Callistemon is a genus of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1814. The entire genus is endemic to Australia but widely cultivated in many other regions and naturalised in scattered locations. Callistemon species have commonly been referred to as bottlebrushes because of their cylindrical, brush like flowers resembling a traditional bottle brush. They are mostly found in the more temperate regions of Australia, especially along the east coast and typically favour moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering. Flowering is normally in spring and early summer (October–December), but conditions may cause flowering at other times of the year. The obvious parts of the flower masses are stamens, with the pollen at the tip of the filament; the petals are inconspicuous. Flower heads vary in colour with species; most are red, but some are yellow, green, orange or white. Each flower head produces a profusion of triple-celled seed capsules around a stem which remain on the plant with the seeds enclosed until stimulated to open when the plant dies or fire causes the release of the seeds.

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

The Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the finest classical-style Chinese gardens outside of China. Filled with Chinese plants and framed by exquisite architecture, the landscape is enriched with references to literature and art. Visitors can find both physical relaxation and mental stimulation when exploring the dramatic 15-acre garden.
I want to chase after something,
keeping secret in my heart my fury
You are the No. 1
I believe that
In your arms embracing me,
I want to see a real dream
Keep me durnin' away
as I want
These paling eyes
stare at the distance
It's not possible for me to go back anymore
Rather than an angel, rather than a devil
I want a stimulating love
Rather than yesterday, rather than tomorrow
I want a present that makes sparks fly
Back to the fire
I've thrown off my dress of lies
now I'll throw away my cheating self
I want to love selfishly
Held in a night of velvet,
those eyes of yours fret
They're searching for the truth
Rather than pick-up lines,
convey your love now
with meek words
The face of an angel, the face of a demon
I live repeating
those faces over and over
Rather than kindness,
rather than fury
I'll go as I feel
I don't wanna get down
Even at my limit, even at my limit
I won't give up, woo oh oh
Rather than an angel, rather than a devil
I want a stimulating love
Rather than yesterday, rather than tomorrow
I want a present that makes sparks fly
The face of an angel, the face of a demon
I live repeating
those faces over and over
Rather than kindness,
rather than fury
I'll go as I feel
I'm fine with that
Back to the fire...

November Mid-Afternoon Sunset, Hamnoy, Lofoten, Norway
I am often asked why do I return to the same places time after time after time and whether I ever get bored of it. Well, I don't mind admitting that I am stimulated and heavily motivated in discovering new places, that much is perhaps obvious for those of you who follow my social media posts however, every now and then, the most amazing conditions descend on a familiar scene that I can only really stand and watch in awe as I click my shutter release cable.
This scene here of the hamlet at Hamnoy on the amazing archipelago that is Lofoten, was bathed in the last throes of the most golden light early November last month and the time was only 2.08pm. Sure, the days are a little shorter in November and the end of January when I shall next visit but the light is absolutely magical. It really is and this is why I love what I do. All the travelling on planes, waiting at airports, passing the time and driving endless hours sometimes, not to mention the early mornings and late nights, THIS is why I do it and do it wholeheartedly.
There are times when my gratitude for being able to do what I love for a living spills over and hopefully for those who join me on workshops, feel that energy that I get from what I do. It really is the best job/lifestyle in the world.
I hope you all enjoy the image

I just love these Old Neo-Gothic Architecture Buildings, for their character and style, which you don't get in the Moden Buildings of today!
Some info' of this Gallery, which is Grade II listed neo-gothic type building, which is located in Brindleyplace, Birmingham. And it is housed in the former Oozells Street Board School, designed by John Henry Chamberlain in 1877. - And the gallery's current director is Jonathan Watkins.
Which today it's become known as an English gallery of contemporary art, and features temporary exhibitions over two floors totalling 450 square metres. A variety of media are represented, including sound, film, mixed media, photography, painting, sculpture and installation.
And,
Education is at the heart of the Ikon's activities, stimulating public interest in and understanding of contemporary visual art.
This is a cool place, where one can visit and catch up on what's New in Art forms these days!
Which at the moment, is still in lockdown, and I will be looking forward to seeing this reopening-up again!
This is another capture, which I was very pleased to be able to get this into full-frame, during the lockdown and decided with this capture, I would do it in monochrome, in which I feel it shows the pure beauty in details of this Neo-gothic architecture type building to its full glory here!
Many thanks for your compliments, and stay safe, my flickr friends !!!
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.
about Orang-Utans:
The Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is a species of orangutan native to the island of Borneo. Together with the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) and Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis), it belongs to the only genus of great apes native to Asia. Like the other great apes, orangutans are highly intelligent, displaying tool use and distinct cultural patterns in the wild. Orangutans share approximately 97% of their DNA with humans.
The Bornean orangutan is a critically endangered species, with deforestation, palm oil plantations, and hunting posing a serious threat to its continued existence.
The Bornean orangutan lives in tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forest in the Bornean lowlands, as well as mountainous areas up to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) above sea level. This species lives throughout the canopy of primary and secondary forest, and moves large distances to find trees bearing fruit. Orangutans are loners.
The Bornean orangutan is the second-largest ape after the gorilla, and the largest truly arboreal (or tree-dwelling) animal alive today. By comparison, the Sumatran orangutan is similar in size but, on average, is marginally lighter in weight.
about Apenheul:
Apenheul is a beautiful, green zoo. At the park, you can get acquainted with about 35 different species of primate (almost 300 individual animals in total), about half of which roam freely among the visitors. The primates live in large, natural habitats which stimulate their natural behaviour and it means that you get to see the primates at their very best.
Thank you for another year of stimulating critics, friendship and support!
All the best to you and your beloved!
May 2021 become a better year!

