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]
There's a kind of wild beauty to the dried up stands of weeds on a building site. Still one of my favourite hunting grounds.
Hunting the endangoured wild nemo has become a very tragic practice amongst young wild Arabic men. This was a rare occasion that one of these tragic incodences were cought on tape.

I startled a wild turkey (or should I say it startled me when it flapped off with great loud flapping sounds). I went over to the spot she rose from and found her nest. Hope she comes back.
The nest is made from long leaf pine needles. I would estimate the mother weighs at least 20 lbs. Her tail feathers look like a brown fan as she flies up at a 45 degree angle.

We saw this group of wild swimmers heading up the Ouse from Barcombe. They were not hanging about given they were heading upstream. I've got a load of film shots of them I have yet to get developed, but I think this is an interesting shot.
I saw a documentary about wild swimming the other day; it was interesting in that putting yourself at the level of the river makes the critters much less afraid of you. If I wasn't such a rubbish swimmer I'd give it a go :o)
As fancy as the previous version was, I think still nothing beats good old BW...

This restaurant was previously Good Fortune.
Wild Horse, CO, was established in 1869, when a detachment from the local US Army calvary came across hundreds of wild horses gathered at a watering hole.
The Kansas Pacific extended a railway line through the area and from 1869 through 1906, Wild Horse was just a station. The boom for the town came in 1906 and the town peaked by about 1911. Wild Horse boasted a drug store, two restaurants, three saloons(though one only lasted a week), two cream stations, a barber shop, and more. The Wild Horse Times was the town newspaper, and in 1912, the schoolhouse was built. The local bank, the Alfalfa Valley Bank, called Wild Horse "the best little town in the west." But bad fortune was quick to befall the town. A series of fires soon hit Wild Horse, and in 1917, a big fire erupted from a toppled stove in one of the cream stations, and almost the entire eastern half(which also happened to be the business side) of the town was destroyed. Residents tried to rebuild, but with the Great Depression and "dirty thirties," many residents left to find greener pastures.
Today, not much remains of the town. Blink and you'll miss it driving by on the highway. The original school house still stand, in great condition, and a few buildings and houses are scattered around the land. A few people still call this town home, but it will never return to the glory days it once enjoyed.
This Hog had chased this man back to his truck where he got his handgun and shot it. It weighted 1100 lbs.

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.
Dipsacus fullonum...there are many vivid and descriptive folk names for this plant such as brush and comb,johnny prick the finger,and ouch you mother.
Love how Wind Talker is giving Little Thunder the side eye (and oh! that mane).
Sand Wash Basin, Colorado wild horses free (as of May 2017 at least).
Near the harbor of my city there is a very little garden, complete with a brook.
And here there are many wild flowers, very beautiful and interesting.
A small corner of peace and greenery where you can relaxing..
