Dunnock - Prunella Modularis
aka Hedge Sparrow
The dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a small passerine, or perching bird, found throughout temperate Europe and into Asia. Dunnocks have also been successfully introduced into New Zealand. It is by far the most widespread member of the accentor family, which otherwise consists of mountain species. Other common names of the dunnock include the hedge accentor, hedge sparrow, or hedge warbler.
Dunnocks are native to large areas of Eurasia, inhabiting much of Europe including Lebanon, northern Iran, and the Caucasus. They are the only commonly found accentor in lowland areas, all the others inhabit upland areas
Dunnocks were successfully introduced into New Zealand during the 19th century, and are now widely distributed around the country and some offshore islands. Favourite habitats include woodlands, shrubs, gardens, and hedgerows where they typically feed on the ground often seeking out detritivores as food.
The dunnock possesses variable mating systems. Females are often polyandrous, breeding with two or more males at once, which is quite rare among birds. This multiple mating system leads to the development of sperm competition amongst the male suitors. DNA fingerprinting has shown that chicks within a brood often have different fathers, depending on the success of the males at monopolising the female.Males try to ensure their paternity by pecking at the cloaca of the female to stimulate ejection of rival males' sperm. Dunnocks take just one-tenth of a second to copulate and can mate more than 100 times a day. Males provide parental care in proportion to their mating success, so two males and a female can commonly be seen provisioning nestlings at one nest.

Plants seem to have been sowed profusely on Earth,
like the stars in the sky,
to invite man through the stimulation of pleasure and curiosity,
to the study of nature.

Take care of me
Talk all day then at night fall in deep
Stimulate me
I want you mental and physically
I belong to you

She's daffodils and morphine,
stimulating the heart to pulse precarious!
She's the tender cannonade of
lovesick napalm,
She's the trapeze wire

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 distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep,and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between."

Dunbar (Northern Mockingbird) has gotten pretty used to me now. So much in fact that he ignores me even when I have the camera.
In this image he is perched on a Crepe Myrtle tree branch, patiently waiting for the other birds to arrive so he can play his part (bully) in the bird show.
It appears that Dunbar has decided that the little swing feeder and the main feeder are his and no one else is allowed to partake in the treats that belong to him. And for now, it appears that he has given up on trying to control the other four feeding stations.
All of the beauty berries are gone as well as the Simpson stopper berries. So, Dunbar doesn't have to worry about guarding those either. The berries really went fast this year. In the past berries lasted beyond February when I cut the bushes back in order to stimulate new growth. When I did cutbacks, I would leave the branches that had berries on them beside the bush so the birds could pick through them. There will be no need for that this year.
Have a splendid day, happy snapping.

Smile on Saturday!:-)
My heart belongs in nature, especially when it involves forests, mountains, and bodies of water. A lot of modern life makes me anxious & overwhelmed, particularly when there’s a lot of stimulation- noise, people, movement, bright lights. The natural world rarely makes me feel this way. A simple, quiet life filled with nature is what gives me peace.
Summer in Brazil, particularly in Rio, is a very difficult for taking photos. The heat is terrible and it rains a lot.
So, I have no other alternative beside upload photos from my archives.
I hope do not bother you, my friends, with some images of flowers you already knew from uploads I did before.
Scientific name: Congea tomentosa
Popular names: Congea

Congeia is a branching, woody vine known the world over for its decorative flowering. Its leaves are elliptic-oval, opposite, tomentose (hairy), evergreen, light green in color and with well-marked veins. At the end of winter and beginning of spring the congea blooms, displaying numerous white flowers, small and inconspicuous, but each surrounded by three bracts in the form of a helix, very showy and durable, which gradually change color, from pink to purple and then to gray over several weeks. Flowering is so dense and abundant that you can barely see the foliage.
Congeia is a very vigorous and lush vine with a delicate texture. It fits into different styles of gardens, and can cover fences, railings, arbors, pergolas and porticoes. It can also be used as a bush and hedge. Pruning, carried out after flowering, helps in the formation and containment of the plant and stimulates its consolidation. The flowering branches of congeia can also be used as cut flowers in bouquets and floral arrangements.
Regno Unito, Londra, Canary Wharf, Estate 2023
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.
Canary Wharf is a major business district located in the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs in the Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London.

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.
Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.

To all the other dreamers out there, don't ever stop or let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and the right people, anything is possible.

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!
Please be sure to view large if you have the time because it is truly better in large:

Bart is feeling stimulated and has jumped up to the window nook to keep an eye on the kitchen. I soon will get his wand toy, to help him focus his energy.
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.
She asked me
Can you please make me a yellow flower
And so I did
This is for you
This color is associated with the solar plexus chakra
So breathe it all in
Let the color heal your chakra
This chakra is primarily associated with self-esteem, confidence and willpower, it is where our sense of self originates.
Have you ever wondered why you fancy special colors over other colors? Well maybe it is because you need that particular color to stimulate a special chakra.
Super fascinating, isn't it :D
A balanced solar plexus chakra allows you to have control over your thoughts and emotional responses, set healthy boundaries, and be at peace with yourself. Its physical association is with digestive function.
If you have a balanced solar plexus chakra you will be assertive without being aggressive. It allows you to know yourself, judging yourself and others fairly but not critically.
So if you feel you need a little boost why not print this little flower and carry it with you and breathe in the color.
A special hug to you today from Dr. Eva

Everybody calls me the quiet one
But you just don't understand
You can't listen you won't hear me
With your head stuck in the sand
I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme
My head is in a cloud
I ain't quiet - everybody else is too loud
Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away.
a gum stimulator to be exact.

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.

Quick shot with my phone whilst making coffee during a break from my work desk at home. A rare shaft of sunlight - I couldn’t resist doing something with it.
A pretty view on the morning from the window seat of The Penny café. Not only do they make a good cappuccino, they have a stimulating corporate philosophy:
"(we) Believe that the collective of individual efforts, like pennies, add up to a big impact."
I'll drink to that. :-)
