Morla, known as The Ancient One (Die Uralte Morla in German), is a giant turtle who, because of her size, is mistaken for a mountain. She lives in the Swamps of Sadness, which might be either the cause or the result of her melancholy mindset: as the oldest living Fantasian (after the Childlike Empress and the Old Man of Wandering Mountain, who are both ageless) she has grown indifferent to the fate of Fantasia and her own survival. Reluctantly, she informs Atreyu that the Empress needs a new name and points Atreyu to the Southern Oracle. Morla speaks in the 'royal we' or nosism.
In the film she has allergies to youth (Atreyu) and sneezes violently in its presence. Here, she knows nothing about the illness of the Empress, but sends Atreyu directly to the Southern Oracle.
For all the people who suffer on some illness. We don't forget you.

Poeple living with a chronic illness often refer to ourselves as spoonies. Always good to have some extras and they may as well be fancy :)

I would also like to take this time to thank all of you for your support. I may not always leave a comment and even when I do it's almost never very elaborate but please know it's the best I can do on that day. I think you are all brilliant and a constant source of amazement, inspiration and joy.
Stay safe!
Due to his illness Tofu has lost quite a lot of weight although you don't see it under all this fluff. He eats well again now and will hopefully be back to form soon. And he watches birds again which is something he didn't do when he felt poorly. For now he is not allowed to go out yet but I have started to put dried mealworms out on the terrace for the birds and Tofu sits at the window and enjoys the entertainment.
For Tongue Tuesday I add another capture of the birdwatcher in the comments.
I just want to share the heartache and tears people globally are feeling right now! We need to be together during this time and support one another. Please know that I care and feel your pain!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
For Maria! Thank you for spreading awareness of your illness and for being brave!! You are amazing....<3!!!!!!
……Even ‘Blue’ ones! Ahead of Friday May 12th which is ‘ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day’ Smile on Saturday’s theme today is all about ‘Blue’ and when I read the brief "BLUE FOR YOU - ME 2023” I decided on this picture. So for ALL affected direct or indirectly as a result of ANY illness I hope todays pictures will bring a Smile however brief. This is another Anemone I spotted at Attingham Park (N/Trust) only I’ve added a bit more Indigo blue to the background especially for you. HS😊S, Alan:-)…….
‘FAVES’ PROBLEMS?!? Does anyone else have a problem with ‘Faves’ not staying latched in? I regularly spot some when I look back again at an image and have to re-Fave again! Most annoying - apologies if you see a comment & no fave given from me.
For the interested I’m growing my Shutterstock catalogue regularly here, now sold 149 images :- www.shutterstock.com/g/Alan+Foster?rid=223484589&utm_...

Things are as ever slowly changing..
My illness that is now being treated with double beta blockers is not yet responding well and some of my ordinary PVCs have changed to interpolated PVCs which can eventually lead to Cardiomyopathy with severe and chronic anxiety being the root cause.
I don’t have control over my anxiety and Flickr is just one thing I can leave off at least. I have had some lovely mails asking me to just take a break then come back and believe me they are so heartwarming and mean more than you will ever know.
The place I am at now is to still leave my account open as it is paid up until April 2024. Comments for new photos are turned off and shall remain off as I am too unwell to leave comments as they take me ages to formulate and I get so tired and stressed.
I intend flooding my Flickr account with photos from my two previous Flickr accounts as I get a better idea of whether I myself consider them worthy of uploading to my new online account with a couple of online accounts instead of mixed with thousands of other photos on my PC
www.redbubble.com/people/suelleanor/shop
I shall hopefully start to fave but not be commenting on photos on Flickr as I not well enough to at the moment but I haven’t given up on getting better although I am unsure how…
I wish everyone well and am still browsing all your wonderful inspirational photography !

Hier matin le 27/07/2022 plus de 5 mois après,.......!
à mon grand étonnement je l'ai revu, à la mangeoire tube..
la photo n'est pas au top mais elle le vaut bien, jamais ne j'aurai pensé qu'elle s'en était sortie
c'est la même car ayant fait à l'époque beaucoup de photos d'elle comme hier,
j'ai bien pu comparer...!
Everyone lives in their own bubble. A bubble of feelings, resentments, pain, loneliness, anguish, illness or just because you want to live in a protected bubble. As a child blows and makes countless bubbles in the air, sometimes the bubbles collide, join, merge... or disappear.

