AKA Para Cress. Astonishing golden globes with rich red-bronze eyes perched on mounds of bronze-green foliage. A very unusual accent plant. Spilanthol, a chemical with effective local anesthetic action has been identified in the plant. This action works surprisingly fast. If you have a toothache and rub a leaf on the gum area of the toothache, the area tingles and then goes numb within a few seconds.
1830 brought the diminishment of The Netherlands in Europe; the southern Netherlands broke away from the House of Orange and soon, after a ten-day battle, became independent as the kingdom of Belgium (1831). But in the far east in the Dutch colony of the East Indies (now Indonesia), The Netherlands was expanding its power. On March 28, 1830 the 'rebellion' of Prince Diponegoro (1785-1855) was crushed by his surrender to Dutch governor-general Hendrik Merkus de Kock (1779-1845).
De Kock was a busy civil servant (in the Batavian Republic and later in the Dutch monarchy) fulfilling a great variety of functions, but he was also a patron of the sciences. Hence Pieter Willem Korthals (1807-1892), botanist and plant-collector in Indonesia, named this Bauhinia for him (1840).
Beautiful orange and yellow Bauhinia graces many tropical parks all over the world. All parts of the plant including its pods are edible, e.g. as boiled vegetable. It also has traditional medicinal uses, e.g. for treating STDs and its bark is used to alleviate toothaches.
One of my top 5 UK birds - who doesn't love a Short Eared Owl?
My first encounter this winter, despite a few attempts.
Haven't been to this site for 3 years (over grazing has been to the detriment of the migratory SEO's) and after spending 2 and a half hours having a painful dental procedure was in two minds if I then drove another 1 and a half hours to stand in a field. But so glad I did. One of the those (rare) afternoons when the weather is better than forecast with beautiful golden light until sunset and no clouds at all on the horizon.
Good banter with Roger and Duncan - and the owls (only 2) started showing 20 minutes after I arrived! It is always hard to decide where to stand (grass always being greener on the other side), but I think we got it about right and were treated to a relatively close flypast.
My toothache reduced considerably during this encounter.
Apparently (told by a nearby bird watcher) a Ring Tailed Hen Harrier flew right over our heads as we walked back to the car park - now that would have been a good shot!
From Wikipedia:
Herb Robert has been used in the folk medicine of several countries, including as a treatment for diarrhea, to improve the functioning of the liver and gallbladder, for toothache and nosebleeds, and as a vulnerary (used for or useful in healing wounds). The name has been explained as a reference to abbot and herbalist Robert of Molesme. Freshly picked leaves have an odor resembling burning tires when crushed, and if they are rubbed on the body the smell is said to repel mosquitoes.
The active ingredients are tannins, a bitter compound called geraniin, and essential oils.
Cannonball tree, (Couroupita guianensis), tall, soft-wooded tree, of the family ... The tree is also cultivated in the southern regions of North America. ... each sort of broad-leaved lumber has characteristic properties that fit it for particular uses.
There are many medicinal uses for the plant. Native Amazonians use extracts of several parts of the tree to treat hypertension, tumors, pain, and inflammation. It has been used to treat the common cold, stomachache, skin conditions and wounds, malaria, and toothache.

These days political life in Greece tested for one more time with economic - political scandals involving illegal trades of well known international companies with politicals and executives of major parties.
I recall Doctor's words in John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row" :
"..And the final paradox of all, is the fact that virtues like honesty, spontaneity, and kindness are - in the world of the machine – almost always associated with "failure," while the traits of "success" include greed, sharpness, suspicion, hypocrisy, envy, disaffection, and general meanness - what Dostoevsky called "the toothache of the soul."

