, and two broken collarbones, one of them severely displaced.
Fortunately, we saw improvement in the two most threatening things, the hematoma in his brain and the lacerated spleen. By Wednesday night he was moved out of the ICU to a regular room. Thursday he had two surgeries, one for his broken jaw, which was realigned and wired. And the other for the one broken collarbone that was severely displaced.
The surgeries went well and he feels, and so do we, that he's on the road to recovery. As of Thursday night, we were waiting to hear from the doctors when he might be released.
Friday, we got the news that they would be sending him home. We've spent the day preparing with final checks, evaluations and instructions for home.

Thursday, 6 October 2022: temperature at 8:30 am is 2°C (windchill -1°C!). Sunrise is at 7:44 am and sunset is at 7:03 pm. Another sunny day.
Again, a few more odds and ends. I will add the description that I wrote under previously posted images taken on the same days, as it means less use of my right arm, which has damage to the shoulder rotator cuff, apparently. Have to make an appointment for an ultrasound to check how much damage was done. Had a doctor's appointment a few mornings ago as a follow-up to my trip and fall accident on 12 September. My broken nose seems to be healing well, but I have a huge, really painful hematoma on the right side of my chest, which can take months to heal. Holy smokes, I had to take a taxi as I am not driving yet, which cost $102 for the round trip!
"This photo was taken on 15 June 2016, when I went for a short drive SW of the city. I really do need to go to a few different areas, to see different bird species, but my most recent drives have been mainly to check on three different pairs of Mountain Bluebirds, and to see at least one of the usual Wilson's Snipes. On this trip, I saw all the usual things, knowing that before too long, all of them will have left on their long, long journeys.
"These plump, long-billed birds are among the most widespread shorebirds in North America. They can be tough to see thanks to their cryptic brown and buff coloration and secretive nature. But in summer they often stand on fence posts or take to the sky with a fast, zigzagging flight and an unusual “winnowing” sound made with the tail." From AllAboutBirds.
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/wilsons_snipe/id
"Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata) is a small, stocky shorebird. This species was considered to be a subspecies of the Common Snipe (G. gallinago) until 2003 when it was given its own species status. Wilson's Snipe differs from the latter species in having a narrower white trailing edge to the wings, and eight pairs of tail feathers instead of the typical seven of the Common Snipe. Its common name commemorates the American ornithologist Alexander Wilson." From Wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_snipe
According to Fisher and Acorn's book, "Birds of Alberta", "the common Snipe is both secretive and well camouflaged, so few people notice it until it flushes suddenly from a nearby grassy tussock. As soon as the Snipe takes to the air, it performs a series of quick zigzags - an evasive maneuver designed to confuse predators. Because of this habit, Snipes were among the most difficult birds to shoot (in the days when shorebirds were hunted for sport), and skilled sportsmen were known as "snipers" - a term later adopted by the military."

Took Buddy to the vet again today: She had to drain two vials full of bloody fluid from his right ear - the one with the hematoma ....and she gave him a shot of antibiotics....and gave him some fluid intravenously. She said he ought to be feeling better by tomorrow ...he ate on his own without my having to feed him by hand, though I have fed him out of my hand since then. I've been feeding him by hand for a few days now.. and holding his water dish while he drinks ....
(This is because I like to do this. I have fed most of my cats out my hand from time to time.)
He's only been sleeping and lying on the top of the love seat...and falling off of it...now, he's lying on top of the blanket that I'd used when I took a nap earlier today on the couch ...this is the most normal thing he's done in almost 2 weeks!
He slept with me when I'd taken my nap ... I like when he naps with me.
Hoping he's turned the corner now... it would be just in time for Christmas! 🎄
I think these may be some of the last photos to post from my long drive on 4 September 2022. Will copy and paste my description added to previous photos from this day, as it means less use of my right arm, which has damage to the shoulder rotator cuff, apparently. Have to make an appointment for an ultrasound. Had a doctor's appointment this morning as a follow-up to my trip and fall accident 16 days ago. My nose is healing well, but I have a really painful hematoma on the right side of my chest, which can take months to heal. Holy smokes, I had to take a taxi, which cost $102 for the round trip!