We need to try and always be there for our loved ones and even those we don't know during illness. If a patient is surrounded by positive support and laughter it makes the world of difference. I can tell you that from experience. Happy weekend my Flickr friends!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Because of my sudden illness, everything was delayed a bit. But since I'm on the mend again, I can finally show you my vampire-inspired style that I worked on before the illness. I picked out some make-up designers to create my very own look.
I am greatful for all the patience my sponsor give to us bloggers in this time and hope all of them and all of you will be safe!

After 6 days of illness, I'm finally back on my feet...hence the reason why I have been absent here on Flickr.
Tomorrow I am returning to work for the first time since last Friday. I feel ALIVE again and wanted to celebrate by posting this beautiful rose picture given to me by a friend. I received a bouquet of roses for helping her become my colleague.
I will soon get back to comments and liking all your beautiful pictures.
Have a beautiful Wednesday
Cat's Whiskers in the KLCC Park serve as border plants and given their year 'round presence some of the walks are always bordered by pretty white flowers. So you could be forgiven for thinking they're merely ornamentals. But Orthosiphon also has excellent medicinal qualities especially for illnesses of the urinary tract. That's for what they've traditionally been used in this part of the world.
It's difficult to get a good photo of these clusters, so I thought I'd give you a shot from the top down.
Despite her illness, Daisy still likes to play. Camera ready, I put the frog down. Daisy wanted the frog, but not a photo - so she picked up the toy & ran to another room before I could get a single photo. After more failed attempts, I gave up. I put the camera away, fetched biscuits & hid them under the frog & got this quick snap with my phone while she was still hoping for more bribes. She has trained me very well!

A novel malady afflicted lunar space workers in the late 21st century called Lunar Rigor, a mental illness whose symptoms ranged from chronic insomnia to clinical depression. Sufferers all disclosed feeling an acute discomfort and aversion to the starkness of the lunar environment (or rather lack thereof). It's extremes of night and day, blinding light and deep, unearthly shadows.
The utter stillness.
Astronauts could be trained to endure physical discomfort but mental adaptation was problematic. Evolution hadn't prepared the human brain to live within a desolate void. Patients trialled listening to birdsongs and other nature recordings whilst on EVA but this was found to have a nocent effect.

The news from the hospital is all good and encouraging! I am VERY happy!! : 0)))

I KNOW YOU CARE – ELLIE GOULDING
It's been a funny few days
and even funnier nights
chasing storm clouds from my mind
falling; laughing; pillow fights
I tumble to the rumble of the thunder
let lightning strike me in the same place twice
dancing in the torrential rain
smiling up at you; feels so nice
kick off my heels; barefoot and free
stumbling; clumsy; straight into your arms
you steady me; you're my anchor in a storm
you're the rock that roots me
safe and steady; snuggle up; warm
toasting marshmallows
in the old ramshackle barn
where we used to play and shelter
way back then it was our port in the storm
now you came and found me
placed your hand in mine
smiled at me with your goofy grin
so nice to know we didn't run out of time
don't run out on me again
not now; not even in my dreams
'cos you rooted me to the earth again
now nothing is as bad as it seemed
we were meant for each other
no bout a-doubt it I mis-say
remember the short-hand we talked
oh, you know, back in the day
now it's my turn to smile
look down shyly at my feet
turned inwards as always
I look up and we let our eyes meet
sparkling and twinkling;
grinning until our faces ache
were we ever this happy before
I am ready to chance it; so willing to take
the wind is still blowing
wait until the dust sets
or run with me now
and cancel all bets
I see you nodding
no words need be said
you've got my heart in your hand
I've got our tune stuck in my head.