Αυτές τις μέρες η πολιτική ζωή στην Ελλάδα δοκιμάζεται για μια ακόμα φορά από οικονομικό – πολιτικά σκάνδαλα σχετικά με παράνομες συναλλαγές ανάμεσα σε φημισμένες πολυεθνικές με πολιτικούς και στελέχη κομμάτων.
Θυμάμαι τα λόγια του γιατρού από το «Δρόμο με τις φάμπρικες» του John Steinbeck:
.. Και το πιο παράξενο απ΄ όλα είναι το ότι οι αρετές όπως η εντιμότητα, ο αυθορμητισμός και η καλοσύνη είναι – στον κόσμο της τεχνολογίας – σχεδόν πάντα συνυφασμένες με την «αποτυχία», ενώ η συνταγή της «επιτυχίας» περιλαμβάνει την απληστία, τη δηκτικότητα, την καχυποψία, την υποκρισία, τη ζήλια, τη δυσαρέσκεια και γενικά αυτό που ο Ντοστογιέφσκι αποκαλούσε «ο πονόδοντος της ψυχής» ..

Didn’t it get cold back in December. Here’s a photo much more about the conditions than a composition piece. Although the scale is lost in the photo those icicles were over 6 feet long. We are now having a normal winter, wet and windy, the sort of weather I struggle in, more so at the moment as I’m suffering with an aching right hip that likes to travel down the leg. I’ve suffered from this aliment periodically all my adult life. When I was 18 I was told it was growing pains, into my thirty’s and forty’s I started to suspect they were wrong, now in my Sixties I’m sure of it. A bout of this pain would last a few days which I treated with Ibuprofen, but over the last week the pain killers are not shifting it. Last night was the worst I hardly got any sleep the only relief I got was to lye on it, lying on my back was a no no. Still it should be gone in a few days time and I’ve got the dentist to look forward too, tomorrow! I hate the dentist, I always leave in a bad temper as I have this feeling of personal space abuse. Stupid really as I ask them to fiddle in my mouth. It’s OK if I’m suffering with toothache I’m grateful of the relief but in this case the pain I was suffering when I made the appointment has disappeared. I’m only preserving with the appointment as it’s been a while since I had a check up and getting to seeing a dentist now is like hen’s teeth. Another human resource impact of brexit, always milage in having a dig at that disastrous decision. Anyhow he’s hoping for another picturesque winter period before it’s over.
For the past week or so we here in the UK have experienced a heatwave especially so down in the south with several days sitting around 30°f. To take refreshment as it were and away from its intensity I walked my local wood for its dabbled light and glade paths ...
Sneezewort (Achillea ptarmica)
Toothache sufferers in the Middle Ages often turned to this acrid, native plant to relieve their pain. According to the 17th-century herbalist Nicholas Culpeper they held the roots in their mouths and this helped the toothache by 'evacuating the rheum'. Culpeper also recommended sneezewort for those with stuffy heads, saying that 'the powder of the herb stuffed up the nose, causes sneezing, and cleanses the head'.
...poor Fudge has had dental problems which saw him rather subdued last week. After a course of antibiotics he is 90% himself again and back to tabby wrestling with little brother Tiffin. We're off to the vets again this evening so fingers crossed for the big tabby <3
Echinacea purpurea - Purple Coneflower
The indigenous people and tribes of the Great Plains are one of the known groups that recognize the medicinal values of the Echinacea plants. Purple coneflowers are popular as a painkiller. They are also used for treatment for various ailments, such as toothache, coughs, snakebite, colds, and sore throat.
hey, watch your step! let's go out on a night patrol by moonlight, follow me...meow!

sorry my friends, lately i can't reply your lovely, sweet comments, visit your pages...
i was going to do tonight because luckily i didn't have to work overtime, but sudden terrible toothache is bothering me! (＞人＜) aww...i'll take a medicine and go to bed soon, so tomorrow i will patrol on flickr. nite-nite.
This silent movie (1919) was a rip-off of A Christmas Carol except the story did not take place around any holiday and whose visions were the result of banker Mortimer Sudsworth (played by Anthony Collin Blaine) partaking a bit too much laudanum to counter a toothache. I've not been able to find this movie on streaming and may take to combing the VHS collections of small libraries to see if I can find a copy. I'm going to need also to find a VHS player and a compatible television to watch it if I find one since I possess neither a TV nor a VHS tape player.
HELLO EVERYBODY !!

