A wild rooster in the Botanical Gardens. The photograph was taken after the rooster had been chased by some "wild" children. ^_^
This image of an African wild dog (also known as African hunting dog or African painted dog) (Lycaon rictus) was captured in the wild in the Kruger National Park.
(It is a bit wet as it had a bit of a cool down in the river as it had a drink.)
(We were fortunate enough to encounter the same pack of about 12 - six adults and six or more pups - on two consecutive days. So, bear with me, there are more to come!)
This very special mint plant grows around the lake that I used to live beside. Three years ago I brought a plant home and it is thriving.
The horses that they eat food that people left in the rock for animals. Actually this horses are no wild horse.
Revisiting a gal and outfit I got quite a long time ago but never really photographed on her own…. So it was time she got her due! My pale blonde side-glancing Living Barbie from 1970. She came from her original owner who got her as a present back in Christmas 1970, played with her once and then packed her away for decades…. Hence, she is pretty much unplayed-with and best of all, the owner let me have her and her minty Live Action Ken, both with their complete and mint outfits, for about $20 AUD each! (About $14 USD). Around the same time, I finally nabbed an outfit I have wanted ever since I started collecting: - The funky ‘Wild ‘N’ Wintery’ from 1971. I had already photographed it years ago when I first got it, on my Barbie with Growin’ Pretty Hair, (who wore it in her TV ad,) but I thought it matched this gal’s personality a little better. The wonderful old-school detailing was still there, even with pink stockings hidden underneath those wild thigh-high ‘crocodile’ boots, (Love the matching white ‘croc’ belt!) She’s exploring my backyard on a crisp Autumn day.
A pretty wild geranium on the Blackstone River Bikeway in Cumberland, Rhode Island.

Turkey with dirt on its feet.
Wild Turkeys are very large, plump birds with long legs, wide, rounded tails, and a small head on a long, slim neck.
One of our largest and heaviest birds; smaller than a Trumpeter Swan; about twice the size (and four times as heavy) as a Ring-necked Pheasant.
Turkeys are dark overall with a bronze-green iridescence to most of their plumage. Their wings are dark, boldly barred with white. Their rump and tail feathers are broadly tipped with rusty or white. The bare skin of the head and neck varies from red to blue to gray.
Turkeys travel in flocks and search on the ground for nuts, berries, insects, and snails. They use their strong feet to scratch leaf litter out of the way. In early spring, males gather in clearings to perform courtship displays. They puff up their body feathers, flare their tails into a vertical fan, and strut slowly while giving a characteristic gobbling call. At night, turkeys fly up into trees to roost in groups.
Wild Turkeys live in mature forests, particularly nut trees such as oak, hickory, or beech, interspersed with edges and fields. You may also see them along roads and in woodsy backyards.
After being hunted out of large parts of their range, turkeys were reintroduced and are numerous once again.
Average life span in the wild is 3 to 4 years.- Wikipedia