Normally, I would never be driving all the way south to Coaldale twice in one month, or even one year : ) However, when I first drove down there on 24 August 2022, I didn't think my daughter would be free to go with me in time before the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre closed for the season, till April 2023. So, I made a last minute decision to drive there anyway. My daughter told me that she was going to have a free day on 4 September 2022. I told her to let me know where she would like to go for the day and she reckoned we should go down to the Centre. I was so pleased about this, as she had never been there before and I was sure she would enjoy herself (despite the heat!).
We managed a fairly early start (which, for me, was a very early start!), leaving Calgary around 8:00 am. For the first time, we had a smoky day. A very quick stop at Frank Lake gave us a wide open view of the smoky sun surrounded by a bright orange sky, as well as a chance to look for any insects on the Maximillan Sunflowers.
Because of the long distance, plus my need to get back to the city before the light started to fade, our drive was pretty much limited to fast highway driving, apart from one gravel back road on the way south.
Most of the journey, one thing that stood out was that there were SO many hawks! I didn't see every single hawk, as I like to keep my eye on the road. My daughter reckoned that there were at least 100 seen, with which I agree, some on fence posts, others perched on tall utility poles, and some flying high over the harvested fields. Never have I ever seen so many hawks in one day. It was crazy.
Once we got to the Centre, we of course saw yet more hawks. Plus various owl species and Bald Eagles at various stages of development. I was so glad that my daughter got to experience having a cute young Burrowing Owl (named Sage) standing on her arm, and then a juvenile Great Horned Owl. As usual, I took plenty of photos, which I then couldn't identify when I got home. My ID skills for raptors is not good!
This was such an enjoyable day, despite the heat and long distance. Just like my previous solo drive down south, it was just under 500 km. The rare outing with my daughter is my favourite way of spending a day!

This is part of a forthcomong series of images documenting Semana Santa (Easter) in Taxco and Cacalotenango, Mexico in April 2007.
This Easter I traveled to the colonial town of Taxco, Mexico to rest and document the Semana Santa customs originally brought from Spain almost 500 years ago – rituals once banned have been regularly practiced in Taxco once a year for the past 100 years or so. One can see, hear, and sense the processions as they wind through the ancient cobblestone streets. Children dressed as angels, followed by the faithful shouldering beautifully carved religious statuses. I witnessed “penitentes” who show their faith through self-inflicted suffering.
These re-enactments and processions are an amalgamation of Spanish and pre-Columbian worship and culture. For example, the use of percussion and musical instruments, and the specific qualities of “penitente” practices. The indigenous identification with Christ’s (Jews) suffering at the hands of the Romans mirrors their own history of suffering at the hands of the conquistadors. The flagellation practices are reminiscent of those found in Aztec culture. Their use of decorations, plants (zarzamora) and materials by the “penitentes” are clear adaptations to medieval Spanish customs and ritual.
Taxco is reported to be the “Silver Center of the World” where four tons of silver a month are made into jewelry and other works of art. In the late 1920s, the charm of this colonial hillside town attracted William Spratling, a North American architect, writer and artist, and his charisma in turn made Taxco “the haunt of Bohemian American artists and literati.”
Since 9/11 they’ve been hit hard. These are a proud, hardworking people who are very devout in their spirituality and commitment to their families. This is the first of a series of images captured in Taxco as well as Cacalotenango. I got to the later by paying a private driver to transport me there. Coming back I was blessed by having made friends with two Univision TV cameramen who’d managed to have a police truck at their disposal.