While Marty waits for the swelling of her mouth to go away, she will play in her room in the meantime and enjoy the sound of the rain. She looks forward to a visit from the tooth fairy tonight.
'According to legend Carreg Bica (Bica's rock), a large sea-weathered stack of Ordovician rock on the beach, is the tooth of the giant Bica who lived in the Ceredigion area, and was forced to spit his tooth onto the beach following a bad toothache'
Alright so I know I have a problem. A majority of my images have oceans, rivers, or some bodies of water in them. In regards to the ocean I am simply drawn to how massive, how beautiful, and how mesmerizing it can be watching the waves draw to the shore. I think the smaller versions remind me of my love for the sea. Hey I guess we shoot what is pleasing to us, right?
This image comes from Wyandotte County Lake once again. There is a wee itty bitty pier that looks much longer here that what it truly is here. The water was deathly still because they have restricted boats from being on the water for the season and I arrived early enough that there was still a little fog on some of the lake. I was shooting directly into the sunrise and it was tough enough trying to keep the "light bubbles" off the frame but in the end they kind of produced a dreamy effect for my tastes.
From behind the camera I find myself with a toothache today. I dread the dentist. I have horror stories as child from dentist visits in my early childhood. So next week I will have to find time to get it examined and then endure the pain of both the drill (ugh) and the cost of said torture.

Herb Robert is one of my favourite wild flowers, so tiny that it's easy to overlook its beauty. In European folk medicine, the plant was used as a remedy for nosebleeds and toothache. The unpleasant odor of freshly picked, crushed leaves is said to repel mosquitoes which gives it one of several common names, 'stinky bob'. The flower buds were thought to resemble a stork’s bill (another name, cranesbill), and this association suggested that the plant might enhance fertility. Outdoors, the plant was said to bring good luck, but if you took it indoors, death was sure to follow (hence the name 'death come quickly'). The association with death was enhanced by the name Robert, a folk name for a devilish sprite who liked to cause trouble for people, though I've read elsewhere that it was named after a monk, Robert, who liked to use it in his healing work. Interestingly, it can often be found growing on or near to the sites of old monasteries, which gives credence to this idea.

Great Linnaeus describes two family members of our plant: Urens and Insipida, and then this Oleracea under the name Spilanthes, devised by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin (1727-1817). But curiously he doesn't remark on the 'Electric' quality of this little daisy which hails from Central South America (Brazil and Paraquay). Whence its name in English: Para Cress.
A more complete and rather more fascinating description is given by Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet de Lamarck (1744-1829) in his Encyclopedia of 1785. Under the generic name 'Bidens' he describes it as numbing the mouth and causing an excess of saliva. In English it's sometimes called the Toothache Plant because chewing the buds or flowerheads masks any oral pain. And its taste - as I discovered, too, this morning - has an electric quality to it. In fact, I didn't just carefully chew a single floret but brashly popped an entire bud: an hour later my mouth was still numb...

Hey Frederick/ The Jefferson Airplane
"How old do you have to be to stop your believing..."
Volunteers
"Either go away or go all the way in
Look at what you hold
Come back down on a spear of silence
When it flies
You go on through
You come on through
The ridiculous no
Oh no
One more pair of
Loving eyes look down on you
Sheets and a pillow
How old will you have to be before you
Stop believing
That those eyes will look down on you
That way forever
There you sit mouth wide open
Animals nipping at your sides
On wire wheels the four stroke man
Opens wide
The marching sound
The constant ride
On the gasket is mine
All mine
One more pair of
Wire wheels bear down on you
Gear stripping the willow
How many machine men will you see before you
Stop believing that speed
Will slide down on you
Like breaks in bad weather..."
I have a lot of photos of this tiny wild flower on my photo stream and couldn't miss this year, although I have left it a bit late for the flowers to be in perfect condition, especially after yesterday's heavy rain.
Herb Robert is one of my favourite wild flowers, tiny but exquisite with pinkish mauve and silver colouring and a lovely satin sheen to the petals.
In European folk medicine, the plant was used as a remedy for nosebleeds and toothache. The unpleasant odour of freshly picked, crushed leaves is said to repel mosquitoes which gives it one of several common names, 'stinky bob'. The flower buds were thought to resemble a stork’s bill (another name, cranesbill), and this association suggested that the plant might enhance fertility.

