Vom Baumkronenpfad fotografiert; das Alpen-Haus mit einem kleinen Wald auf dem Dach.
Nach einer Führung durch verschiedene Häuser der Lungenheilstätte Beelitz, waren wir auf dem Baumkronepfad. Von dort habe ich dieses Foto aufgenommen. Auf dem Dach der Ruine war im Laufe der Jahre ein kleiner Wald gewachsen. Das Areal steht unter Denkmalschutz, einige Häuser sind inzwischen verkauft und von den neuen Eigentümer saniert worden, sie sind für Besucher*innen nicht mehr zugänglich. Ein andere Teil ist inzwischen für Menschen die einen Schlaganfall hatten ein Rehabilierungszentrum.
Ich wünsche Euch eine gute Woche, bleibt achtsam und gesund,liebe Freunde.

Photographed from the treetop path; the Alpine House with a small forest on the roof.
After a guided tour through various houses of the Beelitz pulmonary sanatorium, we were on the treetop path. I took this photo from there. A small forest had grown on the roof of the ruin over the years. The area is a listed building, some of the houses have been sold and renovated by the new owners, they are no longer accessible to visitors. Another part is now a rehabilitation centre for people who have had a stroke.
I wish you a good week, stay mindful and healthy, dear friends.

Photographié depuis le sentier des arbres ; l'Alpen-Haus avec une petite forêt sur le toit.
Après une visite guidée à travers les différentes maisons du sanatorium pulmonaire de Beelitz, nous étions sur le sentier des arbres. C'est de là que j'ai pris cette photo. Une petite forêt avait poussé sur le toit de la ruine au fil des ans. La zone est un bâtiment classé, certaines des maisons ont été vendues et rénovées par les nouveaux propriétaires, elles ne sont plus accessibles aux visiteurs. Une autre partie est maintenant un centre de réhabilitation pour les personnes ayant subi une attaque cérébrale.
Je vous souhaite une bonne semaine, restez attentifs et en bonne santé, chers amis.

Normally, I don't let Rooster out until I know Mama moose has left the premises but she came back so it was a surprise that her and Rooster met up. Now, If any of you wonder what would happen if you encounter any wildlife on the trail how your dog would react....well, they bring them back to you. That's right, Mama moose came galloping right past me down my driveway. She doesn't perceive me as a threat so I was safe. Imagine if that was a bear? Something I learned from this picture is when a moose is perturbed their ears go comically sideways. She has never showed me that facial expression.
Of course, Rooster thinks it is all a game, just another horse on the property.
As a side note, sadly Rooster got ran over by a truck just outside my ranch gate by a passerby going about 80, he was rushed to the Dog ER on Sunday. He suffered a pulmonary contusion so he is on bed rest and as you can imagine not happy about it now that he is on the mend. All a very traumatic ordeal, I will forever be haunted by his cry as he got run over. Hope he has learned his lesson about cars as I never had a dog that didn't respect motorized vehicles. Had I known, I wouldn't have rescued him, there is only one ending, but apparently Rooster has a guardian angel. BTW- ER Vets think you shit out money, just saying. $1600 a night. This dog is going to give me a heart attack yet. Where is my beloved Sadie Dawg when I need her? Heavy sigh....
#WindowWednesday
Explored 8 April, 2021
This grand piano won't produce any other sounds than that of cracking wood any more – it's a mere wooden hull, the keyboard and the strings are long gone. But perhaps the sound of this grand piano, played by invisible hands, is inaudible only to us, and every night at 12, when the clock strikes the witching hour, the spirits of the sanatorium meet there for the grand ball...
Another one from the abandoned lung sanatorium somewhere near Berlin. It was the first sanatorium for pulmonary tuberculosis in northern Germany and was founded by the German Red Cross in 1896. After the Second World War, from 1945–1995, the building complex was used as a Soviet military hospital (note the Russian slogan above the stage; unfortunately, I'm unable to read it). I have no idea what's it about the painted cross on the floor (or is is a hopscotch pattern?)...
For more "ghost music", please check the image in the first comment :)
Happy Window Wednesday Everyone, stay safe and take care!
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complication of pulmonary embolism and a major cause of chronic PH leading to right heart failure and death. Lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy is the screening test of choice; a normal scan rules out CTEPH. In the case of an abnormal perfusion scan, a high-quality pulmonary angiogram is necessary to confirm and define the pulmonary vascular involvement and prior to making a treatment decision. PH is confirmed with right heart catheterisation, which is also necessary for treatment determination. In addition to chronic anticoagulation therapy, each patient with CTEPH should receive treatment assessment starting with evaluation for pulmonary endarterectomy, which is the guideline recommended treatment. For technically inoperable cases, PH-targeted medical therapy is recommended (currently riociguat based on the CHEST studies), and balloon pulmonary angioplasty should be considered at a centre experienced with this challenging but potentially effective and complementary intervention.

