Tried my hand at editing and creating a more vintage and oldish look, enjoy ♥
Baby you could steal my heart like Jesse James
Come in, guns blazin', just like ol' John Wayne
Well now's your chance to save the girl
Better take it 'fore it's gone
Yeah you better get your boots on
Love me like the wild, wild, wild west
Ride me off in the sunset
Outlaws makin a run for it
Well come on boy, be my cowboy
Keep me by your side all night
And hold me tight like a pearl handle .45
And just let me be the whiskey on your breath
And love me like the wild, wild, wild west
Wanna feel like we jumped a train to Santa Fe (desperados makin our getaway)
Like we're desperados makin' our getaway (like we jumped a train to Santa Fe)
I wanna hide away on some prairie
Underneath a blanket of stars
And just get lost in your arms
Love me like the wild, wild, wild west
Love me like the wild, wild, wild west
Baby you could steal my heart like Jesse James
We'll go out, guns blazin', just like ol' John Wayne
Another portrait from my first proper encounter with a wild otter last week. I watched it for some time, hunting and eating, seemingly playing and exploring, and occasionally peeking out at me curiously. I always prefer pictures with eye contact because of the energy created from the look. Lighting was a bit tricky that day due to strong contrast, but I liked it in this setting.
Zoom in for detail
These two were loyally following their leader as he ran back and forth along the river bluff calling to a group of four wild dogs on a river island.
The apple on the white line came from a tree near this one. There are actually a bunch of different types of apple trees growing along the trail. I still find the wild apple trees of New Brunswick to be a curiosity.
Wild patterns on the deep
Waking the water from its sleep
Washing everything, as it wildly does go
Whichever way nature allows it to flow
Twelfth in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is thirty-two inches (81cm) in height and perhaps 650 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.

Little did I know when I first set eyes on this wildflower that it would take over a decade to identify it. When I took the photo, I thought, "This will be easy. There are fewer flowers, especially blue or violet with four petals." Wrong! There are fewer, but it turns out there are 400,000 flowering species and "only" 230,000 have been described. I found this flower at the based of a trail on Mt. Diablo leading to Castle Rock Park.
Today, in one final gasp, I spent more than two hours going through my four books on wildflowers of the west (and Sierras and Central California), and came up with ... oh, what's that scientific term... ah, ZILCH! Nada, Nil. My life may be frustrating, but it's rarely dull.
I bit the bullet. I don't like to impose on a good acquaintance (less than a friend, but through an interest in nature, we have corresponded often), John Muir Laws by name. Jack holds the Nature Stewardship through Science, Education, and Art at the SF Academy of Sciences. More important, he's a naturalist, has written several books on wildlife of the Sierras etc., and teaches the art of painting wildlife. And so, as I do about once a year, I emailed him. Having explained that the closest I could come for this flower, was the Clarkia Elegance (see below) which is endemic to my mountain. His response: "I totally understand the confusion. It looks a lot like a Clarkia. Check out the purple version of Wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum)."
And so Flickrites, this is the Wild Radish of the Mustard family!

This wild turkey has much to be thankful for. The flocks of wild turkeys on Maine's Mount Desert Island are allowed to roam freely, and are safe from being hunted. Because Mount Desert Island is the home of Acadia National Park, hunting of any kind is prohibited anywhere on the island. So this and all of the other wild turkeys on MDI are guaranteed not to become Thanksgiving dinner. Bar Harbor, Maine.

Happy Thanksgiving !
Wild Ireland is a unique wild animal sanctuary located on the Inishowen peninsula.
Located in an ancient Celtic rainforest, Wild Ireland offers sanctuary too many animals which have been exploited and abused in circuses, roadside zoos, illegal pet trade and laboratories.
Wild Ireland offers sanctuary too many animals which have been persecuted and hunted into extinction on this Island such as Brown Bears, Wolves, Lynx and Wild Boar.
Step back in time into an ancient woodland, inhabited by these extinct creatures, that have returned to their ancestral home.
Wild Ireland has recreated the natural habitats of these animals so they can now live, much as they would do, in the wild.
‘Wild Ireland’ is located on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Visitors to Wild Ireland are educated about the plight of animals in the wild and the abuse many of them suffer at the hands of man. Wild Ireland hopes to inspire a new generation of conservationists to ensure the preservation of our wildlife & forests into the future.