Both in England and abroad it was believed to be the plant of the house goblin, the German Knecht Ruprecht, and in England Robin Goodfellow. 16th Century mentions of this creature make him hairy, red-featured, sometimes wearing a red suit and carrying a candlestick so common qualities with the plant include colour, hairiness and candlestick beaks.
It is considered the vegetable counterpart to the Robin which can bring good luck if treated kindly or conversely terrible mishaps if killed or its nest destroyed.
We were lucky to have seen it this time in bloom as the patch is some distance from where I live. Ginger is used for a wide variety of ailments ranging from toothaches, rheumatism to blood circulation....wow it is an amazing plant....
Another from the archives seeing the light of day due to todays toothache etc. I'd like to think that I was making a point regarding how people manage to despoil even places such as this but, to be honest, it was so long ago that I have no idea.
Considering that this was in the bad ol' days preceding an ND Grad in my bag I'm pretty pleased with the exposure and, looking back, I believe that this was my first outing with what is now my 'old faithful' Sigma 17-70. 😁
On reflection I think a re-edit is called for so this image may 'improve' at some point!
My neighbours. I didn't watch a single second of the coronation. My thoughts on it are best summed up here -
"Royalty, they declare, “does not hinder” the country’s progress and works out cheaper than a president if you count all the expense of elections, and so on and so forth. Such speeches by Labour leaders typify a facet of their “idiosyncrasies” which cannot be called anything other than conservative blockheadedness. Royalty is weak as long as the bourgeois parliament is the instrument of bourgeois rule and as long as the bourgeoisie has no need of extra-parliamentary methods. But the bourgeoisie can if necessary use royalty as the focus of all extra-parliamentary, i.e. real forces directed against the working class. The British bourgeoisie itself has well understood the danger of even the most fictitious monarchy. Thus in 1837 the British government abolished the title of the Great Mogul in India and deported its incumbent from the holy city of Delhi, in spite of the fact that by this time this title had become only a nominal one: the British bourgeois understood that under certain conditions the Great Mogul could become the focal point of a struggle of Indian upper-class circles against British rule.
To proclaim a socialist programme and at the same time to declare that royalty “does not hinder” it and comes cheaper is just the same as, for example, acknowledging materialist science but having recourse to a witch’s incantations against toothache on the grounds that the witch comes cheaper. In such a “trifle” the whole man is expressed, along with his spurious acknowledgement of materialist science and the complete falsity of his ideological system. For a socialist the question of the monarchy is not decided by today’s book-keeping, especially when the books are cooked. It is a matter of the complete overturn of society and of purging it of all elements of oppression. Such a task, both politically and psychologically, excludes any conciliation with the monarchy.

i'm waiting for letter poems....
who want's to write me a letter poem?
(i'm sorry for not comment on as much as you expect... soon i'll catch up... that's a promise...)
"Letter-Poem, a Dickinson Genre" does not contend that Emily Dickinson was the only or the first poet to use letters to transmit poetry, to formulate letters as poetry, to exploit the poetic and epistolary so that they inflect, enrich, even become one another.
Keats and other of her forebears, as well as a host of her descendants, blend the genres in various ways and for a wide range of purposes resulting in an even wider range of effects. In his 1958 introduction to The Letters of Emily Dickinson, Thomas H. Johnson remarked the oft-quoted editorial "doubt where the letter leaves off and the poem begins" (L, p. xv). Sixteen years later, her eminent biographer Richard B. Sewall identified producing "letter-poems" as a familial as well as an artistic practice: "[Dickinson's father] Edward's sister Elizabeth was not only the chronicler but the bard of her generation. She once sent her young nephew Austin a rhymed letter of fifty stanzas on his toothache" (Life 32). Sometimes Dickinson enclosed poems on a separate sheet with a letter; sometimes poems (especially to Susan Dickinson) constitute the entire text of a letter; sometimes a few lines of a poem recorded in the fascicles or in another letter or on a sheet not bound to any manuscript book, either literally with string or figuratively by being sent to a particular addressee, are woven into the prose of a letter.

