Taken at Nagshead RSPB reserve.
A bit blurred I know, but as they are the only photos of wild boar that I have, I need to keep until I can get some better ones

Friend's Scott and Bonnie owners of Wild Wings where I get all my wild bird feeding supplies!
As you can see from my photos I've been having a wild time :) There are so many native plants to photograph around this area.
Polymer clay beads handmade by me.
Long tube beads are made of complex cane and smaller round beads are kind of lava beads. All the beads are sanded by hand and buffed.
One tube bead is instead of clasp.
Necklace is made of wax cord, polymer clay beads and some glass beads.
Manthorpe church Wild Man - he is also a king and a mouth-puller.
A strange motif for a Victorian church/. Why was he and his fellows on the four corners of the tower chosen??
I usually find this shrubby wildflower on steep, shady, stream-side slopes in my area of southern Ohio.
Back in February I saw a news clip from back home in Alberta. It was about a photographer named Gilles Korent who had been taking photos of the various bands of wild horses along the Alberta Foothills. He was planning on making a book about them, bringing an awareness to the last of Alberta's free ranging wild horses.Also, last fall, my Uncle Tom took a few photos of a small band while out deer hunting and he sent those photos to me. I decided then, when I get home I was going to try to find some myself, even if I did not get a single photo of them, I wanted the experience. So ...
My sister and I on our way back from Jasper planned to go back through the forestry roads in effort to get a glimpse of some of the wild horses in the area. We started down the planned road and were about an hour in, when we felt we may have trouble with the vehicle, we were smelling some smoke, there is no cell service out there and we had hundreds of slow miles to go ...so we turned around to go back to the highway. I felt, we both felt disappointed about that but who wanted to be stuck out in the wilderness with a broken down car. As we were about half way back out, my sister spotted this black silhouette a good way off through the trees. What ?! I was amazed , could we really be this lucky ? There was this sort of slouching horse, standing, not moving at all other than a swish of the tail now and then, probably napping ... so for about 10 minutes we watched and waited for some movement, looking for any others. I thought, we should go on down the road further and climb up over the hill, we should see the horse closer, and we will be down wind so he won't hear us or smell us. And so that is what we did ! When I got out of the car, I could hardly contain myself, and walk rather than jog up the hill ha ! So we made our way up, not entirely sure how close he would be, would he still be there, would there be any others, as we peaked up over the hill we came upon a white-tail buck (I have a photo of him too, sweet face, I will post later) He stood still trying to figure out if he should run or be still. He decided to trot off, as we moved on a couple of steps , we saw him ! This beautiful chocolate/black stallion. he had not yet seen us, the little buck had his attention. I had to try to slowly and quietly move to my right and up a little to get out from behind some brush for a clear shot, he was still about 200 feet away from us. That is when he noticed us ! Ears at full attention, eyes full forward, nostrils flared trying to get our scent. He took an intimidating step toward us, my heart racing with joy and danger all the while snapping a few photos and hoping they turned out. He did not like us there, he took another couple stomping steps toward us and so we backed off and left him be. This was such a wonderful experience and highlight for me. I am thrilled to share the couple of photos I have. They could be a better quality, but I am just so happy to have them for my memory banks :)
Thank you to Mr. Korent and to my Uncle Tom for inspiring me to just finally do this. And to my sister for coming with me. Now I want more. haha

Wild West Selfie! I encouraged one of the Marshals and my favorite Saloon Girl to pose for this one with my 1914 Kodak 1A. This photo was taken during Wild West Days in Viroqua, Wisconsin.
These wild fruits are so inviting yet enedible. Their white covering is a bit translucent and there ia a hollow space between covering and its seed.
Endangered mushroom tongue salamander (Bolitoglossa conanti) from Cusuco National Park, Honduras, Central America. June 2010.
My wife spotted these guys on the side of the road on our way from Waterton to Pincher Creek, it's only the second time i have seen Wild Turkeys.
This is the first of a series of shots on this one subject. Perhaps I will wait to explain it, and see what Flickronian imaginations come up with :)
Wild horses in Sand Wash Basin, Colorado. Spring 2017.
"Since humans first huddled around campfires, stories have been told of wild horses with wind in their manes, fire in their eyes and freedom in their hearts. Those horses eluded capture, and scorned the comforts of civilization. Americans have insisted they want their wild horses to live that way, forever."
