Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images it's very much appreciated.
Lots of bunny tracks around here this morning. They seem to know when there is no dog around. I'm always amazed by the abundance of wildlife outside my door. Too bad it wasn't wearing a white winter coat but it still cheered me up, nonetheless. I had a bad morning getting stuck in a swamp with my skidoo, the new snow and ice disguised the water underneath. I swear I have a permanent black cloud over my head.
It was as if this bunny was saying "Listen Up, don't think you are eating me for Easter" It sure got fat off all the oats my horses left behind this winter. I do eat bunnies this time of year but it is the white chocolate ones ;-)
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

I have lots of fond memories of camping as a child and as an adult..there is nothing like being out in Mother Nature...The smell of the pine trees, campfires, wild life... Heart Garden Centre has a wonderful pine tree set. The Wild Sitka Pines. They are textured beautifully!! Also plenty of groundcover and flowers to make your forest floor come alive!

Wild turkeys are powerful fliers, especially for short distances. Speeds of up to 55 mph have been observed. To conserve energy, wild turkeys primarily walk. They spend most of their time on the ground, where they search for acorns, seeds, fruits, insects, leaves, and small vertebrates. They can easily cover several hundred acres in a day.
Wild turkeys are social animals and typically flock together in groups numbering just a few birds to as many as 20 or more. They are extremely wary and will run away or fly to a tree to escape danger. For safety from ground predators, wild turkeys roost at night in trees within thicker forest stands.
Florida is home to two subspecies of wild turkey — the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) and the Osceola or Florida wild turkey. The Florida wild turkey is best distinguished from the eastern subspecies, which it closely resembles, by the white barring on its wing feathers. On Florida wild turkeys, the white bars on the primary wing feathers are narrower than the black bars and are irregular or broken, which tends to give the wing an overall darker appearance compared to eastern wild turkeys.
The Florida wild turkey is found only in peninsular Florida. North of the peninsula and across the Florida panhandle, it interbreeds with the eastern subspecies.
The wild turkey is a woodlands bird and prefers open forests and forest edges and openings. They are considered a generalist species meaning they do not require specialized food or a particular vegetation community to survive. Consequently, they occur throughout Florida in any suitable habitat.
I found these two in a large group of about 20 just off of Peavine Road In Osceola County, Florida.
Karlovka Obora or Charles Park is a little off the normal tourist track but well worth a visit. Miles of pathways to follow,streams,bridges, swimming in the lake even a raft to pull yourself across to a small island. Standard joke for the children when we where there seemed to be get to the island, then refuse to come back. Always seemed to be a reluctant parent having to cross & gather up the children. The ice cream seller always stops at the raft, which seems to empty the island,a great sales technique. Over the last few years Prague counsels have declared that a percentage of all parks have to be plant for wildlife, hence you now see large areas turned over to wildflower meadows which is fantastic & visually much better than just green grass. The area where this shot was taken was about the size of half a football pitch
These roses are a climbing variety, and they utilize other trees and shrubs for their support. A few of these roses are in single bushes, but most are seen cascading down from the branches of other vegetation...
On a tree we planted about 10 years ago. The small fruit it produces helps feed the local wildlife.
Many thanks for looking, favorites, and comments!
I awoke from my van in the company of sheep, their herders, dogs and horse, and, to my delight, lots of wild horses. Wild horses are feral, but to me, truly wild. They live on their own, have a distinct social order and a wildness about them that is quite attractive. Stallions gather mares and fight for dominance to keep their "family" together. Within a herd the alpha must maintain his position. As a result, stallion interactions such as the one pictured here are not uncommon. When different groups come together or when bachelors in a herd are establishing their rank there is going to be some action. To see a stallion gallop out to challenge a rival, or one chasing another and to see the ground they can cover hair flying,
dust rising and aggression imminent, is a thrill.