Equinacea originates from North America and was employed by the indigenous Indians. Information about the use of the plant from traditional healers ranges from external application for wounds, burns and insect bites to the chewing of roots for toothache and throat infections, and internal application for pain, coughs, stomach cramps and snake bites.
The interest of white settlers was also drawn to this medicinal plant. The first Echinacea preparation, known as Meyers Blood Purifier, arrived on the market around 1880, with rheumatism, neuralgia and rattlesnake bites as indications. At the beginning of the 20th century, Echinacea was the most frequently used plant preparation in the USA.
Commercial cultivation was started in Germany around 1939. Chemists and pharmacologists became interested in Echinacea and many constituents are now known, such as polysaccharides, echinacoside, cichoric acid, ketoalkenes and alkylamides. The extracts exhibit immunostimulant properties and are mainly used in the prophylaxis and therapy of colds, flu and septic complaints.
Late afternoon in the German town of Heidelberg. Next morning I was struck down with a horrible virus that totally wiped me out and one that I still don't feel fully free of. Add toothache to that and it was quite a miserable holiday away :-(
For a long time ago there have been rumors about small alien community in Split. Apart from unresolved disappearances of several trekkie aficionados, the matter never caught attention of serious ufologists. However, data stream from one of our survey posts clearly indicates that aliens are among us, and are of species 8472, i.e. fluidic space dwellers. 8472 are metamorphs, but they seem to naturally drop their camouflage in vicinity of rogue Asian tourists. Something tells us that Cholo instantly forgot about his toothache when witnessing alien presence, though another question emerged – how exactly is etva connected with fluidic space?

Skunk cabbage is used in medicine for a wide variety of conditions. It is used to treat breathing problems including swollen airways (bronchitis), asthma, cough, and whooping cough. It is also used for painful conditions such as joint and muscle pain (rheumatism), headache, and toothache. It is found on pond margins, stream sides, bogs and wet woodlands. and is not native with in the Uk and is an inavasive plant in Scotland
Excerpt from fribourgtourisme.ch:
Fribourg is a town of bridges. The Sainte-Apolline Bridge lies on a route that has been travelled since ancient times, now reserved for hikers who come to admire the tiny neighbouring chapel.
The current bridge was built in the 15th or 16th century. Its unique 18-metre arch is made of tuff. Newlyweds and romantics come here to have their photographs taken.
A chapel existed in the 12th century, but was destroyed by fire. The current building bears the date of its reconstruction in 1566. The sanctuary is dedicated to Saint Apollonia, a 3rd century martyr from Alexandria. Her torturers are said to have broken her teeth one by one before throwing her on the fire.
Archaeologists have found numerous decayed teeth around the oratory: people came here to pray for the healing of toothache. Saint Apollonia is often represented with large pliers holding a molar. A dental surgery has even used this image in its advertising.
Toothworts
Molars, purpled from chewing blood,
Mouth the air. Like a fractured jaw,
It atrophies in brown senescence,
Shrivelled in mortal sequence.
Then come canines, each slick blade
A channelled fang on forest floor.
Curtailed questions, curt statements:
Death in life, blanched and bland.
Notes: Toothworts, pictured here on the grounds of a Roman villa, parasitize the roots of trees, and contain no chlorophyll. The doctrine of signatures dictated that these corpse-like flowers were good for toothache, because they look so much like molars. As Grigson, The Englishman’s Flora points out, “the corolla rapidly dries and shrivels to a dark brown, so that on a spike at one time fresh flowers on top are succeeded by shrivelled flowers below, adding to the plant’s deathliness.” Moreover, the capsules “are ivory-white and shiny and channelled like small fangs.” Fortunately for the plants they parasitize, but not for enthusiasts, these botanical vampires are comparatively rare. See also Richard Mabey, Flora Britannica, p. 336.
