Our backyard pond is filled with #goldfish and #koi with some of them being quite large.One of my favourite #lilies is this superb pink lily with yellow center, #nymphaeaceae. I love the deep rich yellow centre and the blushing petals.

Something different from my usual wild horses. Just got back from a trip to North Carolina's Outer Banks and Cape Hatteras National Seashore. These sunrises made it worth getting up in the dark.

The bearded bright yellow and white splash #Iris, #Iradaceae, has a very vibrant presence in the spring garden. Bright lemon #yellow standards with partially white falls and deep yellow beards, this showy Iris is like a burst of #sunshine in the garden.

“Even a mild case of #COVID19 can increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis, a new study shows. Researchers found that rates of many conditions, such as heart failure & stroke, were substantially higher in people who had recovered from COVID than in similar people who hadn’t had the disease. What’s more, the risk was elevated even for those who were under 65 years of age and lacked risk factors, such as obesity or diabetes.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00403-0
