Repetitive golden reflections in a swelling sea filled with pancake ice crystals. Antarctica's winter was around the corner and these crystals would soon form impassable sea ice.

" There is a swelling storm,

and i'm caught up in the middle of it all.

And it takes control,

of the person that I thought I was,

the boy I used to know.

 

But there, Is a light,

In the dark, and I feel its warmth.

In my hands, and my heart,

Why can't I hold on?

 

It comes and goes in waves,

It always does, it always does.

We watch as our young hearts fade,

Into the flood, into the flood

 

The Freedom, of falling,

a feeling I thought was set in stone.

It slips through, my fingers,

I'm trying hard to let go,

but it comes and goes in waves,

It comes and goes in waves,

and carries us away.

 

Through the wind,

down to the place we used to lay when we were kids.

Memories, of a stolen place,

Caught in the silence,

an echo lost in space... "

Thank you so much in advance my dear friends for the faves, awards and comments. Forgive me if I cant respond sometimes. Work has been stealing my time from Flickr. But for sure and 100% I read all your comments and always so grateful for it. Take care my sweet friends. Have a delightful weekend. Hugs to all 💞

It's happening! I'm seeing hints of green and swelling of buds on my walk which makes my heart sing.

Yes, yesterday's waterfall...but taken early spring before the subsequent storms and with the winter melt greatly swelling the volume of water!

 

Every waterfall has an ideal flow when it is at its most beautiful, for this one, lots of water hides the figure in the rocks, definitely better to visit after the flow reduces but by autumn the stream is just a mere trickle. Let it snow!!!

Mallow (lat. Malva), or kalachik, or stem-rose - the type genus of the Malvaceae family - a herbaceous plant, usually annual, sometimes biennial and perennial. Today, about 30 species of mallow grow naturally in the temperate climates of North Africa, North America, Asia and Europe. Mallow was cultivated in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece: a description of the healing properties of the plant was found in the writings of Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder. In the twenties of the last century, scientists discovered ecological plasticity and high fodder qualities in mallow. And large bright pink flowers have always aroused the admiration of artists who depicted them in paintings, and poets who sang about them in verse.

Mallow has long been known in folk medicine. The beneficial properties of mallow have been studied by healers in many countries. For example, an infusion of mallow flowers and leaves cures stomach inflammation and intestinal disorders. Hot baths with steamed leaves or flowers of mallow (mallow) help relieve swelling of the spleen. The forest mallow grass is a constant component of chest collections.

Inland the wind picked up and it was as if the heaven leaden sky would compress everything in its way.

The reed bent so far as if it were trying to break free from the earth to flee.

The last rays of the sun would soon give way to a macabre darkness........

An important tree species for the landscape, biodiversity, embankment protection and use of the wood. The pollard willow is the ‘national tree’ of Zuid-Holland. The life of the pollard starts by planting a willow cutting. After several years and having reached 2 metres in height, the trunk is then cut to size. The tree is pollarded every 2 to 3 years by removing the new branches. The tree owes its name to the swelling at the base of the new branches, the pollard.

The time has been that these wild solitudes,

Yet beautiful as wild, were trod by me

Oftener than now; and when the ills of life

Had chafed my spirit—when the unsteady pulse

Beat with strange flutterings—I would wander forth

And seek the woods. The sunshine on my path

Was to me a friend. The swelling hills,

The quiet dells retiring far between,

With gentle invitation to explore

Their windings, were a calm society

That talked with me and soothed me...

Cumulonimbus Wolke*

Eine massige und dichte Wolke von großer vertikaler Ausdehnung in Form eines mächtigen Berges oder hohen Turmes.

Ein Cumulonimbus entsteht aus einem Cumulus.

Die deutlich abgegrenzten, rundlichen Aufquellungen verlieren sich im oberen Teil der Wolke, die scharfen Umrisse lösen sich auf und führen zu einer faserigen, streifigen Wolkenmasse, die schliesslich in eine Ambossform (incus) münden kann.

Unterhalb der häufig finsteren Wolkenuntergrenze befinden sich oft niedrige zerfetzte Wolkenstreifen, die mit der Hauptwolke zusammengewachsen sein können.

Der Niederschlag aus dem Ambossteil fällt gelegentlich als Virga.

  

Cumulonimbus cloud *

A massive and dense cloud of great vertical extension in the form of a mighty mountain or high tower. A cumulonimbus arises from a cumulus.