Cacalotenango is a small agricultural town in the mountains about one hour west of Taxco. The semana Santa Good Friday festivities and passion play are acted out authentically. The whippings, flagellations and crucifixion actually occur live in front of spectators who are warned to stay clear of the action to avoid getting hurt. True to form, the crowds (and the photographers) were constantly being harassed, pushed and shoved by the Roman centurions who were clearing the way for the procession along the “Via Dolorosa”.
At one point, a bullwhip lash meant for “Jesus” actually hit me. I didn’t really get hurt but (in my mind :~) I fancied myself an “artist-penitent” of sorts as I roasted in the hot sun running up and down a wide area of hills and steep walkways trying to stay close to the action.
Let me tell you, this was as real an enactment as can be put on short of death. According to an indigenous penitent, who became a friend, the crucifixion was real on both hands though the feet were tied in place. As I followed the Christ figure through various phases of torture, defilement and physical injuries, there was no doubt he was actually experiencing incredible suffering, exhaustion and pain.
As a semi-lapsed Catholic convert and human being I was extremely moved by the devotion of the participants and spectators who were able to relive the suffering, sacrifice and selflessness of this event.
A “penitente” told me this suffering was offered prayerfully for the wellbeing and healing of themselves, their families and communities. Beyond this was also an offering for national and world peace.
As an example, this indigenous “penitente” told me that he was praying for peace in Iraq and for the safety of American soldiers. Although I found these practices to be extreme and outside of my frame of experience, there was nothing fanatical or pathological about the people choosing to do this. They presented as very intelligent, discriminating, balanced and kind.
I got the sense that they were at peace with themselves and very centered. They seem to go into ecstatic or meditative states that defy ones concept of human endurance and self healing. I was told elderly diabetics have healed completely after deep flagellations with lead tipped whips after exhausting processions of many miles.
About 36 hours after severe self flagalation with with metal tipped whips, my friend's back appeared to have only a slight purplish hematoma with unbroken skin. I accidentally touched it when we hugged and he did not feel any pain........ Had I not seen this, I wouldn't have believed it possible.
To be honest, I don’t yet quite know what to make of all this, but I’m left with a deep sense of respect and admiration for their selfless devotion and spiritual dedication.
A photo I did a while back.
My wife had an artery ballooned in her right leg. That operation went well. While she was in the recovery room she developed a hematoma where they went into her arm artery for the ballooning. She was taken back into surgery to fix that. After some ups & downs things are going fine now.
Poor Toby. Friday morning found him shaking his head. I cleaned his ears, but by lunchtime he had a small ear hematoma.
Called the V-E-T, got an appointment for the following morning.
Around 7pm we noticed him pawing at his face. An hour later he looked like he’d just lost a boxing match - complete with an eye puffed shut and his nose looking raw.
Benadryl helped - or at least kept things from getting worse.
Thankfully, by the time the V-E-T appointment came around his eye was open and the overall swelling was down. Surprisingly, the hematoma was nearly gone as well.
He does have an ear infection - the cause of the initial head shaking - and the best guess for the swelling was an unrelated bee sting/spider bite.
Today, with swelling and redness a thing of the past, you can make out a little red bump on his muzzle - most likely where he was “attacked”.
He feels fine, but his ears are a greasy mess from the meds, so you get just a happy snappy of Toby with his best buddy Henry- who kept a close eye on his grand-nephew the whole time.

I am hoping to have him/her eating out of my hand before summer ends. I don't know what the lump is on it's side and that worries me. Hematoma perhaps? Or a cancerous growth? Sad. I used to have two bunnies, but now just this one comes. Well... it's a wild and dangerous world out there for bunnies. Just after this photo shoot, I surprised a Mama bear and cubs in the yard.... got my heart pumping good I can tell you since I was half way between barn and house and pretty sure I can't outrun an angry Mama bear even on the best of days! But no camera with me and it was getting on to being dark anyway. Another day perhaps! Have a happy Sunday everyone! :)

The quaint yet heavily industrialized Mad River lazily carves its way from Bristol down to Waterbury, Connecticut, before ultimately joining up with the mightier Naugatuck River, which effectively slices the city of Waterbury in half. Along the Mad River's eleven mile route, the tributary becomes briefly subterranean, directed underground within an artificial concrete channel buried beneath the parking lot of a strip mall and McDonalds restaurant, before re-emerging onto the Earth's surface yet again, just south of Interstate 84. However, before the Mad River's relatively calm waters reach the energetic Naugatuck, situated at this point no more than half mile away, a series of derelict mills spill crumbling red bricks along the banks of the Mad River, just one last obstacle before reaching its end.