Dear Flickr friends,
This will be my last posting for a few days, until I am able to get out and about again but I will dip in and out to look at your wonderful work. I have a boat trip booked to see some seals on Sunday, so I really hope I will be able to do this... My mind is willing …
My picture was taken just under 3 years ago, while I was recuperating from illness and it is a gentle reminder to me of what I am able to achieve. I climbed high to see this view.
Dear Chi, 悲しむことはありません. それは希望のメッセージです. 友よありがとう : 0)
A MESSAGE OF HOPE
As darkness falls, then so do I
body broken, tears run dry
As daylight comes, the pressure rose
It craves expression, 'fore my eyes close
A little bird with broken wing
tapped my window, began to sing
She gave me HOPE and brought me love
a poem so sweet. from Heaven above
She cannot fly with broken wing
but to me she brings the gift of Spring
When hollowed out and in despair
pray for your angel. She's always there
She walks beside me, takes my hand
The sun shines down and warms the sand.
From the sea I came and will return
but I leave behind, HOPE, love, friendship
'til I return …

Is this a 20th Century moment or a 21st Century moment? It's hard to tell, but in fact it's the latter. There are many small rural communities that now remind me of scenes I witnessed during my time spent in Cuba. Many of these small rural communities in America are currently ravaged by poverty and drug addiction with no identifiable path out of the situation. We are a better people than this, and our elected officials of both parties in Washington would be better advised to cease the divisive rhetoric and general political posturing and dig into real and lasting solutions for homelessness, drug addiction, immigration, poverty, mental illness, suicide, and the proliferation of false news that is destroying America.

This photo is to bring awareness to Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), sometimes referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). ME/CFS is a debilitating disease that lacks a universally accepted case definition, cause, diagnosis, or treatment. According to the CDC, more than one million USA citizens have CFS. At least one-quarter of individuals with ME/CFS are bedbound or housebound at some point in the illness and most never regain their pre-disease level of functioning. ME/CFS strikes people of all ages and racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, and is diagnosed two to four times more often in women.

Inspired by advocacy, empowerment and acceptance, this piece explores the dimensionality of mental illness and the role we as a society play in creating awareness.
Reflection that a person suffering from Alzheimer's may face many misconceptions and stereotypes, the intention of this piece is to capture the unique essence of an individual despite these assumptions and reinforce that they are more than just a series of labels or medical terms. (Artist's notes.)

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao Tzu
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Aesop
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
William Arthur Ward
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Anon
Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time.
Ron Hall
With all of the bad things that are happening in the world right now, I think we need a message of togetherness and true unity. I believe that starts with personal reflection and then we can find kindness toward each other. Marielle Heller
I have long believed that there are fundamentally two forces or emotions that drive our decisions - love and fear. Love has its many manifestations: compassion, gratitude, kindness, and joy. Fear often manifests in cynicism, anger, jealousy, and anxiety. I worry that many of our communities are being driven by fear.
Vivek Murthy
Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. George Sand
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Marcel Proust
You don't teach morals and ethics and empathy and kindness in the schools. You teach that at home, and children learn by example.

A late Happy New Year to my Flickr Friends. 2016 did not end well for us as Derek was diagnosed with a serious illness and at the same time we moved house. All is now hopefully well and it is onwards and upwards in 2017.
Whooper swans coming in to land at Martin Mere, Wildlife and Wetlands Trust at Burscough nr Southport. Unfortunately a very grey day.
Due to illness, I haven't been able to get out with the camera over the past few months but hope to be able to do so again in the near future.
This is a shot from my holiday last autumn in the lake district. Taken at Blea Tarn on a lovely sunny morning.
Thank you for looking and for your continued support.
Apologies - family illness is making commenting difficult this week!
For the Macro Monday challenge (February 2nd 2015) Chocolate
One of my dwindling store of chocolate coins! I thought that maybe a hint, a mere glimpse, would tease the taste buds more than a full 'strip' ;o))
The coin is just 1 inch in diameter... or was before I ate it....

First of all to all my friends, its good to sit here FINALLY. On 3/17 i met my new doctor. On 3/18 i was rushed to the ER i have no recollection other than what i have been told. Took several days to stabilize me to do the surgeries required. Pancreatitis and Gall Bladder. I was in the Trauma Unit for just over 2 weeks and now home but can't sit at pc. My apologies for missing your beautiful and inspiring works. I am still recovering and still experience pain. If you would keep me in your thoughts and prayers I would be most grateful. My love to you all <3
Due to a long illness this is my first landscape shot in more than one and a half years. Last week I went out on adventure! It was so exciting, the bus for disabled people took me to Kinderdijk with my mobility scooter, camera, tripod and all and dropped me off Café de Klok close to the windmills. It was freezing cold outside with temperatures of 6 degrees below zero. Unfortunely the "Golden hour" was over before I knew it, so I had very little time to scout for the best compositions. The "blue hour" lasted longer, but once the sun was down the temperature dropped another 6 degrees (or so it felt to me charging up and down between the windmills on my scootmobile!) What a wonderful feeling of freedom I felt! More shots to follow
Yesterday evening after a short illness, passed away.