In den alten Gemäuern spuken die Geister der Lungenheilstätte Beelitz.
Um Mitternacht wenn alle Besucher das Gelände verlassen haben, treiben sie dort ihr gruseliges Spiel. Männlein und Weiblein sollten nicht zusammen kommen. Fein säuberlich getrennt in zwei Komplexen waren sie untergebracht. Aber..sie fanden einen Weg sich in der Nacht zutreffen. Beide Komplexe waren/sind unterirdisch mit Gängen verbunden. Am Tage wurden von dort unter anderem aus der zentralen Küche und Wäscherei Mahlzeiten, Wäsche in die einzelnen Häuser gebracht.
Findige Kranke entdeckten sie uns siehe: sie konnten doch zusammenkommen.
Das ging jedoch nur solange gut bis ihre Besuche entdeckt wurden. Nun war es vorbei mit den heimlichen Treffen, die Zugänge wurden für die Nacht mit dicken Schlössern zugesperrt.
Ich wünsche Euch eine gute und gesunde Woche, liebe Besucher*innen.
Bleibt heiter, Danke für Euren Besuch!

The old walls are haunted by the ghosts of the Beelitz pulmonary sanatorium.
At midnight, when all visitors have left the grounds, they play their spooky game. Little men and little women should not come together. They were neatly separated in two complexes. But...they found a way to meet at night. Both complexes were connected underground with corridors. During the day, meals and laundry were brought from the central kitchen and laundry to the individual houses.
Resourceful sick people discovered them and lo and behold, they were able to meet after all.
However, this only worked until their visits were discovered. Now the secret meetings were over, the entrances were locked for the night with thick locks.
I wish you a good and healthy week, dear visitors.
Stay cheerful, thank you for your visit!

Les vieux murs sont hantés par les fantômes du sanatorium pulmonaire de Beelitz.
À minuit, lorsque tous les visiteurs ont quitté les lieux, ils jouent à leur jeu effrayant. Les petits hommes et les petites femmes ne devraient pas se rencontrer. Ils étaient soigneusement séparés en deux complexes. Mais... ils ont trouvé un moyen de se rencontrer la nuit. Les deux complexes étaient reliés par des couloirs souterrains. Pendant la journée, les repas et le linge étaient apportés de la cuisine et de la buanderie centrales aux maisons individuelles.
Des malades pleins de ressources les ont découverts et, finalement, ils ont pu se réunir.
Mais cela ne fonctionnait que jusqu'à ce que leurs visites soient découvertes. Maintenant que les réunions secrètes sont terminées, les entrées sont fermées pour la nuit avec des serrures épaisses.
Je vous souhaite une bonne et saine semaine, chers visiteurs.
Restez de bonne humeur, merci de votre visite !

Yesterday morning Vassenka's big, kind heart stopped beating ... pulmonary edema.
He came to me as an adult cat at the age of 13. "kind" people shattered his jaw. Three operations, more than a year of rehabilitation ...
Vasya was one of those people talk about - a cat-man ... only he could not speak ... although no, he could ... in his own cat language. He knew how to look into the soul .. He quietly approached, sat down beside him, gently touched with his soft paw and quietly creased the comforting ones. And the warmth was spreading in my soul ... It won't do anymore ..
Run along the Rainbow, a big and kind Cat! A huge part of my soul has gone with you
Вчера утром перестало биться большое, доброе сердечко Васеньки... отек легких.
Он попал ко мне уже взрослым котом в 13 году. "добрые" люди раздробили ему челюсть. Три операции, больше года реабилитации...
Вася был из тех, о которых говорят - коточеловечек... только говорить не мог... хотя нет, мог.. на своем кошачьем языке. Он умел смотреть в душу.. Тихонько подходил, садился рядом, осторожно трогал мягенькой лапкой и тихонько утешающие взмуркивал. И в душе разливалось тепло... Больше не подойдет..
Беги по Радуге большой и добрый Кот ! Огромная часть души ушла с тобой

