Lychinis flos-cuculi. Better known as Ragged-robin is part of the Caryophyllaceae or Pink Family. A delicate looking perennial which favours damp meadows, fens and Marshes.
This ragged looking orange and gray bird is a juvenile male Eastern Cardinal. They look a little rough when they are molting and getting their new red feathers.
.... might be the names of those pelicans? :-D
Location: Black Bayou Lake
Happy find -- going thru old stuff found an old favorite that never got to share.....
Big Sur sunset ............
I found these very rare and beautiful wild flowers growing in a bog meadow here locally. I wasnt completely certain what they were at first but I had a good idea. I logged their position and counted them and reported them to the Gov Dept of Biodiversity here who were delighted with my find. They will monitor them and inform the person on whose land they are growing as they are a protected species I think they are one of the nicest things I have found. Arnt the simplest things of the World the best! Maybe we all need a lesson with whats happening. They have now all faded from bloom but I will get to them again next year. We all will, so watch out!. Keep positive, do as yer told mostly and hang on in there!
Big hugs to all my great friends on Flickr!
You are Rockin` Awesome!!!!!

This very rare wild flower is called "Ragged Robin" [Silene flos-cuculi] It only grows in boggy meadows which are scarce now and I was so lucky to find upwards of 200 of them in the corner of an undisturbed wet rough field locally. I took lots of photographs and logged their position which I have reported to the Gov dept of biodiversity to be recorded. Great that people really care so much. I bet there been experts crawling all over the place lately. Arnt some of "our human species" really great and quite rare too!
Im no expert on flowers but I have an interest in nature and I knew what they were as Id seen them in a book somewhere. That makes me smile as I used to ask my Dad how he knew about so many wild things and he`d always say that he`d seen it in a book somewhere! Ive turned into him probably though in 1964, back in my rebel years, he would have been the last person I wanted to have been like! Funny that, but nice really!
I was delighted to find these and they are one of nicest things I have seen.I think they are really beautiful
Im going to look after them as much as I can and I want all of you to look after one another too! Its people who make the World more beautiful!
We might all be a bit raggedy around the edges at the moment but we are all surviving thankfully and doing well just like the lovely Ragged Robins.
I do hope this makes you smile as it does me every time I look at them! x
You mind yourselves out there and behave yerselfs just a little bit anyway!
Hugs.
Pat.

Little seed pods from some Nigella, actually took this last autumn but only just found it again. Ragged Lady is just one it's names, seems quite appropriate for this stage but not so much when they're flowering and looking so lovely.

I admit to having some anxiety about the US elections. There’s a lot at stake, and many people have lost confidence in the process.
herbaceous perennial plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is species is native to Europe, where it is found along roads and in wet meadows and pastures.
Strong glare from the setting sun almost made this photo impossible at Ragged Point on the southern end of Big Sur, but it ended up adding punch to the picture.
My best shot of Ragged Falls isn’t from the spill way or even at the base looking back at the flow but of the head waters feeding the falls and I am surprised I even got this one in the bag with as many issues I had for this high noon shoot. This trip is my first since things went pear shaped early on in 2020 and really the only time I have taken my new D850 in the field so I guess knocking the rust off my shooting skills is to be expected.
Ragged Falls has been named one of the top ten in Ontario to visit but that may be a little overstated top 25 might be more accurate or maybe they meant top 10 most easily accessible either way if you are in the area it is highly worth the stop and short 1km groomed hike. The spillway here is a great example of what the constant erosion of glacier meltwaters carving and pushing can do, the entrance to the falls is a dirt road clearly marked off highway 60 before the west gate of Algonquin Park and ends in a parking lot with washrooms.
I took this on Sept 18, 2021 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm 1/30s f`11 ISO 64 processed in LR, PS +Topaz ,and DXO

Ragged-Robin Wildflower (Silene flos-cuculi)
This flower's name comes from the "ragged" or tattered appearance of its petals.
Bantry Bay, Ireland
These were in the garden of Uppark House NT property. Obviously coming to an end but with their own beauty. Notice the Meadow Brown butterfly bottom left on the only daisy not yet going to seed.
