Having had the extreme privilege to watch African Wild Dogs and their most amazing interactions with each other for four days, I am still in shock to think that this was the first time in so many years that I have seen den-based Wild Dog pups. I truly am thankful for this.
In four days, I was able to to capture only a few keepers of the pups, as they just know how to always be under bushes and grass, and never be in the open. This one venturing up on a fallen tree was an absolute highlight, and at last, an image where it was in the open!
And all the girls walk by
Dressed up for each other
And the boys do the boogie-woogie
On the corner of the street

Spotted this beauty but when I looked closer I saw all the movement of the furry caterpillars.
They were slowly eating this bush of gorgeous pink wild Roses.
Notice they are single roses.

Looked for ages for a kingfisher with a great background. Didnt perch on the right spot but cant have it all.
Since I’m greedy I wish we had seen more wild elephants, but it was a pleasure to see this one after seeing so many captives saddled for the tourist trade. A wild Asian elephant at Kui Buri National Park, Thailand.
Wild flowers and painted stone found on daily exercise walk. The stone was placed in a crevice in a stone wall, message on the back of stone reads "4U2 keep"
Wild rhododendrons cover the hillsides along Kelly's Run. Those in the wild bloom in early July, which is about a month later than those we see planted around our local neighborhoods. Although we'd hiked the trail several times before, we had never been there when the rhododendrons were blooming, so it was a treat to catch them at just the right time.

I had a deep red Rhodie where this one is now and the squirrels dug around it and broke a limb off and it finally died this last summer... Sooo, I got another one and this is it's first blooming.. I am so excited to see how healthy it is and the fellow who does my yard is going to put a screen barrier just under the bark dust so the squirrels can't dig at the roots... I have never seen a rhodie this color and the name of the bush is Wild Ginger!!
At the foot of the garden, I created a strip, only 18" wide but around 60' long running alongside a gravel footpath. I wanted this strip to be our contribution to rewilding.
I have left it uncut and unfed. Just allowing it to do whatever it wanted to. Today it is full of daisies, poppies and other wild flowers in amongst the grasses. Not to mention the increased visiting wildlife of bees, hoverflies, frogs, newts, beetles and birds darting in for bugs and besties. I will cut this strip back roughly in around twelve weeks and let it do it all again next year.

Looking for Spring again. Trees are starting to bud. I am afraid the cold weather will get them. This was taken almost 11 years ago at my friends house in Rock Hill SC The next owners of the property had no interest in keeping up the yard plants. Many plants died.
Wild Marjoram. (Origanum vulgare).
Wild Marjoram is actually the same aromatic herb as oregano which is used in Mediterranean cooking. Its small, pink flower clusters can be seen on chalk and limestone grasslands in summer.
It's a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae.

Wild Arum / arum maculatum. Pioneer Meadows, Derbyshire. 20/04/18.
A fresh Wild Arum plant, one of many in a rather damp, shaded area of woodland. This specimen had plenty of dark blotches on its leaves, making it very attractive. However, I noticed that the majority of plants in the area completely lacked these leaf markings.