The mills of Waterbury are a many. Some remain repurposed into shops and business of various sketchiness. Others however, exist as no more than hollow brick skeletons, full of twisted steel and charred timbers scorched from arsons recent and past. Yet still, a few mills remain as derelict time capsules dating back to the days when Waterbury was the United State's leading manufacturer of brassware, after all, "What Is More Lasting Than Brass?", the city's motto still reads. While the brass industry has long since left the Brass City, the manufacturing scars are very much still abundant.
Today, the numerous remaining dilapidated brass mills of Waterbury have taken on a completely new function. Unofficial asylums, houses of refuge for the city's homeless and less fortunate. Guardedly wandering through the slumping ruinous mills one is reminded not so much of the brass these factories once produced but rather the people they clearly now house. A plastic bag dangles, full with human excrement, affixed to a corroded iron nail recessed within a centuries old dry-rotted wooden beam. Discarded needles can be found strewn across the ground intermittent with the decaying natural detritus and gas station junk food wrappers which blow in the breeze like man-made leaves. Discarded alcohol bottles roll to the lowest sloped corners of the settling mill, where so to the water naturally drains, soaking worn-out garments and moldy mattresses, significant of makeshift bed from someone's previous nights sleep.
The footsteps from residents can occasionally be heard above as the wooden floors creak and sag, willingly speaking their age. Wooden boards removed from windows appear as blackened eyes into an empty abyss. Vines snarl up the crumbling facade seeming to hold together the decaying red bricks as the mortar disintegrates away like enamel on a decomposing tooth. It is within the brass mills of Waterbury that the city's shunned remain. The mills have evolved into a playhouse for all sorts of antisocial behavior, from drugs too graffiti and exploration too. Those who choose to visit the mills have done so either out of necessity or morbid curiosity. A combination of beauty and desperation are well alive within the forgotten Waterbury brass mills, and so is a renounced encampment of shadow people, cast aside by a society blind to decay and hardship.
I think these are the last three photos to post from my long drive on 4 September 2022. Will copy and paste my description added to previous photos from this day, as it means less use of my right arm, which has damage to the shoulder rotator cuff, apparently. Have to make an appointment for an ultrasound. Had a doctor's appointment two mornings ago as a follow-up to my trip and fall accident 18 days ago. My nose is healing well, but I have a really painful hematoma on the right side of my chest, which can take months to heal. Holy smokes, I had to take a taxi, which cost $102 for the round trip!
A 'funny' story - apparently, two loose dogs came around my building last night and killed a skunk. Apparently, the skunk sprayed six times, so my various neighbours who live just a few feet closer, have been having a terrible time with the stench indoors. Someone phoned the City and they came to remove the poor dead animal.
Normally, I would never be driving all the way south to Coaldale twice in one month, or even one year : ) However, when I first drove down there on 24 August 2022, I didn't think my daughter would be free to go with me in time before the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre closed for the season, till April 2023. So, I made a last minute decision to drive there anyway. My daughter told me that she was going to have a free day on 4 September 2022. I told her to let me know where she would like to go for the day and she reckoned we should go down to the Centre. I was so pleased about this, as she had never been there before and I was sure she would enjoy herself (despite the heat!).