The clearly delimited, roundish swellings are lost in the upper part of the cloud, the sharp outlines dissolve and lead to a fibrous, streaky cloud mass, which can ultimately lead to an anvil shape (incus).

Below the often dark cloud base there are often low, shredded cloud stripes that may have grown together with the main cloud.

The precipitation from the anvil section occasionally falls as Virga.

 

Black-Eyed-Susan -Rudbeckia hirta, commonly called, is a North American species of flowering plants in the sunflower family, native to the Eastern and Central North America and naturalized in the Western part of the continent as well as in China. The plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations; believed in those cultures to be a remedy, among other things, for colds, flu, infection, swelling and (topically, by poultice) for snake bite.

Another orchid I photographed in Costa Rica is in the first comment section – Huntleya burtii.

 

Oncidium, abbreviated as Onc. in the horticultural trade, is a genus that contains about 330 species of orchids from the subtribe Oncidiinae of the orchid family (Orchidaceae). As presently conceived (May 2014), it is distributed across much of South America, Central America, Mexico and the West Indies, with one species (O. ensatum) extending into Florida. Common names for plants in this genus include dancing-lady orchid and golden shower orchid.

 

This genus was first described by Olof Swartz in 1800 with the orchid Oncidium altissimum, which has become the type species. Its name is derived from the Greek word ὀγκος, onkos, meaning "swelling". This refers to the callus at the lower lip.

 

Most species in the genus are epiphytes (growing on other plants), although some are lithophytes (growing on rocks) or terrestrials (growing in soil). They are widespread from northern Mexico, the Caribbean, and some parts of South Florida to South America. They usually occur in seasonally dry areas. - Wikipedia

There is a swelling storm

And I'm caught up in the middle of it all

And it takes control

Of the person that I thought I was

The boy I used to know

 

But there is a light

In the dark, and I feel its warmth

In my hands and my heart

Why can't I hold on?

 

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood, into the flood

 

The freedom of falling

A feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

I'm trying hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

 

Through the wind

Down to the place we used to lay when we were kids

Memories of a stolen place

Caught in the silence

An echo lost in space

 

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, it always does

We watch as our young hearts fade

Into the flood, into the flood

 

The freedom of falling

A feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

I'm trying hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

 

I watched my wild youth

Disappear in front of my eyes

Moments of magic and wonder

It seems so hard to find

Is it ever coming back again?

Is it ever coming back again?

Take me back to the feeling when

Everything was left to find

 

It comes and goes in waves

It always does, oh it always does

 

And the freedom of falling

A feeling I thought was set in stone

It slips through my fingers

I'm trying hard to let go

It comes and goes in waves

It comes and goes in waves

And carries us away

“The sky was so blue I couldn’t look at it because it made me sad, swelling tears in my eyes and they dripped quietly on the floor as I got on with my day. I tried to keep my focus, ticked off the to-do list, did my chores. Packed orders, wrote emails, paid bills and rewrote stories,but the panic kept growing, exploding in my chest. Tears falling on the desk,

tick tick tick me not making a soundand some days I just don't know what to do. Where to go or who to see and I try to be gentle, soft and kind, but anxiety eats you up and I just want to be fine.”

I can see we're thinkin' 'bout the same things

Yes I see your expression when the phone rings

We both know there's something happening here

 

There's no sense in dancing round the subject

A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect

Well don't turn around there's nothing here to fear

 

You can talk to me

Talk to me

You can talk to me

You can set your secrets free, baby

 

Dusty words lying under carpets

Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets

Locked inside hidden deep from view

 

Was, is it all that hard, is it all that tough

Now, I've shown you all my cards well isn't that enough

You can hide your hurt but, there's something you can do

 

You can talk to me

Talk to me talk to me

When your down now

You can talk to me

Talk to me

 

Though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek

Our voices stray from the common ground

Where they could meet

The walls run high, to veil a swelling tear

 

Oh, let the walls burn down, set your secrets free

You can break their bounds, 'cause you're safe with me

You can lose your doubt, 'cause you'll find no danger not here

 

You can talk to me

Talk to me

When your down now

You can talk to me

You can set your secrets free, baby

 

I can see your expression when the phone rings

And I can see that you're thinkin' bout the same things

Is it all that hard, is it all that tough

Well, you've taken all there is now baby isn't that enough

Well, I can see you runnin', well I can see you runnin'

 

Talk to me

Well, I can see you runnin'

Unlike bees, wasps can sting its prey repeatedly.

I also read somewhere that a red wasp sting can be treated with deodorant containing aluminum. ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭

__________________________________________

 

I've found the article!