For your knowledge, I decided to make my life more challenging and interesting so looked up "What does yellow represent" in Google and this was their response: "The Color Yellow. Yellow, the lightest hue of the spectrum, signifies joy, happiness, betrayal, optimism, caution, idealism, imagination, hope, sunshine, summer, gold, philosophy, dishonesty, cowardice, jealousy, covetousness, deceit, illness, hazard and friendship". So I decided to try my hand at
illness, and found it a pretty big challenge, I hope you like what I have done.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
It is a gift to simply be able to move about freely, enjoying the blessings of good health, family, and friends. I think about this when I'm out on the streets enjoying life.
Yet I am concerned about the way Americans are now treating one another. Social media posts often reveal the hearts of those doing the typing. I have acquaintances who use the term "illegals" with such vitriol -- to the point of ignoring the humanity of those people. I agree our immigration policies and enforcement has been poor -- but what I don't agree with is the way the current President has repeatedly painted a picture of all immigrants as murderers, terrorists, and rapists. That is not true, but it has fed a lie to those with a proclivity for hate and racism.
Why has this false claim influenced so many Americans? In many instances, it is because there are so many Americans with essentially no moral code at all. There are, on the other hand, millions of so-called "religious people" in America who do nothing but play "church". They religiously attend church services, repeat the creeds, and mouth the words, but their hearts are revealed in how they think and treat others, particularly immigrants and those with skin that isn't white. In the Word, God does not call the weak, the powerless, the foreigners, those attempting to escape genocide or dangerous living conditions "murderers, terrorists, and rapists". Our current government leaders are the ones using those terms.
Choose today who you really follow. You may be fitting in with your peers and your political party, but God cannot be mocked or fooled. If you are more influenced by your peers and political party than you are by the living God, that is not a safe place to be.
Ask instead that our leaders develop a humanitarian and functional approach to policies regarding immigration, crime, mental illness, gun control, health and wellness, education, the economy, and other pressing issues, that reflects the dignity of all of humanity. A policy that reflects what God has asked us to be as people.

Best viewed Large HFF! I can't find out any information on this boat moored in Kilmore Quay harbour online (get redirected to a Scilly Isles company in the UK). Anyway I love all the blues so uploading for Smile on Saturday theme "Blue for you - ME 2020" more information below.
"May 12 was chosen as ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the celebrated English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale became chronically ill in her mid-thirties after returning from the Crimean War; the ME-like illness often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life"

My last upload of 2015 and an image of my favourite pair of trees at sunset seems a perfect way of finishing what has for me has been a challenging year.
Here's hoping that's it's an incident and illness free 2016 for me and a very happy New year for all of my friends and contacts on flickr
A life on the street is fraught with many dangers.
You're homeless if you have nowhere to stay, but you're also considered homeless if it's not reasonable for you to remain in your accommodation. That might mean:
you're staying with friends or family on a temporary basis
your home is in a very poor condition
your home is no longer suitable for you because of a disability or illness.
Homelessness is often caused by a tenancy ending, a relationship breaking down, or friends or family asking you to leave. In all cases, it's best to seek advice as soon as you can.
This Pandemic has just made things worse.
He fought quietly, and we fought with him.
His body was smaller and more fragile than it should have been, his past and true age unknown.
Hidden illness, surgery, and complications followed—things no one could see at first.
We did everything we could, but his little body couldn’t go on.
He passed away peacefully, loved and held.
I am deeply heartbroken.
We had so much hope.
After losing my mother just two months ago, this came during an already difficult time.
I’ve always shared openly—this is simply part of that.
In time, I will share a few more images of Mochi.
There aren’t many—everything happened so suddenly.