We managed a fairly early start (which, for me, was a very early start!), leaving Calgary around 8:00 am. For the first time, we had a smoky day. A very quick stop at Frank Lake gave us a wide open view of the smoky sun surrounded by a bright orange sky, as well as a chance to look for any insects on the Maximillan Sunflowers.
Because of the long distance, plus my need to get back to the city before the light started to fade, our drive was pretty much limited to fast highway driving, apart from one gravel back road on the way south.
Most of the journey, one thing that stood out was that there were SO many hawks! I didn't see every single hawk, as I like to keep my eye on the road. My daughter reckoned that there were at least 100 seen, with which I agree, some on fence posts, others perched on tall utility poles, and some flying high over the harvested fields. Never have I ever seen so many hawks in one day. It was crazy.
Once we got to the Centre, we of course saw yet more hawks. Plus various owl species and Bald Eagles at various stages of development. I was so glad that my daughter got to experience having a cute young Burrowing Owl (named Sage) standing on her arm, and then a juvenile Great Horned Owl. As usual, I took plenty of photos, which I then couldn't identify when I got home. My ID skills for raptors is not good!
This was such an enjoyable day, despite the heat and long distance. Just like my previous solo drive down south, it was just under 500 km. The rare outing with my daughter is my favourite way of spending a day!
Don't ask.
Okay... I'll tell. I crashed my Dirt bike with no helmet on just before this weekend and ended up with 8 stitches in my head, a concussion, a hematoma on my left thigh, torn ligatures in my shoulder, collarbone and sternum.
Definitely in pain still.

Every so often, a photographer captures an image that transcends his normal routine. Such is the case with this very special photo of my friend and belly dancer Arielle Juliette. There is a long story to be told here. If that reading taxes your patience too much, or if you simply wish to enjoy the beauty of this image without all the verbiage, that's okay. I ask only this: please keep all comments respectful, in tone with the story to follow. Also, please refrain from making the obvious, cheap shot comments about "topless belly dancing". This photo is ABOUT the dance, but is not Of the dance. For the record, Arielle does NOT dance topless! :-)
With that out of the way, I now take a page from the book of my flickr friend Garry Wilmore, who not only beautifully captures the motion of ballroom dance with his camera, but with his gift for words, often adds another dimension to his images with the "telling of the tale", as it were. I don't often take the time to do that with my photos, but this photo demands no less. As if to make up for past failings, this is going to take some time!
Those who have followed my photographic journey on flickr over the past few years are well aware that I specialize in photographing local belly dancers here in Madison, Wisconsin. Over that period of time, Arielle Juliette has become a particularly favorite model for both performance and studio shoots. Two main reasons for this are 1) she is exceptionally easy to photograph, as she loves being in front of the camera and the camera loves her right back; and 2) she has gone out of her way to act as my "practice dummy" on numerous occasions when I needed a live subject to test out my new found skills as a developing studio photographer. For that I owe her more thanks and gratitude than words can express.
Arielle has a couple of tattoos. This is not unusual these days, as it has become something of a fashion for young ladies to acquire such decoration. (Disclaimer: I ask for forgiveness in advance for my temerity in assuming I know anything about women. Let it be made abundantly clear, I am in no way an expert on such matters. To this day women remain a profoundly intriguing, beguiling mystery.) These tattoos often find an apparently favorite "home" toward the bottom of the spine at the sacral region just above the gluts. Tattoos are definitely common among my dancer friends. Mona, Ayperi, Nalingee, Mahela all have tattoos, Mahela being the only one lacking the lower back tat.
I became used to photographing Arielle and her tattoos, both
front and back, during her many appearances at the Med Hookah Lounge and Cafe, so I was rather complacent when Arielle would say that her back tattoo had significant meaning to her as a dancer. I had heard the story of "Life" and "Dance" many times already. It was only in late November of 2009, when Arielle wrote a lengthy note on Facebook, that I finally fully understood the symbolism behind her tattoo and the significant role that belly dance plays in her life.