 

A solution of meat tenderizer and water on a cotton ball can be applied to a sting for 20 minutes (avoid near the eye). This can help neutralize the venom and decrease pain and swelling. If meat tenderizer is not available, you can apply an aluminum-based deodorant or baking soda solution for 20 minutes.

The river Devon runs from the Glen Devon reservoir initially running east towards Kinross before looping back on to flow west and become a tributary of the river Forth somewhere near Stirling. This shot is taken of a stretch of the river between Rumbling Bridge and the Crook of Devon.

 

I chose this time to shoot the river because we have had quite a lot of rainfall lately and the waters were swollen to provide a fairly dramatic flow. In fact as I stood taking this shot the rain fell so heavily that the river was swelling before me.

Compact System Cameras for Macro photography

 

My old Compact System Cameras has a Super Macro function that can let me taking macro as close as at 5 mm. However, any lens get too closely to a subject may causing distortion, the image of the subject may becomes swelling, especially in the center portion. To reduce this defect, optimize your focal distance for the best close-up photo or use telephoto instead.

 

Eastern purple bladderwort (Utricularia purpurea) is an aquatic carnivorous plant that is endemic to parts of North and Central America. It has the ability to prey on aquatic arthropods that are trapped and digested in specialized swellings or bladders on the roots. Here the purple flowers emerge from the water surface of a wetland in West Quebec, Canada.

“Imagine a pair of woman’s lips,” Mogor whispered, “puckering for a kiss. That is the city of Florence, narrow at the edges, swelling at the center, with the Arno flowing through between, parting the two lips, the upper and the lower. The city is an enchantress. When it kisses you, you are lost, whether you be commoner or king.”

The tide retreats into the Firth of Clyde between Barassie Beach and the Isle of Arran.

 

Captured in May 2022, it's hard to believe that I have been fortunate enough to have moved to this beautiful part of the world just a year ago.

 

Many beautiful sunsets have been seen from this coastline since though it may be a while until I see another one as I heal with my fractured foot. Swelling and pain have increased somewhat in the past week and my foot now looks like a paint-by-numbers!

 

I hope you enjoy a moment of reflection in this beautiful view. wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography ahead. Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking. Enjoy!

I only take photos from Fynn's right side these days because on the other side he has a terribly swollen nose. The problem appeared two weeks ago and nothing seems to help. The vet gave me a new ointment for him on Friday but so far I don't see any effect. The swelling is suspicious because Fynn already receives cortisone and if it was a simple inflammatory process the cortisone would have suppressed it.

Poinsettia, also known by the names of beak-of-parrot (in Brazil), flower-of-christmas, or star-of-christmas is a plant originally from Mexico, where it is spontaneous. Its scientific name is Euphorbia pulcherrima, which means "the most beautiful (pulquérrima) of euphorbia".

 

It is a plant widely used for decorative purposes, especially at Christmas time, due to its leaves resembling petals of red flowers.

Its leaves are rough and measure 10 to 20 cm, while the flowers themselves are the tiny yellowish-green lumps in the shape of chalice, located at the tips of adult branches.

In the northern hemisphere it blooms exactly on the winter solstice that coincides with Christmas, which would explain why this plant is not so identified with Christmas in Brazil, where in nature it blooms from June to August.

 

The plant was used by the Aztecs for the production of paints used in cosmetics and dyeing fabrics, in addition to using their sap in the production of medicines against fever.

The milky sap of the plant, constituted by a type of irritating latex, in contact with the skin and mucous membranes causes inflammation, pain and itching, and can also cause irritation in the eyes, tearing, swelling of the eyelids and difficulties in vision. Ingestion can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It is false, however, that it can cause death.

 

Florists, especially those from Scandinavia and California, were responsible for obtaining varieties more adapted to domestic decoration, either because of their size (since these plants even form branched shrubs that reach 3 m in height, especially if planted outdoor), or by the color and color pattern present in bracts. Thus, there are Poinsettias in orange, pale green, marbled, speckled, etc.

Rhyolite, Nevada, USA

 

www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravelnevad...

 

As one of the most photographed ghost towns in the West, Rhyolite should be a priority when planning a Nevada adventure. This fascinating boomtown sprung to life after a couple of prospectors discovered high-grade, extremely valuable gold ore in 1905. Several mining camps, including Rhyolite, popped up in the region, which later became known as the Bullfrog Mining District.

