Usually found near some oak (acorns are a favorite food). The best habitat includes a mixture of woodland and open, clear areas.
Genus=Cardamine. A common, low-growing, TINY weed in my garden. This is one of the many varieties of wild cress, probably "Hairy Bittercress". All Cardamines are edible and delicious. Slightly pungent and full of vitamin C (it is said). They make a wonderful addition to salads, processor dips, a sandwich, or whatever else your creativity comes up with. I found a lot of it growing under wraps with my winter lettuce and chard which are hanging on, waiting for spring. Meanwhile, the cress presents itself, ready to go.
Three favorite reference books:
L.A. Peterson, EDIBLE WILD PLANTS.
I. Hatter, ROADSIDE RAMBLES.
S. Brill, IDENTIFYING AND HARVESTING EDIBLE AND MEDICINAL PLANTS.
In the UK, the following title looks promising, from what I saw on Amazon. . . I'm sure there are more!

Wild haggis (Haggis scoticus) is a mysterious creature said to be native to the Scottish Highlands.[1][2] It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep (including heart, lungs, and liver).[3]
According to some sources, the wild haggis's left and right legs are of different lengths (cf. Sidehill gouger or Dahu), allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat, but only in one direction.[2][4] It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs. The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain (as seen from above) while the latter can run anticlockwise.[5] The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her. As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the haggis population are accentuated.[2]
The Wild Weasel concept was originally proposed in 1965 as a method of countering the increasing North Vietnamese SAM threat, using volunteer crews flying the two-seat F model of the F-100 Super Sabre. While an effective airframe, the F-100F Wild Weasel did not have the performance characteristics to survive in a high threat environment. The first Wild Weasel squadron was the 354th Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Takhli Royal Thai Air Base, Thailand. After 45 days of operations against North Vietnamese targets, the 354th had one airplane left and of the 16 aircrew members, four had been killed, two were POW's, three had been wounded and two had quit.

This wild wisteria was blooming all over the forests of Myrtle Beach - giving a truly magical quality to the already beautiful woods there.
There's always that one 'fruit' in the family or wild child in every bunch - or in this case patch. I can only image what music a water melon listens to. Bananarama? Smashing Pumpkins? Lemonheads? The Cranberries? Blind Melon?

*Thought it may look like a crop of the other photo this is actually a separate image after I zoomed out with my feet :)
A wild rabbit eating in the lawn.
After an 8 year hiatus from photography, to let my carpal tunnel improve...I've decided to get back into it. First I gotta get used to this new camera's controls. This is a practice photo of a wild rabbit grazing in my lawn.

a peek at the folks who gathered in SF to participate in the 101st Annual Bay to Breakers run. Weird, Wild and Wacky doesn't even begin to describe the sightings I saw, clothed and unclothed. Yep I suppose I'll be back again in 2013 to see this event. Quite entertaining

This image is from a while back, but the weather is about the same today - rain, fog, and maybe a little colder though. The light snow changed to rain last night and this morning all the roads are clear and it is a lot warmer than the last couple of days.
Today is a memorial service in Tucson for the victims of the shooting and the recovery of Congresswoman Giffords. President Obama will be attending. A friend of mine from New Mexico called to ask if she could park at my home which is near the venue there. I wish that I could attend but I am in Washington state at this time. It was nice to talk with her about the tragedy and the condition of the rhetoric in this country and its effect on the vulnerable and unstable.

I walked through the park after my visit to the Whitney Museum in NYC (that is where I saw the Friedlander show). The reminders of fall were everywhere still.
I got some sad news today. turns out the tragedy in Tucson hit closer to home than I first thought. My daughter went to school (a gifted high school) with Gabe Zimmerman who died in the shooting and I met him through her on occasions. I did not make the connection till she called me and told me of this. He was 30 years old, the same age as my daughter.

While most of the wild proboscis monkeys were close to each other in a cluster, some animals were slightly far from the group, as this pair right here. Detailed notes as well as real close-ups of proboscis monkeys, both male and female, appear in my Sandakan and Lubok Monkey Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary set.
