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.

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

Bathing suit: Rosary
Late night conversations, electric emotions
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex, and it's a potion
Late night, bodies achin', mental stimulation
Sprinkled with a little bit of sex appeal, and it's a moment
Direct electrical stimulation of any limbic sector may evoke vivid formed dream- or memory-like hallucinations.
Here begins your Yoga Nidra "Vanilla Sky" experience.
Breaking news from Hogwarts: A squadron of a new generation of Ukrainian war swans on training is spotted in stormy waters of river Avon at an undisclosed location next to Victoria Bridge in Bath. These stealth birds are being equipped with a new charm 'Riddikulus lies' developed at Hogwarts using recently discovered spells from the famous Potion book by the late Professor Snape. This powerful self-guided charm can lift dark spells which the warlock “He Who Must Be Named” and his Boggarts are casting on minds of muggles. The charm works on the grey matter of the muggle’s brain affected by dark spells and stimulates independent thinking to reveal how ridiculous warlock’s views and claims are.
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...

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.
The sun, between earth and sky, a dispenser of Life and stimulator of movement, creates a vertical force, attracts the living towards the sky... to grow and grow more...

As someone who grew up by the sea (Blackpool) I have to confess that I have a real soft spot for seascape photography. There's something about photographing the ocean, the water, the beach complete with all the sounds and smells of life that triggers all of my senses. It fills me with a sense of belonging.
There is something magical about standing on a beach watching a living, breathing entity existing right in front of you. I often close my eyes and from a safe distance, listen to the waves crashing in front of me. The power of the ocean I rarely take for granted for obvious reasons and yet I love feeling part of it. It can be stimulating and calming at different locations and even at different times depending on how I feel.
Here is an image that I captured back in February during my week long trip to the truly stunning Lofoten in Norway. Haukland Beach, along with its neighbour Uttakleiv Beach, became my favourite beaches in Lofoten and I am sure you can see why. The colour of the water, the huge dramatic skies and the waves crashing onto the beach made for a very special visit indeed.
I cannot wait to return and while my November 2019 workshop is now full, I will be creating another one for the winter of early 2020 shortly. If you would like to put your name down on my waiting list, please contact me.
Have a wonderful evening everyone.

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:

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.
Orobanche (broomrape) is a genus of over 200 species of parasitic plants in the family Orobanchaceae, mostly native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. It is best recognized by its yellow- to straw-coloured stems bearing snapdragon-like flowers. The leaves are merely triangular scales. Broomrapes have no chlorophyll and are totally dependent on other plants for nutrients. Broomrape seeds remain dormant in the soil, often for many years, until stimulated to germinate by certain compounds produced by living plant roots. Orobanche gracilis subsp. deludens occurs in the southern Iberian peninsula and in Marocco. I saw it in Andalusia/Spain.

Portrait of Archie as he grows into a handsome young chap. His 'biting' has calmed a little in recent weeks but he needs so much stimulation that I think it might be necessary to get a little furry friend for him. Enjoy large by pressing 'L' or clicking on the image!
“The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulate the creative mind.” – Albert Einstein
“Blessed are those who do not fear solitude, who are not afraid of their own company, who are not always desperately looking for something to do, something to amuse them with, and something to judge.” – Paulo Coelho
✈️ : Elvion
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.

Fofurasfelinas Kitty Tips
Tip 25
[...] Sometimes offering food in a different location can make a difference in a cats desire or willingness to eat. This is especially true in cats that have been ill and are regaining their appetite. Cats are funny and can have a "memory" of being sick with a particular food or in a particular location. Sometimes the location can be a different room as well as a different location on the floor or counter.
Another thing that will stimulate some cats to eat is a different bowl. This sounds too simple but some cats will really have a preference as to the style and substrate of a bowl. Some cats prefer a very shallow bowl or dish so their whiskers are not stimulated while they are eating. One thing you can do is take your cats current food and offer it in his regular feeding bowl, a deeper bowl, a more shallow bowl or a flat plate. See which one he goes to.
Some cats really like for you to offer different foods. If you are feeding dry, sometimes offering a different dry or canned can stimulate some cats to eat. If you are feeding canned - offering a different canned or pouched food can help your cat to eat.