 

As if Rhyolite sprung to life overnight, this community quickly became the epicenter of the Bullfrog Mining District and aside from a swelling population, boasted 50 saloons, 35 gambling tables, 19 lodging houses, 16 restaurants, several barbers, a public bath house, and the Rhyolite Herald—a weekly newspaper publication. To add to an already growing population, a hard-to-imagine FOUR daily stagecoaches connected “The World’s Greatest Gold Camp” to Rhyolite, ushering in a steady flow of people to Nevada’s newest gold discovery.

Still I Rise

-Maya Angelou-

 

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

 

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I’ll rise.

 

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

 

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don’t you take it awful hard

’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.

 

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.

 

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

 

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

 

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

We'll have to see about changing the name of this bird from yellow-bellied sapsucker to yellow-bellied bee-eater! That's one brave bird as eastern yellowjackets can deliver a searing sting and in cases where I've been stung the pain and swelling lasts for several days.The sorry yellowjacket was likely stealing sap from the young sapsucker's sap-feeding station and ended up being extra protein. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers move to states down south where it is much warmer than Iowa during the winter.

Caladium bicolor, called Heart of Jesus, is a species in the genus Caladium from Latin America. It is grown as a houseplant for its large, heart or lance-shaped leaves with striking green, white, pink, and red blotching. Hundreds of cultivars are available. It can be planted outside in USDA Hardiness Zone 10 as an ornamental. It is a problematic invasive species in Trinidad and Tobago, Guam, Micronesia, Palau, Hawaii and the Philippines, and naturalized populations can be found in most of the rest of the world's tropics, including Africa, the Indian subcontinent, southeast Asia and Malesia. C. bicolor contains calcium oxalate crystals, making all parts of the plant poisonous to humans, livestock, and pets. Sap coming in contact with the skin may cause skin irritation. Ingestion may cause burning and swelling of the lips, mouth, and tongue, as well as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If a pet consumes caladium, in addition to vomiting, etc., the symptoms include drooling, pawing at mouth or face, and decreased appetite. G5_101

Hi There!

 

Many of you have asked how I'm doing since my foot surgery. I saw the surgeon yesterday, so now have a little news. First, I want to thank my Flickr friends for your support! Your kind comments, notes and prayers have helped enormously! I am still housebound, but have been given permission to try and start bending my forefoot and toes (now impossible) and when the swelling goes down enough, to start to wear my own shoes and boots again! That'll be a nice change from the brace I currently wear. I can walk carefully around my home, but it will be some time before I am out and about as usual. Most importantly, I am moving forward!

 

Thank you all again a thousand times over!

 

And thank you for stopping by to view and comment on this image! Have a wonderful day!

"In the cherry plucked at night,

With the dew of summer swelling,

There’s a juice of pure delight,

Cool, dark, sweet, divinely smelling.

Merry, merry,

Take a cherry;

Mine are sounder,

Mine are rounder,

Mine are sweeter

For the eater In the moonlight.

And you’ll be fairies quite."

Some facts:

This flower was widely used medicinally by native Americans externally on burns, swellings, wounds and sores and liver and kidney disease, among other uses.

I am the swelling sea

You're the moon pulling on me

Sayin' all in time, all in good time

Sinking further into the depths, the waters soon glisten and glow.

Swirling eddies twirl and twist as life emerges before my eyes.

Swelling clumps and mats of fern surround and infuse a gentle warmth.

Slipping and sailing into a sweet slumber while sharing my space with Mother Nature.

 

Poking my camera in the ferns and double exposing with swirling water. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. Thanks for the favs and kind words. They are much appreciated!

This riverine clubtail looks pretty cool with that big bulbous swelling, or club, at the back end of its abdomen. Those bright green eyes are gorgeous too. Riverine clubtails range throughout the northeastern U.S. and into southern Canada but are rarely seen since they are uncommon everywhere and very elusive for they typically rest high up in the tree canopy. It was neat to find this wandering individual out on Ludwig Prairie of all places.

"No man has suffered

Rushing through my brain

Rolling in my heart

Swelling in the wind

The blue has redemption

The tide that never changed

Breaking in my heart

We are born again

I'd climb in under skies so blue it yearns

Hand over hand, carried all the memories

And don't look down in fate or fame

I tumble and glide into the white wide tide

Whirling and whirling

And let the slamming waves decide my fate

Because hope is all I need

And hope breaks on me

And hope breaks on me

And hope breaks on me

And hope breaks on me

The moon and the sun glow

Take me down

The moon and the sun glow

Take me down"

Medicinal uses

Arctostaphylos medicinal uses

Uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a small, evergreen shrub with orange berries. The leaves have been traditionally used as medicine. Uva ursi can reduce bacteria in the urine and also increase urine flow. It also seems to reduce swelling.

