being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it, or you want get it. First you must lose your self. Then it happens :-)

No group invitation and graphics please.. Thanks!
For me, life can be as sensitive as little droplets...
“Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It’s a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan…”

I had one of the most exciting butterfly experiences so far yesterday!
Having travelled a little way to a local woods to find the elusive pearl bordered fritillary, I got well and truly lost thanks to my atrocious map reading skills and tramped miles...eventually finding myself on some sort of motor rally track 😨
Heading back uphill, the map finally began to make sense (!) and after nearing my target area I saw the welcome sight of a fellow enthusiast, camera around neck, scanning the ground - thank you Jon!
The area of scrubland the butterflies love is very sensitive as there are caterpillars in the leaf litter and of course food sources need protecting too, so we waited for a long time for one of these beauties to land close enough to the path to photograph well.
Eventually this stunning butterfly chose to rest on the gorse, with its perfect complementary colours. Even better, a large cloud came over just at that moment so it decided to stay put and pose beautifully for a while. What luck!
Apologies for the long write up...but I'm still buzzing with excitement!
it's me looking around ... thinking about life .... sinful ... sensitive ... use your imagination ...
This pretty yellow wildflower grows in meadows, fields, prairies, and along roadsides in the mid and eastern states of America. It is also known as the Sensitive Plant because the leaves fold together when touched. They grow in dry or moist soil and in sun or partial shade. Partridge Peas are annuals which grow from 1 to 3 feet tall and bloom from June through October. Bees and butterflies are attracted to their bright yellow blooms. HMM

A composite of the same bird with two different sides of it. This is one of the rarest of all warblers found in Ontario. They are flagged as 'sensitive' species on eBird and thus no report of sighting is available to public in general.
After years of restoration effort of their habitat in Simcoe County Forest, about an hour drive north of Toronto, 6 males showed up this year with the exciting prospect that females would soon follow and they start breeding there. Arranged visitation was organized to allow people to see or hear them from safe distance. One could hear them sing and occasionally see them at a distance. However, finding them closer and out in the open was sheer luck. On this day (it was my second attempt), after an hour of waiting I finally saw one male chasing a Cedar Waxwing and landing on a red pine tree nearby for a total of 20 seconds of viewing, just enough to get some decent photos. Needless to say that it was a life bird for me.
Cat's are sensitive beings.
Jeffrey clearly senses, that things in the world of his people are not normal.
I will not post here for a while, since I have work to do.
But will check my Flickr mail regularly.
Take care out there, while we work and wait for better times.
Dartford Warbler - Sylvia Undata
The Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata) iDs a typical warbler from the warmer parts of western Europe and northwestern Africa. It is a small warbler with a long thin tail and a thin pointed bill. The adult male has grey-brown upperparts and is dull reddish-brown below except for the centre of the belly which has a dirty white patch. It has light speckles on the throat and a red eye-ring. The sexes are similar but the adult female is usually less grey above and paler below.
Its breeding range lies west of a line from southern England to the heel of Italy (southern Apulia). The Dartford warbler is usually resident all year in its breeding range, but there is some limited migration.
The Dartford warbler was first described by the Welsh naturalist Thomas Pennant from two specimens that were shot in April 1773 on Bexley Heath near Dartford in Kent.
The species is naturally rare. The largest European populations of Sylvia undata are in the Iberian peninsula, others in much of France, in Italy and southern England and south Wales. In Africa it can be found only in small areas in the north, wintering in northern Morocco and northern Algeria.
In southern England the birds breed on heathlands, sometimes near the coast, and nest in either common gorse (Ulex europaeus) or common heather (Calluna
Dartford warblers are named for Dartford Heath in north west Kent, where the population became extinct in the early twentieth century. They almost died out in the United Kingdom in the severe winter of 1962/1963 when the national population dropped to just ten pairs. Sylvia undata is also sensitive to drought affecting breeding success or producing heath fires, as occurred during 1975 and 1976 in England when virtually all juveniles failed to survive their first year.
However, this species can recover well in good quality habitat with favourable temperatures and rainfall, thanks to repeated nesting and a high survival rate for the young. Indeed, they recovered in some areas of the UK, but numbers are once again on the decline in other regions of their natural range.
The range of the Dartford warbler is restricted to western and southern Europe. The total population in 2012 was estimated at 1.1–2.5 million breeding pairs. The largest numbers occur in Spain where there were believed to be 983,000–1,750,000 pairs. For reasons that probably include loss of suitable habitat, the Spanish population appears to be declining. The species is therefore classed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being Near threatened.
A period of climatic warming since 1963 has seen the UK population increase to "more than 2,500 pairs in 2006 (Wotton et al. 2009). Expansion into patches of structurally suitable habitat (up to an altitude of 400m), more northerly areas and away from the core of the range, from Dorset and Hampshire to Derbyshire and Suffolk, is likely to have been facilitated by milder winter weather (Wotton et al. 2009, Bradbury et al. 2011)... The Dartford warbler population in the UK is expected to continue to increase. However, future climate-based projections for the European range indicate that by 2080, more than 60% of the current European range may no longer be suitable (Huntley et al 2007). There is evidence that this is happening already, with severe declines in Spain and France (Green 2017). For this reason, the species is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Global Red List. If the declines in southern Europe continue, the UK will become increasingly important for global conservation of this species".

When it became dark enough, and the camera settings were sensitive enough, light was getting picked up on the sea stacks. I couldn't tell if it was all moonlight, or whether there was a component of light from the town of La Push.

According to researchers, a man will gaze at a woman’s lips before gravitating elsewhere over the landscape of her body. (yes, including her chest).
Lips are our body’s most exposed erogenous zone. They are packed with more than a million different nerve endings, making them one of the most sensitive parts of our body.
They are considered a sensually seductive part of our body, and highlighting them in rich glittering colors adds to their alluring qualities.
These Stunner Originals Fantastic Lips exemplify this biological phenomenon. Their sophisticated satin luminous quality draws such beautiful attention to your lips, making them irresistibly kissable. This Fantastic Collection also gives you 25 different deep shades to choose from.
For my eyeshadow, I wanted a sexy and dramatic look. That said, I selected the M&T Garage Giada EvoX eyeshadow in metallic blue with winged eyeliner. This Giada collection comes in 6 gorgeous color options.
Wearing this blue hue brings out my eyes correctly and makes them pop. I adjusted the eyeshadow color density to 60% for a demurer appearance.
Both the Stunner Originals Fantastic Lips and the M&T Garage Giada Eyeshadow are exclusively available at Swank’s "Wild Spring Event" for March 2023.