Lily dashing through fresh snow in -22F. The light was so good I had to try but I couldn't get more than a few clicks off before my finger tips froze then I had to dash to the wood stove to warm them up. Once you freeze your fingers they're never the same. Mine burned for several days after. Someone should invent special thin gloves for taking pictures with warmers in them, I think they'd be a hit. We have more snow than this as it has been snowing everyday. For those of you wondering if the cold weather affects her lungs; a little cantering and kicking up her heels is fine but nothing more. Basically, horses’ lungs can be damaged when strenuously exercised in cold temperatures. If the temperatures get really cold, keep the exercise light to prevent pulmonary problems, especially if your horse has heaves from eating dusty hay.
We visited this turf house where we saw how people have lived in Iceland for generations. I concluded it was a tough life with poor ventilation and the ever present threat of death from cold or pulmonary disease.
Eiríksstaðir in Haukadalur is believed to be the birthplace of Leifur Eiríksson, or “Leif the Lucky”, who is said to be the first European to set foot in North America around the year 1000 C.E.
Archaeologists first studied this site in the mid-20th century, and excavations in the late 1990s uncovered a 10th century longhouse. Leifur Eiríksson was the son of Eirík the Red, the famous Norse explorer who founded settlements in Greenland.
Dear Flickr's friends. For a while I will not be able to enjoy my passion for photography. Next Tuesday, May 23, I will undergo surgery for a pulmonary nodule. The post operative process is long and painful. I hope that soon I can get well and continue enjoying your precious works. Thank you very much for your visits, comments and support. See you soon!
I chose to use this photo of a Red-tailed Hawk because they are symbols of power, courage and strength and I hope my dad is now flying as free as this hawk.
My dad Arne died today Feb 23, 2023 which would of been my mother's bday making it even harder. My mom passed away just over a year ago. To lose my dad this close to my mom has been grief upon grief. It is unimaginable pain to have no parents left. No one is alive now who knew me from the day I was born. I still need my dad and his loss has come as a complete shock. Everything happened so fast, it seems like a dream. He was my rock and my protector. He was the kindest most gentle soul.
My dad got pneumonia that was resistant to antibiotics despite the doctors trying two different kinds of broad spectrum IV antibiotics. The infection could not be controlled and despite a picc line in to administer meds to his heart, his kidneys, heart and lungs shut down. His infection in his chest was so bad it caused irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. He grew weaker and needed high flow oxygen ventilation to survive. This man never got COVID and was rarely sick and now was fighting for his life. Despite IV steroids he continued to grow weaker and slipped into a coma. Before that he spoke to me and was so grateful my sister and I came to visit him daily. He thanked and kissed me and told me he loved me every day. When the doctors asked me if it was ok to pull his ventilation when he went into a coma it was a very hard decision, despite it being the right choice. I knew my dad did not want to live in a vegetative state. However, it is not a decision I would ever wish on my worst enemy because it is still taking away a life prolonging element. My sister and I held our dad's hands as he passed away in palliative care early this morning. He passed peacefully and quickly. I miss him so. I miss his laugh, his hugs, his kisses and his warmth. I miss his guidance, strength and beautiful presence. I miss his voice and am truly heart broken I won't ever hear him or see him ever again. I hope that since he chose to pass on my mother's birthday he is now with her and is at peace. The peace this gentle, extraordinary and kind man truly deserves who did so much for me and who loved me every single day of his life. When we told his 4 year old grandson that he passed he cried and cried. It was so heartbreaking.
I am so grateful I had such a loving and kind dad. My dad actually is the one who got me into birding at five years old and bought me my first field guide. I will be lost without him but hope he knows how much I love him and how proud I was to call him my dad. Losing a parent is so hard and navigating life without both when you are young is not easy, so I hope I can find the strength to continue on and make them proud. I am not looking forward to all the things one must do once they pass away. So for now I will just take it day by day and plan his funeral and grieve the loss of a wonderful man who taught me how to love and respect nature and how to treat others with dignity and respect. Thank you Dad for loving me and giving me such a good life. Thank you for giving me an example to live by and for inspiring me with your strength and resilience to adversity and for never complaining even when you were suffering. You made me proud dad and I hope I will do the same for you.
Thank you to the amazing staff and Internal Medicine and Respirology team at St. Paul's hospital and the Palliative Care Team and all the nurses and doctors that cared for him from the moment he walked in until his final day on earth today.
Rest in peace dad I will never forget you and I love you always, now and forever.