I let Arielle tell the story in her own words...
Why must I dance? Why did I choose this life over any other?
When I was a child, I had always loved to dance, and it did not matter to what. The radio, the TV, whatever was playing a jingle, I was moving to it. My parents, surmising that this was an activity I enjoyed, tried enrolling me in several dance classes when I was 7. I tried ballet, hip hop and jazz, all of which I promptly quit, claiming "I don't want to do all this across the floor stuff. I want to dance!"
By the time I was 12, I believed that having quit formal dance training so young meant that I had effectively ended any dance career I might have had. I buried the dream, but the passion for dance lived on. I wanted it terribly, but would not allow myself even to fantasize. I still felt the burning desire to further my natural skill, so I started watching hip hop music videos religiously every day. I would fast forward, rewind, and rewatch rewatch rewatch. After I had seen the video enough times, I would try the moves I had watched so closely. The going was slow, but there was no deadline to meet and my craving was satiated, at least momentarily. The real satiety came during mixers, which are the dances my middle and high schools held. I loved mixers; I lived for them. I was too shy to really let loose, at least during my early teen years, but still I was known to "bust a move" on the dance floor.
And so my early dance years continued, and between watching music videos and practicing in my home and at the school events, I grew to be a good dancer by general standards. Although I had long since given up the dream of being a professional dancer, still the desire lingered on as displayed by a letter I wrote to myself when I was 15. Tom Harden, my teacher for Talented and Gifted English students, made everyone in the class write letters to themselves that he would then send to us 5 years later. My letter was completely unremarkable. I made mention of wanting to be a professional dancer or singer, but that since I lacked training I knew it to be an idle wish. I had no real ambition towards any other career, although it was clear that I could do anything that I wanted. And so it was true; I graduated with honors, I received a 32 on my ACT. With determination I could have gone anywhere and done anything. But I had no passion for school, and no passion for any of the careers I could have potentially had.
That is, I had no passion for any of my potential careers until I started bellydancing. When I was 16, my mom went to see a show that included a bellydance troupe named the Blue Lotus Tribe. She came back raving about how amazing the dancers were and how much I would like it... Little did I know how much that one show would change my life. I then embarked on a mission to find a bellydance teacher in Madison, and eventually I ended up emailing the Blue Lotus Tribe. They responded with several names, and I emailed every single one of them. At this point, fate must have intervened as Mona N'wal was the only one to answer my email, and how grateful I am that it was in to her lap I fell. On September 4th, 2004, 3 weeks before my 17th birthday, my mother and I went to our first bellydance class. I loved it from the very first- there was so much crossover between hip hop and bellydance, it came naturally to me, although I struggled to take the street out of my dance style. One class a week was not enough; soon we were attending two or three classes a week, repeating the ones we had already taken and moving on to the higher levels when we could.
In 2006, after two years of intensive study, I knew that this was what I wanted to do. I was not going to let my late start prevent me from being a professional dancer. I was so certain, in fact, that I got the tattoo on my back that is now my logo- a blue lotus in honor of the Blue Lotus Tribe, and the words "Dance" and "Life" in Arabic, because my life is dance. So why must I dance? Why must this be my career? I spent so many years dreaming, wishing, that I could dance professionally. I wanted it so bad, the longing that comes when you believe your longing will remain unsatisfied. There was nothing I wanted to be known as more than a dancer, so when I finally got my chance, I ran with it. And now, there is nothing that pleases me more than to be known or to introduce myself as "Arielle the Bellydancer". This is for what I waited my whole life, which is part of the reason why I kept my given name rather than choosing a stage name as most other dancers do. This is what I was born to do. The person that I am when I perform is Arielle at her most real; I am not putting up a facade or pretending to be someone else. Totally unselfconscious, I let the music move me to my soul, and hope that the movement it produces moves others to their souls as well.
