These two young California Condors were both born in the wild and have so far not been trapped and marked.
Wild Strawberry is Perfect.
The fruit ripens in late spring or early summer. Much smaller than commercial strawberries, it takes long to collect, but tastes much better. Stuff yourself with wild strawberries, collect them to use on cer>eal, in pancakes, oatmeal, fruit salad, sauces, or other desserts. They are so good, they are the symbol of perfect excellence.
A HAIKU GUIDE TO WILD STRAWBERRIES
1. Always pick the day
before the berry;
try the first day of summer.
2. Then fall to your knees
and follow your nose
in a field the sun favors.
3. Yes, bring a bucket
but to eat your fill,
you must be lucky or small.
4. And to bring them home,
even to loved ones,
makes you a strawberry saint.

If you spot miniature, juicy red strawberries on the grassy banks of limestone and chalk downlands, open woodland, scrubland and railway cuttings, the chances are you are looking at a Wild Strawberry plant. Not actually the ancestor of commercial strawberries, the Wild Strawberry does have an excellent flavour. With long, rooting runners, it spreads quickly and low to the ground; its white flowers appear from April to July and the tasty fruits follow.
Wild Strawberry has glossy, trefoil leaves with toothed edges and hairy undersides; white flowers with five petals and a golden centre; and distinctive red fruit with tiny seeds.
This is one of about a half dozen wild horses we came across in the paramo at very high elevation (about 12,000 feet) in the Andes near Cerro de Arcos.
This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
In the sunshine, every hour
Nature blooms and does flower
Creating wonders for all to see
Wild beauty growing wild and free
In many colours and in green
Nature blooms just like a dream
self portrait...

Kevin and I take an au natural approach to our yard. One benefit, we have discovered, is that wild raspberries thrive under our care or lack thereof. Kevin has sacrificed a great deal of sweat and a hefty portion of blood (skeeters galore) this year to bring in pail after pail of these delightful treats. So tasty!

Indian Pink, I think this is called. Pretty cool colorful wild flower. We have some more tall stalky things but no signs of blooms yet. Maybe they're just weeds.

British actor Michael Wilding (1912-1979) worked steadily in British films for nearly three decades. Though never a star of the first rank, he had leading roles in numerous films, including several musicals in which he co-starred with Anna Neagle. Wilding moved to Hollywood and was featured in two Hitchcock films, Under Capricorn (1949) and Stage Fright (1950).
Michael Charles Gauntlet Wilding was born in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England, in 1912. After leaving school, Michael wanted to be a portrait and commercial artist. He left home at age 17 and trained for the career by traveling around nightclubs and cafes in Brussels, Antwerp, and Paris, earning a living by sketching portraits. In 1933, he approached a London film studio for a job as a set designer in the art department. Instead, they invited him to come to work as an extra due to his dashing good looks. At age 21, he debuted as an extra in Bitter Sweet (Herbert Wilcox, 1933) starring Anna Neagle. He was sent to Austria to play opposite Mabel Poulton in Pastorale, which didn't get released. Horrified at his performance he decided to go into rep theatre to learn his job properly and was accepted by Watford Repertory Theatre. In 1934, he made his stage debut in 'The Ringer'. A year later, he made his West End debut in 'Chase the Ace' (1935), and then he returned to films. He had bigger film parts in the sports drama There Ain't No Justice (Pen Tennyson, 1939), Convoy (Pen Tennyson, 1940), and Tilly of Bloomsbury (Leslie S. Hiscot, 1940). He had a good role in Sailors Three (Walter Forde, 1940), and Sailors Don't Care (Oswald Mitchell, 1940). Wilding worked steadily in British pictures for nearly three decades. Though never a star of the first rank, he had leading roles in numerous films, including a part in the classic In Which We Serve (Noël Coward, David Lean, 1942), the story of a British Naval ship, H.M.S. Torrin, from its construction to its sinking in the Mediterranean during action in World War II.
Michael Wilding finally became a film name with Dear Octopus (Harold French, 1943), starring Margaret Lockwood. He followed it with English Without Tears (Harold French, 1944). After the war, he starred opposite Paulette Goddard in An Ideal Husband (Alexander Korda, 1947) based on the play by Oscar Wilde. In the following years, Wilding co-starred with Anna Neagle in such musicals as Spring in Park Lane (Herbert Wilcox, 1948), and Maytime in Mayfair (Herbert Wilcox, 1948). Wilding moved to Hollywood and was featured in two of Hitchcock's lesser efforts, Under Capricorn (Alfred Hitchcock, 1949) with Ingrid Bergman and Stage Fright (Alfred Hitchcock, 1950) starring Marlene Dietrich. Wilding's last film role was a two-line cameo in Lady Caroline Lamb (Robert Bolt, 1972), in which he co-starred with his fourth wife, Margaret Leighton. Michael Wilding passed away in 1979 in London, England. An epileptic seizure triggered Wilding's fall down a long flight of stairs. The head injuries received in that fall proved fatal. He was 66. He was married to Kay Young (1937-1951), Elizabeth Taylor (1952-1957), Susan Neill (1958-1962), and Margaret Leighton (1964 -1976 - her death). The first three marriages ended in a divorce and he had two sons with Elizabeth Taylor, Christopher Edward Wilding, and Michael Wilding Jr. Allegedly, he had a homosexual affair with playwright Noël Coward in the mid-1930s. In 1964, Wilding filed a $3 million libel suit against gossip columnist Hedda Hopper for implying that he was gay in her book, 'The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth'. The suit was settled for $100,000.

If you want to know what Wild Africa looks like, I suggest you take a trip to Amboseli. Here, you would find the mighty elephant snacking with the tiny gazelles and cranes with lions lurking in the distance. You will not know which frame to shoot and which frame to ignore. You will also be thoroughly confused about what to focus on; the landscape or the animal. And which animal! Yes, all of this happened to me. I thought I was prepared for the wilderness but I wasn’t. It engulfed me, confused me, delighted me and left me begging for more.
This photo was one of the first wildlife photos I have ever taken, so is very special to me. I remember being outside our beautiful lodge – Ol Tukai and photographing some baboons, when my husband came running and screamed ‘Why the hell are photographing baboons who live here? When there is a herd of wild elephants just outside?’ No offense to baboons, but caught in the heat of the moment I ran, giving our welcoming party quite a scare. Ol Tukai is built around a large watering hole in Amboseli and is a haven for elephant watching. I gaped as a huge herd of elephants strolled by. Then came zebras, then the water buffalos, then more elephants. It was so incredible. Unbelievable. I felt no camera or lens can ever do justice to the beauty I was witnessing, as I tried to capture at least some of it for myself. I still get gooseflesh thinking of that first encounter with Wild Africa.
Btw you can clearly see that the elephant in the background has been enjoying a soak in the muddy waters, his lower half is much darker than the upper!