Remembering my husband, Randolph C. Robinson, MD, DDS, a Craniofacial Surgeon who provided humanitarian free facial reconstructive surgeries for many patients.
Without warning, he was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. We were both shocked and saddened with this news.
But like a knowledgeable surgeon (who already knew his chances for survival were slim), he stated he likely had only six months to live. And almost six months later to the day, after he fought valiantly through several rounds of chemotherapy, painful procedures, and a complex surgery, he suddenly passed away. It was from a pulmonary embolus (blood clot to his lung).
I miss my soulmate dearly, but must now move forward in life, "Seeing through a glass, darkly, knowing [only] in part . . . " what to do.
I am determined to carry on his legacy of serving others with great needs; bringing joy and hope to their lives and their loved ones however I can.
- GHR, RN (I worked as a Cardiac and Critical Care Nurse, then ran a humanitarian non-profit organization coordinating/traveling with teams to provide free facial surgeries for nearly 1,300 patients abroad and in the US.)
Ich hänge auch, seit Tagen. Am 13. Mai habe ich meine erste Impfung erhalten, die Nebenwirkungen waren zwar lange nicht so stark wie bei meinem Mann (ihn hat es 2 Tage total flach gelegt), aber zusammen mit meinem kardialen Lungenödem war es doch genug.
Ich erhole mich jetzt ein Weilchen und wünsche euch eine tolle Woche.
Mit den besten Grüeässlis, Maya
I've been hanging too, for days. I received my first Corona vaccine with AstraZeneca on May 13, the side effects were nowhere near as severe as my husband's (it totally laid him up for 2 days), but along with my cardiac pulmonary edema, it was enough.
I am now recovering for a while and wish you a great week.
With best regards, Maya
Yo también estoy colgado, desde hace días. Me puse mi primera vacuna Corona con AstraZeneca el 13 de mayo, los efectos secundarios no fueron ni de lejos tan malos como los de mi marido (lo dejó totalmente tirado durante 2 días), pero junto con mi edema pulmonar cardíaco, fue suficiente.
Ahora me recupero un poco y os deseo una gran semana.
Saludos cordiales, Maya

Taken close to Skagen Gray Lighthouse. We stayed at a distance not to disturb this baby seal, waiting for his mother to bring food. It was visibly sick, and a local employee told us many seals were affected by pulmonary diseases when we reported our encounter.
Eine ehemalige Lungenheilstätte an einem See im Landkreis Oberhavel in Brandenburg. "Sie war die erste Heilstätte für Lungentuberkulose in der norddeutschen Tiefebene und wurde 1896 vom Deutschen Roten Kreuz als Versuchseinrichtung gegründet, um zu erproben, ob Heilstättenkuren im märkischen Kiefernwald ebenso erfolgreich seien wie in den Gebirgen und an der See. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg diente sie von 1945 bis zum Abzug der Sowjetarmee aus Deutschland – 1992 – als Militär-Lazarett. Danach war die Anlage einige Zeit eine beliebte Kulisse für Filme und Fotografien, aber auch für Vandalen." Wikipedia
Danke für Euren Besuch, ich wünsche Euch ein entspanntes friedliches Wochenende und einen gutzen Start in die neue Woche.

A former pulmonary sanatorium on a lake in the district of Oberhavel in Brandenburg. "It was the first sanatorium for pulmonary tuberculosis in the north German lowlands and was founded in 1896 by the German Red Cross as an experimental facility to test whether sanatorium cures in the Brandenburg pine forest were just as successful as in the mountains and by the sea. After the Second World War, it served as a military hospital from 1945 until the withdrawal of the Soviet army from Germany in 1992. After that, the site was a popular backdrop for films and photographs for some time, but also for vandals." Wikipedia
Thank you for your visit, I wish you a relaxing, peaceful weekend and a good start to the new week.

Il s'agit d'un ancien sanatorium pulmonaire situé au bord d'un lac dans le district d'Oberhavel, dans le Brandebourg. "Premier sanatorium pour la tuberculose pulmonaire dans la plaine du nord de l'Allemagne, il a été fondé en 1896 par la Croix-Rouge allemande en tant qu'établissement expérimental afin de tester si les cures thermales dans la pinède de la Marche étaient aussi efficaces qu'en montagne et au bord de la mer. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a servi d'hôpital militaire de 1945 jusqu'au départ de l'armée soviétique d'Allemagne - en 1992. Ensuite, le site a été pendant un certain temps un décor apprécié pour les films et les photographies, mais aussi pour les vandales". Wikipedia

Der Baumkronenpfad im Quadranten der ehemaligen Frauenunterkünfte in der Lungenheilanstalt der Beelitz Heilstätten wurde als feuerverzinkte Stahlkonstruktion aus handelsüblichem Baustahl erbaut und ist über 700 m lang. Seit 2015 führt der Pfad an der Kriegsruine des "Alpenhauses" entlang und seit 2020 kann man auch das Gebäude der Chirurgie aus der Vogelperspektive betrachten. Am bereits gezeigten Aussichtsturm (s. Kommentarfeld) gibt es auf höchster Ebene eine Aussichtsplattform, die man auch per Fahrstuhl erreichen kann.