When I was 15, I was in a bad accident on a ski hill, resulting in a fractured skull and an epidural hematoma- in layman's terms, I burst a blood vessel in my head that required an emergency craniotomy. I easily could have and, as I found out later, should have died, but my life was spared. I literally walked away with only a mild auditory processing disorder and an extremely keen sense of smell. Afterwards, many people said that I must be here to do something special, that my life was meaningful in some way. I know now that dance is the reason for which I was spared. I am here to touch lives.
Some people reading this may question how bellydance could touch someone's life; indeed, I have asked myself the same question in my times of doubt, wondering how I could possibly touch the world as a dance instructor. But then, I remember the person that I was before I found Middle Eastern Dance..... I suffered from severe depression, often turning to self-mutilation to stop the pain, and I was so full of self-loathing I could barely stand to see my own reflection. After many years of sexual abuse, I had disconnected from my body; it had not been my own for a long while. Discovering bellydance was about more than learning how to move to music in a new way; it was about reclaiming what I had lost. For the first time since I was 5 years old, my body is my own again. I found myself through this dance, and pulled myself from the darkest depths to become the person I am today. I do not like to think what would have become of me had I not started dancing.
To return to my original question again, why must this be my career? It is in my soul to dance; it is written in my destiny. Dance is the only thing that moves me entirely, the only thing which can occupy my brain to exclusion. It is the only thing I have wanted for my entire life. I must be the best, the biggest name in bellydance, the biggest legend that ever was, because I must reach the largest audience possible. I need to bring Middle Eastern dance to as many people as I can that have ever felt how I felt; if it can save me, it can save others as well. And in the end, if I reach only one person, only touch one life, then all the sweat, blood and tears that I have put in to my profession will be well worth it.
But I trust in myself, and I trust in the universe, that I will do more than that.
I was absolutely dumbfounded. i knew that Arielle had had a "troubled" past, but I never realized what that actually meant until I read her 'Very personal story of why I dance". Once I read it, I had a mission I was driven to accomplish. I told Arielle that some day I wanted her in my studio. I wanted her back and tattoo, with nothing else getting in the way, in front of my camera. Somehow I was going to visually capture and tell her story with a single image. We talked, we planned, we talked some more.
Finally, on Sunday, Jan 17, 2010, with Phaedra on hand as artistic director - this photo owes much to her creative, artistic eye for detail - we put it all together.
It's a seemingly simple portrait - Arielle's inner core, her back and tattoo, surrounded by the draping of the belly dancer's veil. That simplicity is very misleading.
Arielle saw the image and said how happy she was that it turned out as it did, because "when I was posing I was thinking 'please universe help me become a star' or drawing in the energy of the universe, and I wanted my pose to read that thought or energy. I think it's safe to say that was accomplished. I like it even more because there's so much emotional charge to so simple of a picture."
I smiled at that, telling her I had a similar impression but with a somewhat opposite interpretation. "While you say you were reaching out to the universe for inspiration, drawing in its energy, I saw something very different. You are presenting - revealing - yourself to the universe, arms open in welcome, hiding nothing, all inviting. You are saying, 'I am Arielle, unveiled. THIS is who and what I am. Come DANCE with me!' "
The Blue Lotus is the key to her new life. The words "Dance" and "Life" are joined together in that new life. For Arielle, to live is to dance; to dance is to live. This is the ICONIC Arielle.
A few more odds and ends. I will add the description that I wrote under previously posted images taken on the same days, as it means less use of my right arm, which has damage to the shoulder rotator cuff, apparently. Have to make an appointment for an ultrasound to check how much damage was done. Had a doctor's appointment a few mornings ago as a follow-up to my trip and fall accident on 12 September. My broken nose seems to be healing well, but I have a huge, really painful hematoma on the right side of my chest, which can take months to heal. Holy smokes, I had to take a taxi as I am not driving yet, which cost $102 for the round trip!
"This was a juvenile Red-winged Blackbird, taken closer to Calgary, on my way to the mountains.
