Stretches of wild flowers were next to the river at Alton Baker Park. I liked the insects coming to the flowers but I also liked the purple and yellow flowers.

Was a bit bored stuck at home so thought I'd make use of the macro lens for once. A short trip to the garden, so not so wild.
It is always so awesome to see this kind of beauty growing all on its own without any of the fussing that I put into my gardens.
Yesterday afternoon was beautiful, and the perfect day for a visit and a hike to Elk Island National Park. We did a short 2.4km hike along Simmons Lake trail and came across some beautiful flowers along the way.
Sixth in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is twenty-two inches (56cm) 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.

Back to Costa Rica, San Gerardo de Dota this time.
It is really incredible how fast those little hummingbirds fly. And I've got a trash bin full of proof that it really is extremely difficult to catch them in flight. So when this Green Violetear hovered just long enough for the focus to catch on I couldn't have been more happy.

Anecdotical experience. I'm new with this media and with this particular wc set, so I was looking for an adequate blue color to mix with Payne's Grey in order to get this blueish tint of the feathers. I was trying them all one by one, but Turkey Blue was the one I needed!
Some young bulls are checking out a cow that is beginning to release the smell of estrus. They are curious and fired up, but won't breed this season. When the cows become receptive, the mature bulls will chase away these youngsters. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