The treetop path in the quadrant of the former women's accommodation in the Beelitz Heilstätten pulmonary sanatorium was built as a hot-dip galvanized steel structure made of commercially available structural steel and is over 700 m long. Since 2015, the path has led along the war ruins of the "Alpenhaus" and since 2020 you can also view the surgery building from a bird's eye view. At the observation tower (already shown see comment field) there is a viewing platform at the highest level, which can also be reached by elevator.
KALEO: Way down we go
This is a Cormorant. They are incredibly adept swimmers and can dive to depths of 200 feet or more. They must have highly evolved cardio-pulmonary systems and organ structures regarding oxygen/Co2 management and hydrostatic pressure. The oldest known Cormorant lived to twenty-three years and eight months (Wow)! When I saw this one he was in a tree with seven other Cormorants. He looks hungry.
For train tracks Thursday, As the terminus for the railroad, Thomasville was accessible from the north and, during the late 1800's, became known as the "Winter Resort of the South." In the beginning of this era, Northerners and other visitors came to Thomasville for their health, breathing the pine-scented air as a curative for pulmonary ailments. They were soon joined by friends to enjoy hunting, fishing, and an active social life, including golf, horse racing and bicycling. Thomasville came to represent the best of Southern hospitality with the lavishness of the resort lifestyle.

Dear Flickr friends: After being hospitalized June 26th -29th with a pulmonary embolism, on July 27th I was back in the emergency room from 3 pm-midnight. Diagnosis: pneumonia. Am resting and recovering at home. But, while in recovery mode I won't be posting photos on Flickr every day, nor will I be able to fave and comment on your photos as frequently as I like to. Thank you to all of you who take an interest in my photos. I am constantly intrigued and amazed by yours, and have learned so much from you. Thank you! ♥

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
This was captured in August 2020 before I had a single Covid-19 vaccine dose but, because of other simple public health measures, it was 'relatively' safe for me to continue to shoot street occasionally. Current rates are falling but are still at 1 in 40 infected in Scotland and any vaccine immunity now is almost entirely gone.
The government tells us it is all over. They "got Covid done"! We can get back to our lives! These are all narratives pushed by far right millionaire driven think-tanks. They want the workers in their offices and do not care, at the moment, of the human cost. The ERG, HART and similar have been pushing against scientific advice from SAGE and IndieSAGE from the start and the Government have been eager to take their advice above all else. Here are some important figures to remember:
England only - COVID hospital admissions in the first 60 days of summer for:
2022: 78,029
2021: 34,740
2020: 6,566
England only - COVID deaths* in the first 7 weeks of summer for:
2022: 6,344
2021: 2,202
2020: 1,144
*deaths where Covid-19 is mentioned as a contributory factor on the death certificate
Up to 14th Aug 2022 for the whole UK:
1 in 69 people have been admitted to hospital with Covid
1 in 331 has died of Covid (as a cause)
1 in 37 is suffering from Long Covid
1 in 3 people have been officially registered as a case at least once
an estimated 110,000 people have left the workforce due to Long Covid
These numbers are unsustainable!
Covid-19 is not a simple case like a cold or flu even though many are only affected like this during the initial acute infection phase. Covid-19 is more akin to an airborne AIDS because it ravages the bodies immune system and makes you more susceptible to a multitude of further infections. Degradation of immunity is long lasting and may even be permanent.
Covid-19 is more akin to a thrombotic vasculitis and causes widespread blood vessel damage resulting in increased risks of strokes, heart attacks and pulmonary embolism. Damage to all organs can occur from microclots. Recent studies have found that almost all infected children have shown permanent blood vessel damage.
Be on the right side of history and protect yourself from Covid-19 by wearing a well fitting N95/N99 mask (FFP2/FFP3) in indoor spaces. Insist on adequate ventilation and filtration of indoor air. Keep your distance outdoors. These are not restrictions, they are protections.
Stay safe my Flickr friends. Stay safe.
50,000 Covid deaths, countless lost hours of work, Long Covid and a collapsing health system. That is what "Living with Covid" looks like.
Friends, I've not been posting many photos because I was in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism from Friday June 26th to Monday June 29th. My first ever hospital stay. Took this photo the morning of my discharge with my old Canon PowerShot SX230 HS through the tinted window of my hospital room. The glass is double-paned & in need of cleaning on the outside. Still in recovery mode and will be for awhile.. Am going to do everything in my power to avoid another hospital stay. No fun.
"I think over again my small adventures.
My fears,
Those small ones that seemed so big,
For all the vital things
I had to get and reach.
And yet there is only one great thing,
The only thing,
To live to see the great day that dawns
And the light that fills the world."