Tonight, 23 July 2022, I am quickly posting five more photos taken on 20 July 2022. Another drive to Kananaskis, mainly to get out of my house which is so hot inside. Slow to post at the moment, as my infected tooth is causing great pain over the left side of my face and neck. Same thing happened with the same tooth - which needs a root canal - last year. Had an appointment at a different clinic two evenings ago, as my own doctor is on vacation, and have been on antibiotics since then. The infection has caused my temperature to go up and my blood pressure to soar, so will be so thankful when the antibiotics start working. The hot weather is not helping! Unfortunately, not feeling well enough at the moment to be able to go for a drive in my car, in its air-conditioning.
The hot days continue, though there is no longer an Alert in place. On 20 July, it was just too hot and stuffy indoors, so, yet again, I climbed into my car and off I went. Same direction as the previous drive, on 14 July - south-west to Kananaskis. Total mileage was 388 km and I was out for 10 hours. No bears this time, but I was glad to see one little American Pika just when I was ready to give up. Most of my shots will end up being deleted, but finally the tiny Rock Rabbit stopped for two or three seconds, giving me a chance to get one OK shot. Not sure, but its left eye looks like there might be something wrong with it.
Several Bighorn Sheep were on the road, along with quite a lot of vehicles. The poor Sheep are still wearing quite a lot of their shaggy winter coat. No doubt they will be relieved when their summer coats are finally revealed, and they will certainly look much better.
The usual scenic shots had to be taken, of course. This time, I drove as far as Mt. Engadine Lodge before turning around. I was hoping to find a certain pond, but I guess I should have looked on a map at home before my drive. I think the pond must be on the main highway through Kananaskis. Maybe next time."
In Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, a fighter's ear is drained by a syringe. Cauliflower ear (perichondrial hematoma) is a common irreversible injury amongst fighters due to a hematoma in the ear.
Had to miss the fungi season this year, sigh.

For the first time since my accident, I drove my car down the road to a nearby small food store - kind of urgent. Did not feel good, though.
"Note: any IDs given are always tentative, even when we have been provided with an ID. Fungi are not easy to identify and caution must always be taken if a person picks mushrooms for eating! Unless you are a trained specialist, never eat wild mushrooms.
How many fungus species are there? It depends on what you read. For example, the two comments below are extremely different!
"Currently, there are over 10,000 known types of mushrooms. That may seem like a large number, but mycologists suspect that this is only a fraction of what's out there! We can put these various species in one of 4 categories: saprotrophic, mycorrhizal, parasitic, and endophytic." From link below.

"Even scientists don’t currently agree on how many fungi there might be but only about 120,000 of them have been described so far." From link below.

Yesterday morning, 30 August 2019, I went with a small group of friends to search for fungi at West Bragg Creek, west of Calgary. I had been hoping for a bright, sunny day that would allow enough light into the forest for photography. However, that was not the case, but at least we didn't have rain, unlike today, overcast and raining. Crummy weather for a long weekend. I'm wearing a sweater, have turned on the heating, and am listening to the falling rain. Is this really still summer? In fact, did we actually have a summer? High temperature today was 14C.
What we did have was the joy of finding enough fungi to keep us happy. We sure had to work hard to see them, with even more bush-whacking than usual. The forest floor is treacherous there, with such a dense blanket of soft moss, that you never knew when you were going to suddenly sink. In contrast, there are a lot of fallen trees and broken branches to trip you. Unfortunately, we did have one casualty that resulted in blood, and no doubt a few bruises today. I find that every single step you take needs to be done with great caution - and with good friends who help when necessary! We got a real workout and I definitely feel painful today.
When I arrived at the parking lot first thing, a huge, lit sign said "Warning - bears in the area"! Not the first time that has happened, and I know I would never go exploring on my own. As it was, the only animals we saw were Maggie and Ben, our leader's Beagles."
