The color of passion and energy. Red draws attention like no other color and radiates a strong and powerful energy that motivates us to take action. It is also linked to sexuality and stimulates deep and intimate passion. Red is ubiquitously used to warn and signal caution and danger.
There are 9 types of echinacea, three of which are used for medicinal purposes, native to North America. In herbal medicine, the leaves and seeds of this plant are used, but its roots have the most valuable healing properties.
For centuries, Echinacea has endowed people with its extraordinary beauty and healing properties. For its lovely inflorescences, Echinacea is called the "American golden flower" or "evening sun". And today, with its unusually attractive inflorescences, it will decorate any garden, and beekeepers will appreciate it - after all, it is an excellent honey plant. Blooming from mid-summer to mid-autumn, Echinacea flowers attract many butterflies, bees and bumblebees to the garden. As a honey plant, the plant is valuable because it blooms at the end of summer, when the main honey plants have already faded. From one hectare of continuous crops of echinacea, 60-130 kg of honey can be obtained.
Only Echinacea purpurea has been well studied, it is widely used in medicine and is popular in ornamental gardening. The American Indians, knowing about the healing power of echinacea, cultivated it centuries ago and used it as a universal medicine for a variety of diseases.
Echinacea roots and herb contain essential oils, resins, phytosterols, carbohydrates, isobutylamides, fatty oil, and a variety of other substances. 7 groups of biologically active substances have been found in plants, which include polysaccharides, flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives, essential lipids, alkylamides, vitamins and trace elements.
Experts recommend taking echinacea for any septic conditions, symptoms of blood poisoning, meningitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, burns, boils and purulent ulcers, gangrene, stomatitis, gum disease, candidiasis, psoriasis, eczema, inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system, postlercosis , gonorrhea, herpes, hemorrhoids.
As it turned out, echinacea not only stimulates antiviral and antibacterial immunity, but also directly, like antibiotics, causes the death of bacteria, viruses and some fungi. It is especially effective to use echinacea during epidemics, as it helps the body to cope with viral diseases. Echinacea extracts inhibit the growth and reproduction of streptococcus, staphylococcus, Escherichia coli. The preparations of this plant are effective in the treatment of prostatitis, gynecological disorders, various wound processes (trophic ulcers, osteomyelitis). Juice from fresh inflorescences accelerates blood clotting. In general, the remedy is recognized as non-toxic, but in some cases it is not recommended to take echinacea - during pregnancy and lactation, with tuberculosis, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, collagenosis.

This is a very old photo that for some reason had been labeled as private in my photostream, all I did was change its status, I have not re-released it, my apologies if it has appeared as a "new" post, I would not have done it if I'd known as this is some really early work that does not represent my current output. Sorry for the inconvenience.
location: North America, Europe
edibility: Deadly
fungus colour: Red or redish or pink
normal size: 5-15cm
cap type: Convex to shield shaped
stem type: Ring on stem, Volva on stem
spore colour: White, cream or yellowish
habitat: Grows in woods, Grows on the ground
Amanita muscaria (L. ex Fr.) Hooker Fly Agaric, Amanite tue-mouches, Fausse Oronge Roter Fliegenpilz Cap 8–20cm across, globose or hemispherical at first then flattening, bright scarlet covered with distinctive white pyramidal warts which may be washed off by rain leaving the cap almost smooth and the colour fades. Stem 80–180×10–20mm, white, often covered in shaggy volval remnants as is the bulbous base, the white membranous ring attached to the stem apex sometimes becoming flushed yellow from the pigment washed off the cap. Flesh white, tinged red or yellow below the cap cuticle, Taste pleasant, smell faint. Gills free, white. Spore print white. Spores broadly ovate, nonamyloid, 9.5–10.5×7–8µ. Habitat usually with birch trees, Season late summer to late autumn. Common. Deadly poisonous. It contains many different toxins see below. Distribution, America and Europe.
This is one of the easiest species to recognize and describe, and consequently its properties have been well documented for centuries. The common name Fly Agaric comes from the practice of breaking the cap into platefuls of milk, used since medieval times to stupefy flies. It is a strong hallucinogen and intoxicant and was used as such by the Lapps. In such cases the cap is dried and swallowed without chewing. The symptoms begin twenty minutes to two hours after ingestion. The central nervous system is affected and the muscles of the intoxicated person start to pull and twitch convulsively, followed by dizzines and a death-like sleep. During this stage the mushrooms are often vomited but nevertheless the drunkenness and stupor continue. While in this state of stupor, the person experiences vivid visions and on waking is usually filled with elation and is physically very active. This is due to the nerves being highly stimulated, the slightest effort of will producing exaggerated physical effects, e.g. the intoxicated person will make a gigantic leap to clear the smallest obstacle. The Lapps may have picked up the habit of eating the Fly Agaric through observing the effects of the fungus on reindeer, which are similarly affected. Indeed, they like it so much that all one has to do to round up a wandering herd is to scatter pieces of Fly Agaric on the ground. Another observation the Lapps made from the reindeer was that the intoxicating compounds in the fungus can be recycled by consuming the urine of an intoxicated person. The effects of consuming this species are exceedingly unpredictable; some people remain unaffected while others have similar, or different, symptoms to those above, and at least one death is attributed to A. muscaria. This unpredictability is due to the fungus containing different amounts of the toxins ibotenic acid and muscimol according to season, method of cooking and ingestion, as well as the subject’s state of mind. Ibotenic acid is mostly concentrated in the coloured skin of the cap. This very unstable compound rapidly degrades on drying to form muscimol which is five to ten times more potent. Traditionally, where A. muscaria is used as an inebriant, it is the dried cap which is taken.