Bergenia crassifolia cv.
The medicinal properties of the plant have long been used in Russian folk medicine, as well as in the medicine of Tibet and China. Aqueous extracts of rhizome and leaves inside are used for colitis and enterocolitis of a non-infectious nature, tuberculosis, acute and chronic pneumonia, pulmonary haemorrhage, influenza and some other infections, laryngitis, headaches, fevers, articular rheumatism and gastrointestinal diseases (Wikipedia)
It's been a long time since I did anything on Flickr. Last summer I spent mainly in Utrecht where my youngest son was treated for leukemia, it is going well now and he is cured.
3 months after healing, my wife suffered a pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrest, again weeks of uncertainty and misery.
Fortunately, I can say that both are now healthy and survived without damage.
It's spring, new beginnings, new life!
Not very sharp! Still mildy pretty...
Actually, the berries are in focus...;)
Has anynone noticed that the new lantana buds seem to be square shape just before the flower opens?
I haven't done a "real" herbal/dictionary image for a while.
This is the flower of pulmonaria or lungwort, so named because its spotted leaves were thought to resemble lungs.
It's long been considered effective in pulmonary disorders -coughs, wheezing and shortness of breath.

I found this photo of our garden & polytunnel from 2018 lurking on my laptop. Edited with Topaz Studio 2 "Dream" filter for Sliders Sunday - HSS everyone! I know it's wishing the time away, but hot summer days & sweet pea flowers can't come soon enough.

Thanks for the well wishes & messages of support. A quick update (19 Feb 2023) : Martin is doing OK at the moment. His tumour is no worse but no better. We are still waiting for an appt to see the Pulmonary Consultant regarding his lung fibrosis. Life is manageable & we are able to get out & about, he can walk short distances without getting too breathless. There are so many people far worse off, we think of them & count our blessings.
Das Wald-Vergissmeinnicht ist eine zweijährige bis ausdauernde krautige Pflanze und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 15 bis 45 Zentimetern.
Die Pflanze wirkt entzündungshemmend, beruhigend, adstringierend und tonisierend. Die Volksheilkunde setzt sie zur Therapie von bakteriellen oder viralen Infektionen ein. Dazu gehören Darmtuberkulose, Lungentuberkulose und Bronchitis.
The forest forget-me-not is a biennial to perennial herb and reaches a height of 15 to 45 centimeters.

The Roman snail is a shell-bearing land snail that is systematically counted among the terrestrial pulmonary snails and here in the Helicidae family. Because it is quite large, it is hard to miss: the Roman snail is one of the best-known snails in our country and is unmistakable due to its typical appearance.

I feel that this World is in need of an Angel very special.
Many say that my angel has a devilish look is possible ! ...They say the eyes are the mirror of the soul, well well I see many eyes and souls filled with ice, perhaps for that reason this angel look out this way.
With fever and pulmonary congestion that I have, excuse me that is not well done. But I had the need to upload it to share with you. All my love ! ! !

Schützende Engel
Die Schutzengel führen uns Menschen durchs Leben,
Sie halten beschirmend Gefahren in Bann.
Der Geistwesen Ansicht wird niemand erleben,
Ihr Wirken verspürt, wer sich loslassen kann.
Natürlich, so denke ich, törichtes Hoffen.
Wer glaubt schon an Engel, nur christlicher Brauch.
Doch bleibt mir zumindest die Möglichkeit offen,
Ich irre, und einer behütet mich auch.

I will always love this moment of JAXson recently recovered from a serious pulmonary infection. He is sassy and smart and proud of it>. Happy Caturday to all our friends, both 4 legged and two....
I was walking at Fairchild Garden enjoying a warm sunny Florida morning when I caught a glimpse of these Candy Corn sprays flying high over the Vine Pergola! They were waving and wandering, their looped ends balancing and rebalancing in the sun and breeze.
Fairchild Garden has a lengthy pergola built during the Roosevelt Administration that is covered in flowering vines and plants most of the year. Candy Corn, purple Clock Vine, pink Shower of Orchids.

