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.
Eleventh in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is fifty-four inches (137cm) in height and perhaps 400 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.
The Wild Pacific Trail through Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island is stunning every which way you turn.

Sandwood Bay up in the very north west corner of Scotland. Cape Wrath is the last headland in the distance.
Not the Bourbon. All the years I've been to Tifft, I have never come across a turkey there before. Wondering if new resident there since this year or just got lucky to see one. I have seen many more wild turkeys this year than in years past around here. Real close to my house have seen a family of about 15 every morning on way to work.
The Wild Roses by Daniel Arrhakis (2014)
The red fruit of the wild rose bush (Rosa canina) , called hips or haws, may be eaten as a quick snack or you may make syrup with sugar (is rich in Vitamin C ) . This one was take near Açude Do Gameiro (a dam) in Raia River, near Cabeção, Móra (Portugal) where i live !
The amazing view of Jökulsárlón, Iceland.
Jökulsárlón is the best known, the largest and the most spectacular of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. The lake is filled with floating icebergs, which are calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, a giant tongue of the immense Vatnajökull glacier.
Here the glacial lagoon and Vatnajökull from above:

Trial Harbour on Tasmania's west coast. Wild old day with plenty of weather coming off the Southern Ocean.
Trial Harbour is at the northern end of Ocean Beach - as seen in my previous posting. Nothing between here and the coast of Argentina...
Makes the thermos of tea all the more rewarding :-)

The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is native to North America and is the heaviest member of the diverse Galliformes. It is the same species as the domestic turkey, which was originally derived from a southern Mexican subspecies of wild turkey (not the related ocellated turkey). Although native to North America, the turkey probably got its name from the domesticated variety being imported to Britain in ships coming from the Levant via Spain. The British at the time therefore associated the wild turkey with the country Turkey and the name prevails.
The sloping cliffs are covered in places by hawthorn and blackthorn. Wild flowers include two yellow-flowered umbellifers, Alexanders, an early flowering plant introduced by the romans and the aromatic fennel flowering from mid-summer.
Sea beet, sea purslane, sea sandwort and sea rocket grow along the foreshore, together with the unusual sea holly.
Silver ragwort a plant of Mediterranean origin is also now well established along this coast.
Inspired by Game of Thrones wildings and Lord of the Rings Dunlandings.
I'm taking a short break from superhero themed stuff and focusing more on castle, because the Middle Earth Olympics is going on and I hope to enter. I'll still be posting, but expect more castle themed builds and figs.

My husband and I found these growing wild all along the banks of the lake and on the islands out in the middle of Lake Keowee in Upstate South Carolina.
How did I do it? I have a silver snowflake plate that my sister gave me for Christmas. I put the plate on a plate stand on our center kitchen island. I laid the flower on our granite counter top and turned on the overhead light and voila! This is handheld and natural light. The only thing I did was add my signature in Picnik.
Please take a look at my friend, Tracey's pink wild azalea. So beautiful!!!!!
