Seventh in the series ‘Wild Bonsai’, this tree is twenty-four inches (61cm) 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.

I hope to work a little more on my macro skills this year, I have none!! Here is one of many Wildflowers that complement our wild animals.
Spring is in the air and these Toms were strutting their stuff for the ladies. They kept gobbling and jostling for the attention of about 8 females in the area.

I have been watching Nick Page's youtube videos this week - one especially inspired me, youtu.be/lgp3SReMi1A?list=PLQ9T4QOz_BgwGRbsTT5eupeA-ambeO6EC on capturing waves. So in the rain and misery of Sunday afternoon I popped down to Bray beach. It was cold and the rain was horizontal, mainly off the sea into the camera lens. Here is only one of a couple of non-blurry, raindrop splattered images.
Suddenly there are lots of wild raspberries at the edge of the vegetable garden. The birds are enjoying them.
the weather has been wild these days . my home country of England has had its worst January ever and now there are wild winter storms in the Eastern US and Canada ..
.
and we are due for a big wind storm here later today .
Himalayan snowcock frequents alpine pastures and steep ridges of mountains of Central and South Asia above the treeline and near the snowline. In the Himalayas, it is found between 4000 and 5000 m elevation in summer, descending to 2400 m during severe winters. Since the Himalayan snowcock has a large distribution range and no visible declines in population, it has been considered a species of "least concern" by the IUCN.
In 1961 the similarity of the Himalayan landscape to the Nevada region was noted and the Himalayan snowcock was considered as a good game bird for introduction by the Nevada Fish and Game Commission. The Commission then approached the President of Pakistan for some birds. These were wild trapped in Hunza and early shipments faced heavy losses after which birds were locally reared at Mason Valley game farm and over a 15-year period (1965–1979) more than 2000 birds were released into the wild. A wild population more than 200 to 500 birds has established itself in the Ruby Mountains, where they forage above the treeline.

Look down! 'Wild petunia' wildflowers blooming alongside the...
DeKalb County (Winnona Park), Georgia, USA.
16 July 2023.
***************
▶ "Ruellia humilis —commonly know as wild petunia, fringeleaf wild petunia, hairy petunia, low wild petunia— is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to the eastern United States. Its habitats include prairies, glades, meadows, and open woodland environments. [Despite its common name, it is not a true petunia.]
Ruellia humilis grows 1-2 feet high. Its opposite leaves are to 2½ inches long (6 cm) by 1 inch wide (2.5 cm) and are light green to medium green with smooth margins and are covered with soft white hairs on both sides. The funnel-shaped. 5-lobed lavender flowers are about 1½ to 2½ inches in diameter (4-6 cm), and resemble petunias, as does the rest of the plant. The flowers bloom from July into September, opening in the morning and falling off in the evening."

One of the things that makes the Galápagos so extraordinary is how wildlife feels like it belongs—and you’re just a quiet visitor passing through.
You might find yourself drifting alongside a sea turtle as a school of fish scatters in the blue. Or watching a marine iguana bask in the sun before launching into the surf like a miniature dragon. Sally Lightfoot crabs scurry like living jewels over the lava rock, while giant tortoises lumber through the highland forests
I've highlighted some of the amazing birds in previous posts. In the Galapagos, it's about wild, ancient life in all forms—and being able to witness it up close in a place that still has a primal feel.
If you've been dreaming of an adventure like this, booking is now open for May 2027!

I saw these wild flowers on side on hill. The purple shading is sun hitting on the white petals of the flower.