The human lung is composed of small structures, the alveoli, responsible for the gas exchange of the blood. Blood flow and blood flow between heart and lungs are intense. Cigarette smoke directly affect the functioning of the heart-lung circulation. Over time the pulmonary alveolus are being cemented by the components of cigarette smoke, failing to do its function. The body will then be replaced by smaller tissue oxygenation, resulting in greater ease of tiredness for the smoker. Cigarette smoking also causes countless damage to the heart and lungs, such as heart attack and cancer.
I still trust my intuition, and I was right on March 7 to call for urgency 'cause something was wrong in my body, my breath, I know my body's alarms... Hours later, a bilateral pulmonary embolism diagnosed... Thanks to my legendary intuition... I am alive... Believe in me, in my intuition always ... and puissance 1000 for my Kids <3<3<3 and All...

Albert and I were walking at Fairchild Garden enjoying a warm sunny Florida morning when I caught a glimpse of these Candy Corn sprays flying high over the Vine Pergola! They were waving and wandering, their looped ends balancing and rebalancing in the sun and breeze.
Fairchild Garden has a lengthy pergola built during the Roosevelt Administration that is covered in flowering vines and plants most of the year. Candy Corn, purple Clock Vine, pink Shower of Orchids.
Wagatea spicata is a robust woody climbing vine or small tree 10-20 ft. It grows in full sun and semi-shade and attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
The roots of Wagata spicata are used to treat and pulmonary tuberculosis. Wagatea spicata is a robust woody climbing vine or small tree 10-20 ft.

Honestly, there are mountains there. If they could be seen, they'd be between what we can see of the foreground, and midline of frame.
I photographed this on my way to the botanic garden, from the west mesa.
The Rio Grande valley was filled with wildfire haze, most of which apparently came from the Fuller fire near the Grand Canyon.
Things have become more clear over the course of the day, but this morning was pretty interesting. Burning eyes and nostrils once in town. Folks with pulmonary involvement warned to stay indoors.
Mystery solved.... (thanks, Bob)
Three Village Residents Remember Hap Barnes
Harold J. Barnes, better known as Hap, died July 8 from complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was 84 years old.

Its summary: Former Surgeon General: Mainstream Medicine Has Endorsed Medical Marijuana
By Dr. Jocelyn Elders, AlterNet. Posted March 26, 2008.
An historic document from the 124,000-member American College of Physicians certifies the medical value of marijuana.
One of America's largest and most important groups of physicians has moved to cut through the clutter of political controversies over medical use of marijuana. Lawmakers and the public alike would do well to pay attention.
The American College of Physicians is the largest medical specialty organization and the second largest physician group in the United States. Its 124,000 members are doctors specializing in internal medicine and related subspecialties, including cardiology, neurology, pulmonary disease, oncology and infectious diseases. The College publishes Annals of Internal Medicine, the most widely cited medical specialty journal in the world.
In a landmark position paper released in February, these distinguished physicians are saying what many of us have been arguing for years: Most of our laws have gotten it wrong when it comes to medical marijuana, and it's time for public policy to get in step with science.
Right now, the laws of 38 states and the federal government bar use of marijuana as a medicine. Federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, defined as having no accepted medical use and being unsafe for use even under medical supervision.
ACP's position paper urges "reclassification into a more appropriate schedule, given the scientific evidence regarding marijuana's safety and efficacy in some clinical conditions." The document goes on to call for protection of physicians' right to "prescribe or dispense medical marijuana in accordance with state law" and "strongly urges protection from civil or criminal penalties for patients who use medical marijuana as permitted under state laws."
ACP supports its position with 10 pages of scientific documentation and references. They cite data showing relief of the nausea, vomiting and wasting that can worsen the misery of cancer, AIDS and other diseases; of the pain and tremors associated with multiple sclerosis; and for relief of pain caused by a variety of other conditions. They note that marijuana in combination with some pharmaceuticals may produce more benefit than either drug alone.
ACP calls for more research, but then adds a critical point: In some areas, the efficacy of medical marijuana has already been established, and it's time for studies designed to determine the best dose and route of delivery.
The ACP position paper demolishes several myths, starting with the notion still proclaimed by some politicians that marijuana is unsafe for medical use. The College notes that the most serious objection to medical marijuana – potential harm to the lungs from smoking -- has largely been solved by a technology called vaporization, already proven in scientific studies.
The ACP position paper also explains that there is no reason to believe that protecting medical marijuana patients leads to increased drug abuse. "Marijuana has not been proven to be the cause or even the most significant predictor of serious drug abuse," the doctors write. "Opiates are highly addictive, yet medically effective ... There is no evidence to suggest that medical use of opiates has increased perception that their illicit use is safe or acceptable."
This is an historic document. Large medical associations are by their nature slow, cautious creatures that move only when the evidence is overwhelming. The evidence is indeed overwhelming that, as ACP put it, there is "a clear discord" between what research tells us and what our laws say about medical marijuana.
It appears that voters and lawmakers in a number of states will consider medical marijuana proposals this year, and Congress will again be asked to stop federal attempts to interfere with the 12 state medical marijuana laws already in place. It's time to end that "clear discord" and put science ahead
of politics.
Dr. Joycelyn Elders served as U.S. Surgeon General from 1993 to 1994, and is currently distinguished professor of pediatrics and public health at the University of Arkansas School of Medicine in Little Rock.