For this week's Macro Monday's theme "Blues" I used my favorite and challenging technique of high speed macro of paint stimulated by a subwoofer.
The Stimulator pattern dry flies are typically used for trout fishing. These feature a brilliant orange base thread.
In 2020 I saw, for the first time, this entirely flowered African tree in the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden. The exotic form of the flowers has enchanted me, and the petals (so difficult to photograph because they are curly) have a color pattern and drawing that reminds me of the skin of a leopard.
In my last visit to the Botanical Garden, I found some remaining flowers hidden under the large leaves. The focus is not on the best, but the beauty of the set has impressed me again.
Monodora Myristica / Nutmeg-African or Tree-of-Orchids
Origin: occurs more often in West Africa, but reaches the east of this continent (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania).
Family: Annonaceae.
The tree has medium to large size (7-10 m), branched from the base. Its leaves are showy and decorative, measuring up to 35 cm long by 18 cm wide.
Cultivation: Easy maintenance in tropical and mild subtropical climates, at full or half shade. Prefers deep and fertile soils, rich in organic matter.
The flowers are fragrant and pending, standing out for the large and colorful size very exotic, which resembles that of orchids.
The fruit is woody and large as a gourd where the most valued part is the seed, black and flattened.
These seeds are widely used in Africa in the same way as the nutmeg (fragrans), ie, grated to spicy soups, stews and cakes. They also have medicinal properties, being applied as stimulating and in the treatment of migraine. They are also estimated as an amulet and are good for handicrafts.
In and out for some days.
Be patient with me, Flickr friends ;)

For some reason I just absolutely love the pictures of my flowerbed this time of year especially after the snow added just a touch of winter to the mix. I don't know if it is the textures or the colors or what, I just really love the way they look together!
Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Stimulate your senses....
Nah but seriously the wedge takes a second shot at clearing the drift at Mossley as it continues it's way West to St. Thomas.

Quelle Wikipedia: Die Aktion Grüne Kreuze ist eine Protestaktion deutscher Landwirte, die im Jahr 2019 ins Leben gerufen wurde. Landwirte rufen ihre Kollegen dazu auf, auf eigenen landwirtschaftlichen Flächen an Weg- und Straßenrändern grün angestrichene Kreuze aus Holz aufzustellen. Auf diese Weise können Äcker und Felder als Werbefläche für die Interessen der Landwirte und zu stillem Protest genutzt werden. Mit der Aufstellung der grünen Kreuze protestieren Landwirte gegen neue Regulierungen aus Politik und Verwaltung und für mehr Respekt der Gesellschaft für ihre Arbeit. Die Kreuze sollen ein Mahnzeichen gegenüber Politik und Gesellschaft darstellen und Verbraucher zum Nachdenken anregen.

"The green cross on the field"
Source Wikipedia: The Green Crosses campaign is a protest action by German farmers that was launched in 2019. Farmers call on their colleagues to set up wooden crosses painted green on their own agricultural land at roadsides. In this way, fields can be used as advertising space for the interests of farmers and for silent protest. By putting up the green crosses, farmers are protesting against new regulations from politics and administration and for more respect from society for their work. The crosses should represent a warning sign to politics and society and stimulate consumers to think.
City photography has its appeal. It can be exciting and dynamic, loud and stimulating. However, I'm finding that my senses seem nearly dulled or numbed while feeling immersed in the physical, the concrete, the tangible. Its like when you tune out the white noise of a fan in the room and don't realize the noise until it's gone.
Nature photography appeals to the flip side of my creative coin. It is soft, quiet and thought provoking. It invites me to feel and I become hyper-aware of my surroundings, the mood, the light. Even the sounds of the moment have texture. I wish I had a way to capture that dimension in my photos.
It was interesting to me that within about 30 minutes outside the urban scene of Austin, Tx was the spiritual tranquility of New Sweden. As I took intimate photos of the church, I wanted to see it within the beauty that surrounded it and the peace I felt while there. The mood was created by the distant sound of the farmer working his equipment as the sun fell behind the fields. It was truly spiritual to behold.
a gum stimulator to be exact.

