Another shot of this really very photogenic location. I disliked this shot at first - it's got a lot wrong with it technically. The sky is blown out, it has vignetting at the edges.
But, as I was thinking about the composition overall, and the imperfections - I realized that I couldn't stop looking at this image. I love the straight on portrait mode with these old houses. It formalizes their witness to time and the elements. It shows off their scars, and it gives them a certain proudness. This house has seen things, and you can't help but to see that immediately in this image. It reminds me of Harry Truman in a way. Not the president. The old codgeter that wouldn't leave his house on the flanks of Mt. St. Helens. He's under a lot of that mountain now, but he was proud and unwilling to give up his lived experiences in that place. This house seems to be stating something similar. 'I took care of mine. I did that right here. I am proud I did my job, and content in my fate.'
That is what this image says to me.
. . . time sensitive & very temporary art
by the time i got back from taking this photo the sun had melted it all away . . .
my most favorite of photo's taken are of those special fleeting
moments . . . f o r e v e r captured, shared & enjoyed
Also known as "shameplant", apparently. "Mimosa pudica is a creeping annual or perennial herb of the pea family Fabaceae often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later...the species epithet, pudica, is Latin for 'bashful' or 'shrinking', alluding to its shrinking reaction to contact." - Wikipedia
The people who count a lot make us sensitive because we are not indifferent.😉

The photos show variations of colour patterns in the same trigger plant species within a small area of Lesueur National Park in Southwest Australia. I do not know if hybridisation occurs in this species which would offer an alternative explanation, but the Herbarium of Western Australia found a very low natural hybridization rate of 0.04% in over 12000 collected Stylidum specimens in the Southwest Australian Floristic Region. Trigger plants get their name from their unique pollination method. The centre of the flower is sensitive to touch. When an insect goes to seek nectar the club-shaped trigger springs up from under the petals and hits the insect on the back dusting it with pollen. All triggers in the photos are in their cocked/untriggered state when they are hidden behind the
flower.

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)

This old fridge is (for some reason) strapped in this orientation to the construction fence that surrounds the M building in Minot, ND. I love the textures in this image and the layering. But I am always left wondering why that fridge is in this orientation.
Annie Girardot was our greatest and most famous french actress in the 70ies. She was known by a part of the world when she played in Rocco and his brothers (Visconti) with Alain Delon, Renato Salvatori and the very young Claudia Cardinale. Renato Salvatori became her husband and the father of Julia Salvatori, their daughter.
Annie Girardot had this terrible desease that Rita Hayworth had long long ago : Azeilmer desease.
My sweet friend Añelo learnt me Annie's death by mail this evening and we both cried on her.
A fan immediatly opened a Facebook at her name and people can write sweet words for her and her family.
Annie could make us laugh and cry - she was a beautiful lady full of generosity and interest for other people. She could be many women - she was the first feminine actress to play lawyer, surgeon, doctor,........ great parts they usually give to men.
She had a beautiful and sensitive way of looking at people, things,......
her soul and heart were reflected in her beautiful brown eyes.
Please, do have a thought for her - she really deserves this. She is a part of French Cinéma, a part of France. She had studied in the Conservatoire of theater of Paris (like Jeanne Moreau to whom journalists liked to compare her).
Merci - Thank you -
and thank you dear Añelo.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford_Lake_Conservation_Area:
Crawford Lake Conservation Area is a conservation area owned and operated by Conservation Halton near the community of Campbellville in Milton, Halton, Ontario, Canada. It is categorized as a regional environmentally sensitive area, an Ontario Area of Natural and Scientific Interest, and part of the Niagara Escarpment world biosphere reserve. The conservation area contains Crawford Lake, a reconstructed Iroquoian village, and several hiking trails.
A study conducted in 1971 determined that the lake is meromictic, which makes the lake a prime site for archaeological and geochemical studies. Using pollen analysis, reconstruction of the history of the area over several hundred years was possible. Geochemical analysis of sediment cores has allowed for the reconstruction of the pollution history of the area. This analysis revealed the trends and sources of air pollution over approximately 150 years. Crawford Lake is unusual in that its monimolimnion contains dissolved oxygen, in contrast to the anoxic basin waters typical of meromictic lakes.
The pollen analysis revealed corn pollen, indicating a possible Iroquoian settlement nearby, as corn was a staple of their agriculture. A search of the surrounding area found a grindstone, which would have been used in such a village. Digs of the area just south of the grindstone revealed the foundations of an eleven-longhouse village. The village, thought to be inhabited by either the Wendat (Huron) or Neutral Confederacy peoples, has been reconstructed in the conservation area and is based on many years of research by archaeologists, who continue to study the site. The reconstructed fifteenth century Iroquoian village is open seasonally and for special events. The site offers interpretive programs of Iroquoian life and culture and has three reconstructed longhouses and a palisade, although the original village did not have a palisade. One longhouse is used to display contemporary indigenous art and artifacts recovered from past digs. The longhouses are representative of life in the village at the time, with fireplaces, fur-lined bunk beds, and various items used at the time.
The lake is named after the Crawford family, who lived on the site and donated the land to the conservation authority. Their house remained there until it burned down. All that survived was the front porch that was constructed of cement. The Crawford family also owned a cedar tree farm on the opposite side of the lake.
The conservation area also has 19 kilometres (12 mi) of hiking and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails with connections to Bruce Trail. A boardwalk trail circles the lake, protecting the environment while allowing access. The trail is decorated with various sculptures and artistic benches. Another trail leads to the escarpment, and another connects to nearby Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area.
In July 2023, Crawford Lake was chosen as the "golden spike" by the Anthropocene Working Group as the clear marker for the beginning of the Anthropocene epoch. The unique conditions of the lake preserves layers of sediment similar to tree rings used in dendrochronology; the presence of plutonium in the layer of lake mud dated to 1950 has been set as the beginning of the new proposed epoch.
“Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”

Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) (නිදිකුම්බා) is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. The compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken, defending themselves from harm, and re-open a few minutes later. It grows mostly in undisturbed shady areas, under trees or shrubs. The species is native to South America and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
There is a large herd of about 50 or more deer on the Lagoon Creek reserve.
Deer – Chital
Scientific name - Cervus axis
Other common names - Chital deer, Axis deer, Indian spotted deer.
Origin - India, Nepal and Sri Lanka
Distinctive characteristics - White throat patch and white spots. Dark dorsal stripe and band over muzzle. Noticeably long tail compared with other deer species.
Identification - Feral chital deer are a small-medium sized species. Their coat colour is variable, but is often dark to rusty red with uniformly marked white spots in lines along the body. They have a distinctive white throat patch and a dark muzzle. The coat colour of the inner legs and underside of the belly is white-beige. This species is often found in medium to large groups. Mature males have antlers that are smooth and slender with usually three tines on each, though the number of tines is influenced by animal condition. Antlers may be 70-89 cm in length. Males are larger in size and weight (90 cm and 85 kg) than females (80cm and 60 kg). Chital have a distinctive high-pitch alarm call when disturbed. Scats are small cylindrical pellets sometimes with an indentation at one end.
History and Biology - Chital deer were initially introduced to Australia from Sri Lanka and India in 1802 but did not survive. They were later successfully released into Queensland in the 1860's. Chital deer are herbivores that browse on a variety of grasses, fruit and leaves. They are gregarious and can form groups of more than 100 individuals. They do not have a defined breeding season, and are capable of producing three offspring in two years. Chital deer will eat their shed antlers if their diet is lacking the vitamins and minerals. Females will separate from the herd during birthing and rearing of young.
Distribution - Feral chital deer occur in many areas throughout Queensland, small areas in NSW, Victoria and the south-east of South Australia. They are absent from other regions.
Habitat - They can be found in a variety of habitats, including open grasslands, open and closed woodlands, thick forests and heavily timbered farmland.
Damage - Feral chital deer are a growing pest threat. They can cause significant browsing damage to native vegetation, damage sensitive habitats and compete with livestock for pasture. They can damage forestry plantations and ornamental gardens. They are not often found in close proximity to humans but they do present a serious motorway hazard. Feral chital deer may carry and spread livestock diseases that can cause production losses and increased management costs.
