This was THE picture, not great photographically but of a genuine wild Orangutan. We'd been hoping to see one but were prepared for the fact that we might not see one in the wild.
Thought you might like to see the small weeping tree where if I am lucky, I get to photograph the odd bird or two lol. Not just the one branch as it might seem!
Wyethia, or mule's ears, are abundant in Grand Teton in Mid June. We were one week early, only a few patches were thick with mule's ear blooms. These mini sunflowers brighten up the sagebrush covered ground.

Nikon D60 + Nikkor P 180mm f2.8 .
Grows wild in the southern states, USA. Notice that at least 3 in the group would be most often a better photo.
With These Pictures, I was trying to get the model outside her normal look. She's usually very preppy and traditional.
A wild donkey walking along Route 66 outside of Oatman, Arizona. The donkeys in the area are from the old west mining towns that the miners released into the wild after the gold rush of the late 1800's.
Alright! Time to start listing some beautiful new kimono for all of you!
Here's my first offering for this season. It's a gorgeous Early Showa Era Kakeshita (bridal kimono). It likely originates around the 1930's or 40's. This furisode features a bold and beautiful pattern of wild waves, chrysanthemums (kiku), pulownia blossoms (kiri) and phoenixes. Some of the patterns are also accented with delicate gold lame. This piece also has a thickly padded hem for wearing hikizuri style (with the hem trailing), as is the style for bridal kimono. This garment is 100% silk. I believe the outside is chirimen or kinsha silk, while the white lining is likely habbotai. Curiously, this furisode has space for crests to be added, doesn't actually have crests at the moment.
MEASUREMENTS:
165cm - Long (Collar to Hem)
122cm - Arm span
57cm - Width across the back
128cm - Total width of skirt
105cm - Sleeve drop
SIZING:
If you are unsure of how to interpret the kimono's size it is important to know that the length (collar - hem) should be approximately 10cm longer to 10cm shorter than the wearer's overall height (longer is better). This is because the excess length will be folded up at the waist. Meanwhile, the skirt should wrap around the hips a full 1.5 times. The armspan should also reach wrist to wrist on the wearer. In this case, the kimono will ideally fit a woman about 155cm (5'1") - 175cm (5'9") tall, with hips about 85cm (33.5") around. There is some give and take in these measurements though.
