The people who count a lot make us sensitive because we are not indifferent.😉

The Plaza de España is a plaza in the Parque de María Luisa (Maria Luisa Park), in Seville, Spain. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles of Spanish architecture.
In 1929, Seville hosted the Ibero-American Exposition World's Fair, located in the celebrated Maria Luisa Park (Parque de María Luisa). The park gardens were designed by Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier. The entire southern end of the city was redeveloped into an expanse of gardens and grand boulevards.
The centre of it is Parque de María Luisa, designed in a "Moorish paradisical style", with a half mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds, benches, and exhedras; lush plantings of palms, orange trees, Mediterranean pines, and stylized flower beds. Numerous buildings were constructed in the park to provide spaces for the exhibition.
Plaza de España
The Plaza de España, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.
Many tiled alcoves were built around the plaza, each representing a different province of Spain. The Plaza's tiled Alcoves of the Provinces are frequent backdrops for visitors' portrait photographs, taken in their own home province. Each alcove is flanked by a pair of covered bookshelves, now used by visitors in the manner of a "Little Free Library". Each bookshelf often contains works with information about their province. Visitors have also donated favorite novels and other books for others to read.
Today the buildings of the Plaza de España have been renovated and adapted for use as offices for government agencies. The central government departments, with sensitive adaptive redesign, are located within it. Toward the end of the park, the grandest mansions from the fair have been adapted as museums. The most distant museum contains the city's archaeology collections. The main exhibits are Roman mosaics and artefacts from nearby Italica.
The Plaza de España has been used as a filming location, including scenes for Lawrence of Arabia (1962). The building was used as a location in the Star Wars movie series Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) — in which it featured in exterior shots of the City of Theed on the Planet Naboo.[4] It also featured in the 2012 film The Dictator. The 2023 Netflix series, Kaos, also featured scenes filmed at the Plaza.
The plaza was used as a set for the video of Simply Red's song "Something Got Me Started".
Just minutes after dawn, BNSF 3783 hustles a hot Chicago to Portland Z train along the banks of the Columbia River at Wishram. With time-sensitive shipments aboard, the Z train receives royal treatment from the Fallbridge Sub Dispatcher. The much slower G FLWVAW9 06A is seen waiting at Avery. Meanwhile further west, the H PASTAC1 06A is taking the siding at Cooks. The BNSF 3783 should see nothing but green signals as it races along the final 100-mile stretch to Portland.

Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday, everyone! :)
And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
This tiny Powderpuff flower is all of 2 inches high. I got down on the gravelly street to take this picture with my iPhone.
An amazing structure. A globe of straight shiny stamens, each ending in a yellow pollen dot. The stem is a bit fuzzy but straight and sturdy despite it's small size. An elegant weed indeed!
Sensitive Briar is a small, thorny, ground-growing vine that is sensitive at the slightest touch. It is found in clearings, open woods and roadsides throughout Florida.

This species like many other species breeding in open meadows has been in decline over the past 70 or so years, due the loss of suitable habitat and the more frequent harvesting of hay. The Washington County Grasslands provide such habitat and many fields there are harvested late or sometimes only every other year. Both Bobolink and Meadowlark can be seen there regularly during breeding season. (Bobolink | Reisstärling | Goglu des prés)
"The hand of little employment hath the daintier sense."

They can afford to be sensitive.
The Australian water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii), which includes the eastern water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii) and the Gippsland water dragon (Intellagama lesueurii howittii) subspecies, is a semi aquatic agamid species native to eastern Australia from Victoria northwards to Queensland. There may be a small introduced population on the south-east coast of South Australia. The Gippsland water dragon is generally the more southern of the two subspecies and the more cold adapted and heat sensitive. Visually distinguishing the Gippsland water dragon from the Eastern water dragon is relatively easy, as long as their skin is reasonably clean and not stained from the water, as identification of the two subspecies depends largely on observable differences in colours and patterns.

"A Sensitive Plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light.
And closed them beneath the kisses of Night."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Troço dos passadiços de madeira inseridos na Paisagem Protegida das Lagoas de Bertiandos e São Pedro de Arcos, localizada no concelho de Ponte de Lima, distrito de Viana do Castelo. Esta infraestrutura elevada é um elemento técnico fundamental para a gestão do ecoturismo na região, permitindo a circulação de visitantes por meio de zonas sensíveis sem causar a compactação do solo ou danos à vegetação ribeirinha envolvente. Classificada como Zona Húmida de Importância Internacional e integrante da Rede Natura 2000, esta área protegida abrange cerca de 350 hectares e teve a sua origem na dinâmica hidrológica histórica do rio Lima. O sistema de passadiços atravessa um mosaico complexo de habitats, que inclui lagoas permanentes, bosques aluviais dominados por amieiros e salgueiros, e áreas de pastagem. A estrutura visível na fotografia protege o ecossistema pantanoso subjacente, caracterizado por uma densa flora higrófila, essencial para a filtragem natural da água e para o refúgio de diversas espécies de avifauna e anfíbios que encontram neste santuário natural do Norte de Portugal um habitat preservado.
A section of the wooden boardwalks located within the Protected Landscape of the Bertiandos and São Pedro de Arcos Lagoons, situated in the municipality of Ponte de Lima, district of Viana do Castelo. This elevated infrastructure is a key technical element for managing ecotourism in the region, allowing visitors to move through sensitive areas without causing soil compaction or damage to the surrounding riparian vegetation. Classified as a Wetland of International Importance and part of the Natura 2000 Network, this protected area covers approximately 350 hectares and originated from the historical hydrological dynamics of the Lima River. The boardwalk system traverses a complex mosaic of habitats, including permanent lagoons, alluvial forests dominated by alders and willows, and grazing areas. The structure visible in the photograph protects the underlying marsh ecosystem, characterized by dense hygrophilous flora, which is essential for natural water filtration and serves as a refuge for various species of birds and amphibians that find a preserved habitat in this natural sanctuary in northern Portugal.
“A nanny, by being the child's doughty defender, may put sensitive noses out of joint.” – Jacob Rees-Mogg (British politician)
Antique jewellery can often be not just beautiful, but also a wonderful window into a time gone by, such as this charming antique nanny brooch dating from the Victorian era. Dating from the 1880s, this was, as the name suggests, worn by the family nanny as a traditional brooch and when she was out with the children, if they tore a hole or seam in their clothing whilst playing, it could quickly be repaired thanks to the hollow section in the centre that contained needle and thread. Made simply of brass and set with a goldstone or aventurine with a stylised fleur de lys leaf pattern to either side of it, the brooch measures 48.8 millimetres in length by 6 millimetres wide at the centre, and one end cleverly unscrews to allow the needle and thread to be kept securely inside and ready at a moment's notice.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 1st of September is "needles". I immediately thought of an etui (a small ornamental case for holding needles) of which I have several in my possession. Then I remembered that my mother gave me an antique nanny brooch a few years ago. She had great pleasure watching my face light up with delight as I unscrewed the secret compartment to reveal the needle and threads, more than a century old, carefully ensconced in the bar of the brooch. Although not made in gold or platinum, or set with sapphires or diamonds, there is no doubt that this antique nanny brooch is just as charming as any antique brooch and certainly a wonderful talking point. One can almost imagine the scene now with rambunctious children of a wealthy Victorian era family playing in a park, whilst under the caring gaze of Nanny. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
