This was taken in the afternoon believe it or not, I thought I was done for wild garlic this year although it is not centre stage here.
I was out scouting an area for the future, the retreating rain started to form a misty atmosphere in the forest. It was incredibly vibrant!
I have now been to two county parks where wild turkey have come down from the mountains and inveigled themselves with the more domesticated ducks and geese. Interesting...

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
She never wanted to be white picket fenced in
Her heart's like a feather in a Tulsa wind
A sea salt breeze will bring her to life
And all them other boys say she's a goodbye girl
She'll wreck your world
And leave before the mornin' sun
But here she is free layin' next to me
'Cause I ain't trying to tame her love
I keep the windows down and the wind in her hair
Keep her heart hanging on 'round every turn
She ain't scared to get tied down, scared to get burned
Just looking for somebody as wild as her
Wild, wild, yeah
Saw that highway unwind in her deep brown eyes
She saw a long stretch of dirt road dreamin' in mine
She ain't living for a diamond ring
Just living like the rock'n'roll song she sings out loud
We're burning it down
Blazing up a trail of smoke
Wherever we are, wherever we go
That's where she calls home
I keep the windows down and the wind in her hair
Keep her heart hanging on 'round every turn
She ain't scared to get tied down, scared to get burned
Just looking for somebody as wild as her
Wild, wild, yeah
Yeah, I ain't tryna fix her
I just wanna kiss her
Fuel a little fire in her soul
We don't say forever, but when we're together
I swear no, we ain't ever letting go
'Cause she knows
I keep the windows down and the wind in her hair
Keep her heart hanging on 'round every turn
She ain't scared to get tied down, scared to get burned
Just looking for somebody as wild as her
Wild, wild, yeah
Captured made of this iconic view there not long after sunrise. Quite the breeze kicked up by this time in the morning. The view there with the clouds over the peaks beyond was quite amazing to take in visually though.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

Nigritella rhellicani, "Schwarzes Kohlröschen" in German, but I always call it "Männertreu", one of its many names. They are mostly dark-coloured, almost black, but I found some that were almost red. They smell of vanilla - lovely!

This years crop of wild foals were all having a great time chasing each other around and playing foal games. I couldn't get a good shot of the group because they were mostly behind other horses. This youngster looped out from the heard and I was able to get an isolated shot. It was wonderful to be out here shooting these Wild horses again. More to come...

Bald Eagle I seen the other day, I only had the 100-400mm lens on. So kind of a distant shot, still happy to see this bird of prey regardless. :)
10 images in the set of wild flowers from our garden. I have added more than usual because they are for a flickr friend Judy who asked me where I bought the seeds from. These are to show some but not all the varieties that are in bloom at the moment.
The wild flowers:
Valeriana ( Valeriana carnosa )
Cuye colorado ( Oxalis adenophylla )
Anemona ( Anemone multifida )
and more... !!!!

Wild—even demonic—
Strawberries. Apologies

Fire, Ice, lensing drop.
At the end of the season,
Scorched leaves, unripe fruit.
Gaia knows the past,
And how the future unfolds,
But not what will be.

The quality could be better, I'm sorry, but I started to take pictures with that (for me) long and heavy lens only a few weeks ago (and loovee it ;-)!) and had a hard time to handle the extreme backlight there in addition. And those guys are kind of dark (in every way) ;-) and it's never that bright in Germany ;-))... but they impressed me too much not to post them.
