"Wildes Wasser"
Was für Gegensätze! War es doch am Cascade des Tufs noch schön verträumt und idylisch ist es hier im hintersten Teil der Gorge de Flumen wild und rauh, aber dennoch idylisch schön. Hier im hintersten Teil dieser Schlucht war man innert einer Minuten komplett durchnässt und das Kamera-Equipment musste ziemlich viel aushalten......ein paar Sekunden und man konnte schon wieder das Objektiv reinigen......ich nahm mir hier zusätzlich noch einen Regenschirm zur Hilfe, damit wenigsten in aller Ruhe das Objektiv om Wasser befreien konnte und dann schnell ein Bild machen konnte, bevor ich es wieder reinigen musste.
A totally different world we met at Gorges de Flumen, also located in the French Jura. While it was a fairy-tale-world at Cascade des Tufs, some 50 kilometers south it was a rough, wild and untamed area with three huge waterfalls and some smaller ones at the end of the gorge. It was tough to photograph this location - within sceonds the gear was completely wet and you were lucky to take at least one image with no water drops on the lenses. I was a bit unconventional here and used an umbrella to protect the lens while cleaning, so I was able to clean the lens and take one image before cleaning again.
This is the second one I have found in our neighbourhood. If this garden shrub grows so well in the wild here in the Interior of BC I can imagine it would be quite invasive at the Coast or on Vancouver Island.
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]

This wild wisteria was blooming all over the forests of Myrtle Beach - giving a truly magical quality to the already beautiful woods there.
Vietnam scored a last gasp second-leg equaliser for a 1-1 draw with Thailand to clinch the Southeast Asian championship for the first time on Sunday.
With the match tied 2-2 on aggregate and seconds away from extra time, the dangerous Le Cong Vinh leapt high above the Thai defence to head home Nguyen Minh Phuong's free kick and spark ecstatic scenes across Vietnam.
Tens of thousands of people poured onto the gridlocked streets of HoChiMinh, waving flags, sounding horns and beating together pots and pans in wild celebration of the country's first international title.
"I'm so happy and we have a huge, huge party now," Vietnam's Portuguese coach Henrique Calisto told Reuters while mobbed by raucous fans.
"I'm not surprised, we gave everything we had. We fought hard and deserved this win."
Thailand, upset 2-1 in the first leg, had most of the chances and went ahead after 21 minutes when Teerasil Dangda beat goalkeeper Duong Hong Son to head Sutee Suksomkit's free kick into the net.
Defender Suree Sukha had his header well saved close to halftime and Hong Son was again called into action on 59 minutes when he pushed away Teerathep Winothai's low drive from outside the area.
Thailand paid dearly for their misfiring after conceding a disputed free kick deep into stoppage time when Vinh collapsed at the feet of Suree with no apparent contact.
Vinh buried Thailand's hopes of a fourth title when he flicked the ball into the top corner to stun the visitors and trigger mass revelry at a sellout My Dinh Stadium.
Thailand's English coach Peter Reid felt luck was not on his side.
"We were the best team but that's how it goes in football," Reid told Reuters.
"The players were brilliant in this tournament, I'm delighted with them. A bad refereeing decision in the last leg has cost us the title, but that's life, I can't complain."

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.
When I was in Cox's Bazar, I saw these wild flowers and really liked the colors. The bricks were once part of a coast line which is slowly going under water as you can see in my last picture. The last light from the sun created a really nice effect over the leaves and flowers.

Cox's Bazar is a town, a fishing port and district headquarters in Bangladesh. It is known for its wide sandy beach which is the world's longest natural sandy sea beach. It is an unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slope. It is located 150 km south of Chittagong. (WIKIPEDIA)

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)

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.

"Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”

The pictures I took for Namiren's contest on tumblr (namiren.tumblr.com/post/92174977405/contest-its).
The contest was themed "Wild flowers". My idea was to have my Mori girl Lien fall asleep in a field and waking up to find her sleeping place and even her dress overgrown with flowers. To that end I made three different versions of that white dress, one blank, one with some/budding flowers, and the third one in full bloom. The embroidery on the dresses took a lot of time; all in all I spent around 50 h on the dresses. However, I'm quite happy with the end result.

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.
