Field of Goldenrod at the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama. I loved the blue sky against the pretty golden yellow.
Happy Sunday!
An evening thunderstorm envelopes Cancún, Mexico. To give you a sense of scale, the tiny spire on the left of the horizon is the airport control tower. Flights were grounded until the storm had passed and Gesundheit was declared :) Thanks for viewing! Bless you :)

"Sneezeweed" The common name is based on the former use of its dried leaves in making snuff, inhaled to cause sneezing that would supposedly rid the body of evil spirits.
The Mauve background is Cone Flowers.
Do you see it?
Holy shit! I just saw something else in this pic that I haven't seen before. Just above the guy sneezing is another guy blowing smoke. Or is it just that it's finally Friday and I'm tired. And, is that Odo behind the guy sneezing?
Gotta love pareidolia.
"I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more—that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut—my eyes are blue—
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke—
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is—what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
- Shel Silverstein, "Sick"
Photo locale, Cica Ghost's Funday:
Have you ever seen a sneezing seagull. me neither.
I was framing the seagull and the city when he sneezed at just took off.
I still think its a unique photo.?
He came, he saw, he sneezed. There's been loads going on in our new garden over the last couple of months, and Julius has taken his rightful place next to a(n) errrr flower.
The fields are alive with the sight of sneezeweed.

I hold back my affection, like a sneeze.
I contract, I withdraw into my feelings.
And everything I don't say implodes inside me in a heartache of modesty..
.. The unfulfilled desire of my tenderness, unable to feed on love, gnaws at itself to become this shy sorrow that comes with amorous silences.
In the void, the heart speaks. I choke it, and it bites me back.
We had a great week away but instead of bringing home souvenirs, I brought home a cold :(
I have spent the last week feeling awful and sleeping a lot. I must have been poorly because I've only turned the Mac on twice in seven days - gasp!!
Good news, it's cleared up just in time to return to work - hooray, excellent timing ;)
I met two American tourist off a cruise ship in a small hothouse just before I took this. They looked healthy but now I wonder. I felt unwell last night but better after a nights sleep.
Take care people.
Edit: We have Covid-19 in our city. A man returned from a country in Europe and is positive. Unfortunately their child went to High School last week and is now unwell. And so it starts.
corylus avellana - Haselnuss
Causes sneezing as early as January. The spring can come. 😉
Shot with the Yashinon DS-M 50mm f1.7, aperture f1.7.
This plant can grow up to 2.5 feet tall and starts flowering in late Summer giving a lovely display of vibrant flowers and even when the petals drop off the flower centres are still very pretty and they carry on attracting insects to pollinate the seeds. The plant is a perennial and belongs in the daisy or aster family and likes to be panted in rich soil which needs to be moist to wet conditions and in full sun. The leaves, flowers and seeds are poisonous to humans and if eaten in large quantities causing gastric and intestinal irritation which can become fatal, it can also cause skin rashes in some people, the chemicals in Sneezweed can poison livestock particularly sheep, also fish and dogs. “The common name of the plant ‘Sneezeweed’ was because people used to dry the leaves and make the powder into snuff, when inhaled it caused sneezing which supposedly rid the body of evil spirits,” also “it is thought to have been named my ‘Linnaaeus’ for Helen of Troy, the legend is that the flowers sprung up from the ground where her tears fell.”
Taken at White Rock Lake in the month of June back in 2015.
Wood Ducks are kind of weird to me, in the Winter they appear to be more offish, but when they are mating and during Spring and early Summer they are more approachable, at least for me.
Where this was taken, it's rare to see one even at 150 feet away that doesn't get spooked by a human presence.
Shot with a 7DmkII and a Tamron 150-600mm v1 camera/lens.

Day 9 April Challenge
The nice weather has brought on the flowering of the oilseed rape. There are fields and fields of it around here, it looks wonderfully pretty in photographs, but the smell of this evil stuff makes your eyes run, with coughing and sneezing as a bonus! Aaaaaa TISHooooooo!!!!!!
The average speed of a sneeze is about 100 miles per hour, as noted by WebMD. Each sneeze packs a germy wallop, too, with each sneeze sending about 100,000 germs flying through the air.
The Best thing is that when my kids went to school they were taught to sneeze into the bend of the elbow - Not to cover with there hands.
I think this really works great - we almost never have colds anymore.

Happy Macro Monday !!!
