Here in the Pacific Northwest there's been some wild weather the last couple days. Probably not as wild as riding a bronco for 8 seconds.

This shot was from Blue Moon Rodeo in Columbia Falls, Montana.

Prefecture of Larissa

In the wild, now is seen

A beautiful pussy in the green

Waiting for a touch, that slowly lingers

Fur is stroked by invading fingers

Excited purrs vibrate on the breeze

Sweet pussy stroked under the trees

Fur so soft upon the skin

That slides over, deep within

The wildness, as eyes they stare

When fingers caress and a pussy does purr

Wild turkeys have subtly iridescent feathers, which look brown unless the light catches them just right. But this picture was taken from just the right angle, just about half an hour before sunset, when the sun was nearly level with my eyes.

Filoli Estate, San Mateo, Ca. Feb. 2023.

Does anyone else have rose bushes that grow wild along the roads? We sure do over here! Sorry I haven't been around....have not been doing well. Hope you all are doing well.....have a nice weekend of the 4th!! It scares poor Penny terribly...can't wait til it's over!!!!

Colourful wild flowers at the Solway on a windy morning this week

Wild grass growing by the side of a very busy road.

After I downloaded this image, I was sorry I didn't do a closeup of just the droopy little one on the left...

We saw this little guy at the side of a road went out to try get close but disappeared in the undergrowth :(

Wild flowers along the wall!

Wild Mustangs in the Eastern Sierra. Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' ........Rawhide! Getting some relief from those pesty flies and other critters.

The theme for “52 Weeks of 2015” this week was “Seeing Double” so I decided to get out my mirror and play. This is one of my alternates.

Wild berries on the green

Spreading beauty, as they are seen

Hanging down, untamed and free

Underneath a Summer tree

Spreading beauty, to all eyes that look

roots are wild

they belong to the unpredictable past

and that's where they keep the magic

reflections of what it was

A portion of the Milky Way in these summer days with the Dark Horse Nebula.

This nebula is one of the largest object of the deep sky. It is made up of many "small" dark nebulae mainly composed by interstellar gas clouds so dense to block light passing through.

Thanks to this simple mechanism we can detect the presence of such objects: by observing their silhouettes.

More extra info: the horse's back paw is usually called Pipe Nebula. And yet, in the belly of the horse lies a "small" (but fortunately visible in this photo) dark nebula with an "S" shape called Snake Nebula. Can you see them?

We came across this lovely meadow on a walk in Wharfedale, near Grassington. It’s Site of Special Scientific Interest as it has such a diverse range of plants.