BLACK COFFEE – LACY J DALTON
We couldn't get in at the restaurant we wanted
we didn't think to book
so we were re-directed across the road
and found a cosy comfy nook
this poster caught my eye and so
I pointed shot and took
a little boy from olden days
who caught a big fish on a little hook
the carvery was excellent
I met and congratulated the cook
we piled our plates as high as we could
we signed our names in the visitor's book
the place was a little dark but not shabby
it had it's own style; conversation babbled like a brook
we felt relaxed and satiated and happy
as we left for the theatre for which we DID book
an amateur production of Agatha Christie's
play called Black Coffee; well worth a look
the performers were brilliant; very professional
we couldn't second-guess who was the crook
Hercule Poirot arrived looking a bit dishevelled
in a well-worn well-creased linen jacket he forsook
to press it as well as Captain Hasting's trousers
the audience laughed; our shoulders shook
the stage was set; the lights were dimmed
until the interval came and everyone took
a break for an ice-cream, fresh air and ablutions
returned for the final half of this lesser known book
I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner and visit
to the Palace Theatre as we undertook
to applaud the wonderful players of this play
sad to say goodnight as the room fell dark as a rook.

Regno Unito, Londra, Canary Wharf, Estate 2021
Canary Wharf è un importante quartiere d'affari situato nel West India Docks sulla Isle of Dogs nel quartiere di Tower Hamlets a East London. E' uno di Londra i due principali centri finanziari, accanto alla tradizionale City of London, e contiene molti degli edifici più alti del Regno Unito. Circa 90.000 persone lavorano a Canary Wharf che è sede del quartier generale europeo o mondiale di numerose grandi banche e società di servizi. Il West India Docks, una volta era parte del porto più trafficato del mondo. Dopo la chiusura definitiva delle banchine nel 1980 il governo britannico ha adottato politiche diverse per stimolare la riqualificazione della zona. Nel 1987 la società canadese Olympia e York, ha accettato di costruire uffici sull’Isle of Dogs, con la costruzione che è iniziata a partire dal 1988.

Around 90,000 people work in Canary Wharf and it is home to the world or European headquarters of numerous major banks and professional services firms. The West India Docks once formed part of the busiest port in the world. After the docks were closed in 1980 the British Government adopted various policies to stimulate the redevelopment of the area. In 1987 the Canadian company Olympia and York agreed to construct a major office development on the Isle of Dogs, with construction commencing in 1988.

--- the colour and the caffeine! A less than subtle change of subject today — here's a picture I've had pending for a while. In a coastal café west of Palma de Mallorca, the aroma of freshly ground coffee filled the air in th on a fresh but bright winter morning this winter (just past). This powerful and eye-catching espresso coffee machine was at the heart of the action, its vibrant red finish earning it pride of place behind the bar. Its rich coffee shots ensures meticulously brewed drinks and a regular clientela. Fancy a virtual coffee? Please fave if you do. :-)

"It's thought that American skullcap positively impacts mood and reduces anxiety by stimulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that helps calm nerves . Notably, this plant was used in traditional medicine practices as a sedative and treatment for conditions like insomnia and anxiety."

I assume that nicotine, caffeine and taurine are his morning trifecta. Personally I would be bouncing off the walls before needing a defibrillator!
Thank you all for your support for my photography. I hope that life is treating you well. Take care.
A cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) rests in the shade of the large cheetah habitat at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center near Glen Rose Texas.
Fossil Rim has played an important role in the conservation of cheetahs since 1986 when the first litter of babies was born. As of 2018, more than 195 cubs have been born in their Cheetah Breeding Program. Breeding success has been historically difficult in the captive population.
Fossil Rim has diligently worked to provide a comfortable, stimulating living environment, multiple mate choices (especially important for cheetah females), a varied diet, large enclosures and the least amount of stress possible. Fossil Rim has two cheetah areas that combined can house about 25 cats. This photo was taken on the edge of one of those enclosures.

I remember my short visit Bisti fondly, a place that stimulates imagination like few others! I hope to be back there some day, when the light is not as harsh and I am not in a rush, when time's shadow crawls across the desert like a somnabulant snake and I get to see the future before it becomes the past.
