The Byrds did a pretty good version too.
The Barrows at Thorswood are a powerful place to sit and reflect. Although some barrows have been completely destroyed by later quarrying a few are still intact. Sitting amongst the spring or summer flowers, you can feel yourself being dragged back through time. Can you imagine no motor traffic noise, no jet trails in the sky, no lights to blank out the stars. It must have been so quiet and dark.

We had fun taking these photos, haha! X3
Some feral horses of the two herds hosted on Pian Cavallaro.
Mount Cimone (2.165 m), Northern Italian Apennines - Modena, Emilia Romagna, Italy.
On my way to the top of mount Cimone, I stopped at Pian Cavallaro.
Mount Cimone is the highest peak of the Northern Italian Apennines (2.165 m): in some clear days, like this was, you can see the Alps (the harsh blue mountains), Central Italy and even Corsica and the Mediterranean sea. On the top, the use of the binoculars is fundamental.
Pian Cavallaro is above the tree line, the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing: at this altitude, trees don't grow because of the Alpine climate and the inhospitable environment.
In this adverse climate, there's the Alpine tundra.

Eighth in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is thirty-six inches (91cm) in height and perhaps 300 years old.
'Wild Bonsai' is a numbered collection of photos of naturally occurring bristlecones (p. longaeva) generally less than five feet in height (158cm) and - as nearly as I can estimate - between fifty and five-hundred years old - some much older. Most will have sprouted and survived in tiny cracks and crevases or miniature basins of sand and gravel. Shaped by the elements, flourishing tenaciously in the most minimalist of conditions, their lives are measured not in the millennia of more robust bristlecones, but in centuries...often mere decades.
'Duality', the cover photo for this album, is to me a matriarch of sorts and will remain unnumbered as a small token of a deeply intuitive and unapologetic respect that remains as transcendent and mysterious to me as it may seem odd to others. The essay that accompanies 'Duality' could, in many ways, apply as well to any other tree I may post in this series.
A perspective: Housed in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, the fifth oldest living cultivated bonsai in the world is something over 500 years old and is a designated National Treasure of Japan.
There were 7 of these beautiful owls visiting here in the wild.To see some more nice shots of them check out my album short eared owls.Shots of them in flight as well.
I have to drive home on the back roads lately because the main road is under construction. You see some cool stuff driving on those dirt roads - this fellow flew right over my windshield and landed by the side of the road, and just started walking.
Just outside of the city of Tulsa is an area that has been set up for wild horses. Thousands of abandoned horses have been sent throughout the state of Oklahoma as a refuge for horses that don't have a home. The state has eight different locations of BLM land that has been set aside for these creatures to safely live out the rest of their lives. I think this is a pretty good program and I loved getting a chance to capture these majestic animals.
While photographing a waterfall on the Grand River in Elora, Ontario, I noticed this Wild Teasel. The sun gleamed down on it causing it to glow.
Through the branches of vivid green
A wild path, now is seen
Stretching as far as the eye can see
Kissed by the beauty of every tree
Off into the distance, where you will find
Nature of every single different kind
At the end of the path, that now is seen
Through the branches of wild green
Caught a rafter/gobble/flock of Wild Turkeys in New Mexico at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge including this one crossing out of their roost to a field of corn. Meleagris gallopavo
My first photo here was just recently taken in the region of Costa Brava (wild coast) in the north of Catalonia/Spain.
Close up of a wild boar in winterly settings, haven't seen them for a long time now as there was a lot of hunting but i hope for the spring and lots of offspring...

The wild parrots flying free in Southern California today are descendants of wild-caught parrots that were imported into the United States before importation was banned and somehow either escaped or were released intentionally. These birds were already well versed in their survival skills and able to establish themselves in areas where exotic plant life is plentiful.
Rumor has it that of firefighters responding to a call in a pet shop and rather than see the birds perish, the firefighters set them free. Though Urband Legends have circulated for more than 30 years, there are some that believe the wild parrots may have come here on their own through normal exploration. Others believe they are all escaped pets.
