'wild child'
bit of a tenuous one this.. does it say wild to you?
I think she fits the subject and I did go a little wild on the processing :-)
used my sigma 10-20 to give a bit of distortion too..

I am... a mushroom; On whom the dew of heaven drops now and then.
~ John Ford
I am finally starting to see some daylight after being under the storm cloud of this bug I have been unable to shake off. Five days later I almost feel normal. Thanks for your patience in my absence.

Roses at Teddy the Wheaten's house... the background is a black granite tabletop. The light is coming from the open glass sliding door behind me on this rainy morning. The weather has been hit or miss lately. Thanx Pam, for always putting out such gorgeous flowers for me to photograph. :)
I make no claim as to any photographic excellence for this offering. It is merely to give an example of the ferocity of a huge storm that has hit this weekend over 2,000km. of the eastern Australian seaboard. For months we've had barely any rain, now some areas are reporting that over 500mm. has come down in 24 hours. Previously dried up water courses are now raging mud coloured torrents which are flooding roads and homes.
The weather forecasters reckon that we are only in for a few more hours of this battering, so hopefully they are right!

Two litters of piglets and their mothers moving quickly through the Forest of Dean.
One sow led the way with the piglets and the second mother followed behind - making sure none of the little ones lost their way.
This built was intended as a gift to my friends, Zoe and Sky, that are responsible for Wild Track.
Their "mission is to protect endangered species using a unique combination of advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and traditional ecological knowledge."
They "specialize in footprint identification technology (FIT). Footprints are many times easier to find than the animals themselves, and now that" they "can decode them, they can inform us on where species are, and where their individuals roam."
Zoe's favourite animal is the rhinoceros and since back in July of 2021 I had built the tiny rhinoceros as part of my 3 Companions project, it seemed fit to start with him. So I had the little calf... all I needed was his mother.
Making a bigger animal meant that I would have to study the animal's anatomy... and that's when the questions started to line up... white rhino... black rhino... they are both grey... which one was I trying to build? One of the distinct traces of the tiny rhino I had previously built was the square lip, that is also a characteristic of the white rhino, while the black rhino has a pointed lip. So it was decided, I was building a white rhino. I than tried to incorporate the most of the real animal into my built, such as the hoofs, the muscles of the legs, the hump and curvature of the back.
All this investigation proved to be productive because when I first unveiled the built Sky said: "You know, this is a white rhino!"
That just made my day.
It was a pleasure to build this, not only because I wanted to create an unique gift for Zoe and Sky but also because it was a lot of fun and challenging to incorporate that amount of detail into such a small construction.
Enough talk go and check the wonderful work they do in www.wildtrack.org .

It took several days before I could photograph it, because it was so shy. Every time it was on the run.

Wild turkeys are highly adaptable and can live in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and suburban neighborhoods. They prefer areas with a mix of open spaces foraging and wooded areas for roosting. This adaptability has allowed them to expand their range and thrive in regions where they were previously absent.
