Photo-a-day 93: Flower

20120402-230817.jpg

It’s Wendy’s last day on her current ward tomorrow, and she’s bought a lovely bag of flowers for her supervisor. I don’t think I ever did that in hospital medicine… she must be a nicer person than me!

Photo-a-day 92: Arthur’s Seat

20120401-162211.jpg

This is Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh, formed by a 350 million year old volcano, which was partly worn away by a glacier a couple of million years ago. I don’t remember any of that myself (it was a little before my time), but I have it on good authority.

Arthur’s Seat is also an important religious site for Mormons, where Orson Pratt prayed for two hundred new converts almost two hundred years ago. These were duly delivered over the course of ten months. I wonder if, in retrospect, he wished he’d been a little more ambitious and prayed for, say, eradication of all human suffering. Maybe that would’ve been greedy.