We are NOT "post-pandemic" or "post-Covid" and I am sick of hearing this from main stream media, politicians and prominent businesses.
First, we cannot unilaterally declare that a pandemic is over due to the very nature of a pandemic.
Second, just looking at the month of JUNE to date, we have 10X the number of directly attributed Covid hospitalisations for 2022 than we did for the same period in 2021 or 2020.
Hospitalisations are rising 30-40% week on week at the moment. Why? We're facing a wave of Omicron BA.5 which is even more infectious than previous Omicron variants but, worryingly, doctors are reporting that it is infecting lower down into lung tissue as we saw with the Alpha wave. Secondary pneumonia is now a major issue again and hospitalisations are rising across ALL age groups. Omicron evades vaccine immunity and there is NO natural immunity to Omicron. People are being re-infected with Omicron with repeated infections reported as being worse and worse.
Ignoring the acute risks of Covid, of which there are many, there are now multiple wide ranging and conclusive studies by institutions such as Harvard that are showing that every single Covid infection, no matter how 'mild', is causing permanent internal damage.
Damage to the brain similar to that in Parkinson's Disease.
Damage to the pancreas causing onset of Diabetes.
Damage to lung tissue.
Damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
Damage to cardiovascular endothelium and clotting factors resulting in a 3X increased risk in heart attacks, strokes and pulmonary emboli for at least 6 months post-acute infection.
More importantly, it is causing degradation of your immunity. SARS2 causes reduction in your immunity and damage to T-cells similar to that of HIV, leaving you wide open to opportunistic infections that you would be unable to fight.
SARS2 infection prematurely ages you! Telomeres are the end protections of our chromosomes that you can think of as being similar to the end plastic pieces of a shoelace. These gradually degrade over our lifetimes as part of the ageing process. It is a known quantity and studies have shown that even mild infections of Covid are causing damage to the telomeres of our chromosomes equivalent to 10 years of biological ageing.
Early in the Covid story some people openly called it 'airborne AIDS' because some of the genetic code of the virus is identical to HIV. It may have been tongue-in-cheek at the time but Covid is causing this kind of damage.
Ask yourself why we have rising infectious diseases such as viral hepatitis in children, monkeypox and polio to name a few. We have a massive population with post-Covid immune deficiency.
Even the Bank of England has reported that we are facing a collapse of economy with increasing rates of 'long Covid' affecting the workforce.
All of this information is easy to find in peer reviewed medial journals at revered institutions such as Harvard or in The Lancet. SARS2, as it's predecessor SARS, is a multi-system disease spread by microscopic airborne aerosols.
Keep yourself safe because your government does not care about you.
Protection is not rocket science. Mask in poorly ventilated places and when indoors with an FFP2/3 well fitting mask. Open windows for ventilation and demand that workplaces and public facilities install suitable HEPA filtration. Washing your hands helps against many diseases but it will not stop you from catching Covid.
" il faut se préparer , la nouvelle limitation de vitesse sur les routes secondaires en France c'est dans une poignée de jours "
c'est la plus grosse espèce de Gastéropode Pulmoné terrestre que l'on rencontre en France. Sa coquille peut atteindre 5 cm.
La coquille grosse et globuleuse présente 5 à 6 tours de spires, et une ouverture de grande taille dont le rebord est épaissi et souvent plus sombre. Le tégument de couleur grisâtre est assez épais et présente des sillons. Comme les autres escargots terrestres, l'escargot de Bourgogne a 4 tentacules, 2 petits vers le bas, et deux plus longs vers le haut qui portent les yeux.