Elvis (red-shouldered hawk) came to play today. He arrived in oak three just before the bird show. He sat watching the birds as they arrived. Like me he had a difficult time keeping up with all of the motion. His head was turning ever which way as he tried to keep up.

 

There were little gnat catchers, Northern Parulas, and a variety of warblers zipping from branch to branch in the oaks. The Tufted titmice, Carolina wrens, Northern Cardinals joined in as they went from the feeders to the understory. Felix and Kitty, the catbirds were hopping around in the understory as well.

 

Five pine warblers were picking around in the rocks underneath the original feeding station. They were soon joined by a couple of palm warblers. Then, along came the bluebirds. Today the bluebirds were joined by some beautiful goldfinches. The bluebirds and goldfinches always seem to get along well.

 

I'm sure the goldfinches were just passing through. Regardless, I did make sure to freshen the millet and Niger in case more arrive in search of a quick snack. They don't really stick around for the winter but they pass through from time to time from autumn to spring.

 

When the bird show was over, Elvis began concentrating on the ground. He spotted something and dropped out of oak three disappearing in the understory. I spotted him and took a rather blurry shot to see what if anything he got. To my delight, it was a lizard. After that Elvis flew to the newest cedar snag (habitat enhancement) that was placed in the yard just for him. I was able to get a few shots of him as he perched there looking for another snack. Of course, I was in the living room so this image was taken through the window.

 

Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

 

PS: Please forgive me for only faving and not commenting on photos for a while. The little dab of typing I have done for this post has my hands aching. According to my doctor, I have De Quervain syndrome in both hands. That is swelling and inflammation of the tendons or tendon sheaths that move the thumb outward. It is caused by repetitive motion such as typing, sewing etc. Mine is probably due to raising butterflies. I find it rather difficult not to use my hands during the day. I won't be raising butterflies again until late February so hopefully my hands can heal before then. Again, please forgive the lack of comments. I'm not looking for a pity party, I just want people to understand that I'm not being rude by not commenting. I'm simply temporarily taking it easy.

irritation is swelling in me.

there have been so many things bothering me that seem to always want to occur at the same time.

they are mixed together and alter my emotions so violently.

sorry to everyone that my editing looks the same everytime.

Gomphocarpus physocarpus, commonly known as balloonplant, balloon cotton-bush, bishop's balls or swan plant, is a species of milkweed. The plant is native to southeast Africa, but it has been widely naturalized. It is often used as an ornamental plant. The name "balloonplant" is an allusion to the swelling bladder-like follicles which are full of seeds.

 

This was captured at Royal Botanical Garden, Peradeniya is situated about 5.5 km to the west from the city of Kandy in the Central Province of Sri Lanka and attracts 2 million visitors annually It is renowned for its collection of a variety of orchids. It includes more than 4000 species of plants, including of orchids, spices, medicinal plants and palm trees. Attached to it is the National Herbarium of Sri Lanka. The total area of the botanical garden is 147 acres (0.59 km2), at 460 meters above sea level, and with a 200-day annual rainfall. It is managed by the Division of National Botanic Gardens of the Department of Agriculture.

A brief hello, still home day 11... getting better with 3rd set of meds. Finally some progress. I still itch badly and anytime my body exerts an heat. the welts return and I am red/purple all over. Not certain what the outcome of my finger will be but the swelling is down, its still dark purple/black in color. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts and for stopping by.♥

Hundafoss (Skaftafell - Iceland) 20210716

 

Hundafoss is a 24 meters high waterfall in the south of Iceland in Skaftafell/Vatnajökull National Park. The name of the waterfall is derived from the Icelandic word “hundur” meaning dog. It got its name “Dogsfall” from the fact that during the swelling of the river sometimes dogs from the farms floated off the waterfall.

Hundafoss lies along the track to the famous Svartifoss.

Yearling white-tailed deer bucks are often called button bucks because they have little bumps, or buttons, on their heads. If you zoom in on this guy, you can see a slight swelling on each side of his head, situated right in front of his ears and topped with some orange hairs. Starting next spring, small antlers will start to grow out there. This hungry youngster was busy browsing on some of the tasty twigs and leaves on those nearby bushes. This woody browse is one of the favorite foods for white-tailed deer in the fall.
