" And I shall have some peace there, For peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veil of morn, To where the cricket sings,

Where midnights all a glimmer, And noon a purple glow,

And evenings filled with linnets wings "

{William Butler Yeats}

This stream comes from a spring that cascades out from under a boulder high up on the ridge in the distance. It plays it own special music as it tumbles down the mountain where it joins many other such streams, eventually forming the great Vartry river which enters the port of Wicklow 20 miles to the south east.

The lone Mountain Ash stands and watches its passing as it has done for so many years.

A wild and a beautiful place.

Here my picture of one of my favorite lakes deep into the wild nature of Switzerland's mountains which I visited 3 months ago.

Right now the whole field is filled with blooming Fritillaria in my natural area. A pink shimmer if you go there early in the morning.

I often desire this protected area, with all the wild flowers from the simplest ordinary to unusual as orchids.

Texture: my own.

There are 8 Polar bears at Yorkshire Wildlife park and boy do they love their lakes!! This is a youngster who lives with his mother and two siblings. It's a joy to spend time watching them. This never gets old!!

Sun suffocate the atmosphere

But I'm safe with you far away from you

Another fire through another open door

It's what I'm living for

Breath of mine be all that you need

It's not much from a broken nothing

Wear another truth on your turned-up sleeve

This is everything I dream

Uh uh yeah he-hell no

I am wild eyed and waiting

Uh uh yeah he-hell

I am wild eyed and wandering

Fortunately I have enough of you

You say it's not where we are

It's not what we choose

Looking out from all that you have built

With red skies I will drift

Uh uh yeah hell no

I am wild eyed and waiting

Uh uh yeah hell no

I am wild eyed and wandering

Uh uh what are your dreams?

Uh uh what are your dreams?

I've known this lady for three years now. Raccoons can live up to 20 years in captivity but in the wild it's usually 1.5 to 3.5 years. I am hoping to get a bit more time with her. She has already lost two of her four babies this summer. It's a tough life being wild.
