Wild Horse Sculpture - A sculpture of 15 wild horses has crowned a barren Central Washington hillside for more than a decade, but the rusted sheets of steel still are an inspiring sight to travelers along busy Interstate 90.
The 200-foot line of life-size charging horses, the creation of David Govedare of Chewelah, Wash., captures a mystical spirit from a time when real wild horses roamed the steppes.
Titled "Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies," the scene symbolically re-creates the Great Spirit turning loose a herd of wild horses above the Columbia River's Wanapum Lake.
The artwork can be seen from viewpoints along I-90, about two miles east of the Vantage Bridge over the Columbia River. The eastbound off-ramp has a rough path that leads a quarter mile to the wild-horse monument. (OregonLive.com)
Wild Ginger (Asarum caudatum) has one of the most exotic-looking flower forms of any Pacific Northwest native plant. The inflorescence is easy to miss. The heart-shaped, paired leaves rise on hairy stems and often form dense mats which effectively conceal flowers whose calices (singular: calyx) terminate in long, thready extensions. This moisture lover can be found along streambanks in the lowland forest, but may also occur at higher elevations and in soil which is seasonally damp. This specimen was observed near Tahoma Creek.

Ramsons aka Wild garlic.
Whilst the foliage is very dense, the flowers seem (at the moment) less dense than usual. Last year like covered in snow !

Ashford Hangers, near Petersfield, Hampshire.
The most extensive hangers in UK.
National nature Reserve. Special Conservation (SCA).
Unique and rare lichen, rare flora.
Hanger is a wooded steep side of hill;
There were almost too many clouds. The weather was pretty bad, it was drizzling (it did for the rest of the day), temperature was plummeting (around freezing) and thick fogs reduced visibility to a few feet.
I took my chances with the sunrise. This is the iconic scene of the Wild Goose Island with towering mountains on all sides, cowering in the vastness of St. Mary Lake.
This beautiful flower was shot in a field in Co.Mayo, Ireland. I love the wildflowers of Ireland at the peak of the season! :)

One of the highlights from our recent vacation was a wild wolf sighting with a blind eye.
In the area that we were, wolves are difficult to view because the species is generally wary of any human presence. They also and have large ranges that can cover over 1000 square kilometers.
We reported this wolf to the Parks Canada and they did not recognize him (we think it was a male). They did tell us that they estimated the age to be 5-6 years of age. Wolves grey like humans do: they get more grey as time passes.
Unfortunately, the shot isn't as sharp as we'd like. We spotted this guy at about 8:30 pm, so the lighting was much less than ideal. I have lightened this image a lot.
Someday I need to find out what the name of these really are. I have a difficult time believing the name is really Wild Sunflower.
You would be wild and angry too, if you were swimming along with your mates and a brute caught you in a net.

Also known as the alpine ibex, this species of wild goat lives in the mountains of the European Alps.
The wild boys are calling
On their way back from the fire
In august moon's surrender to
A dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory
Reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail
Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us,
Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for a welcome
There's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while
You're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory
Where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over
Secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you
Looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

Driving up to Loch Thom for a swim along the old road I turned a corner and this view appeared in front of me like magic.