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Overblaak, Kubuswoningen, Blaakse Bos (slightly cut)
The `Kubuswoningen` (Cube houses) aka the `Blaakse Bos` (Blaak forrest) have the phycical appearance of a set of cubes, flipped to one of their vertexes and placed on variable height pillars. It was designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999) who followed his structuralist agenda here, trying to create an integrated urban living space (`Living in an urban roof`' it was called) that both stimulates/facilitates the communal spirit of the dwellers of this urban forest and create a strong rhythmic architectural pattern in the process. In `A structuralist's embrace` here there’s more about Dutch structuralism.
The 7Artisans fisheye was utilized again here. The lens‘ album is here.
For an architecture shot like this, minimalist music is called for, but in this case let’s settle for the basic drumwork of the Cure’s Lol Tolhurst in A forest.
The morning light at Pennzoil Place is a gift to photographers. The light plays with the shapes and angles to create beautiful and ever-changing vignettes to stimulate your imagination.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Why not Buy Me a Coffee
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.
Tena Desae
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.
Adam Greene
It's important to surround yourself with good people, interesting people, young people, young ideas. Go places, learn new stuff. Look at the world with wonder - don't be tired about it.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
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:

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.

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.

(Agalychnis callidryas) Many scientists believe the red-eyed tree frog developed its vivid scarlet peepers to shock predators into at least briefly questioning their meal choice.
These iconic rain-forest amphibians sleep by day stuck to leaf-bottoms with their eyes closed and body markings covered. When disturbed, they flash their bulging red eyes and reveal their huge, webbed orange feet and bright blue-and-yellow flanks. This technique, called startle coloration, may give a bird or snake pause, offering a precious instant for the frog to spring to safety.
Their neon-green bodies may play a similar role in thwarting predators. Many of the animals that eat red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal hunters that use keen eyesight to find prey. The shocking colors of this frog may over-stimulate a predator's eyes, creating a confusing ghost image that remains behind as the frog jumps away.
Red-eyed tree frogs, despite their conspicuous coloration, are not venomous. They are found in tropical lowlands from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and in northern South America. Nocturnal carnivores, they hide in the rain forest canopy and ambush crickets, flies, and moths with their long, sticky tongues.
Red-eyed tree frogs are not endangered. But their habitat is shrinking at an alarming rate, and their highly recognizable image is often used to promote the cause of saving the world's rain forests.

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.
--- 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. :-)

#Remedy
Width: 4,5 cm / 1,7 inches
Remedy through pain? Seems to be adorned with lotus flowers, but is as spiky as a bed of nails: an acupressure mat. Modern day acupressure mats (sounds way nicer than bed of nails, doesn't it?) are armed with numerous hard plastic discs looking like blossoms with protruding spikes at the tip of each "petal" (euphemistically called "massage stimulators"). They are supposed to relieve pain and aches, and help a person relax. Which I can neither deny nor confirm. I haven't tried my back at the mat myself, only borrowed it for the photo. Processed in Luminar (tweaked the "Atomic Colours" preset) and enhanced details and saturation (partly) in ON1.
A Happy Macro Monday, everyone, have a relaxing week ahead!
Was wie Lotusblüten aussieht, sind Scheiben aus Hartplastik mit stacheligen "Blüten"-Spitzen. Es handelt sich um die moderne Version der Nagelmatte: eine Akupressur-Matte (klingt auch gleich viel freundlicher, oder?). Die stacheligen Blüten werden beschönigend auch "Massage-Simulatoren" genannt. Ob die kleinen Folter-Blüten die versprochene Schmerzlinderung und Entspannung tatsächlich bringen, kann ich nicht sagen, ich habe mir die Matte, so gut es ging, von Weitem angeschaut und sie mir lediglich für's Foto ausgeliehen. In Luminar enwickelt, Ausgangspunkt: das "Atomic Colours" Preset. In ON1 habe ich noch partiell Details verbessert und Sättigung / Dynamikumfang erhöht.
Ich wünsche Euch einen entspannten Wochenstart :-)
