There are about 70 varieties of wild lupine growing in the Sierra and I am not sure which this is - my best guess is Torrey's Lupine. At any rate this is more like a ground cover due to the fact that is in compact, low lying and dense in many areas in the higher country. I found this patch near Glacier Point, after my hike up to Sentinel Dome.
Not much to write today, mostly because I am headed out to embrace the late afternoon and explore some more, but I have written a new blog post that describes how much joy I have finally found her in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite has become another of my teachers and I am grateful for the lesson.

The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is native to North America and is the heaviest member of the diverse Galliformes. It is the same species as the domestic turkey, which was originally derived from a southern Mexican subspecies of Wild Turkey (not the related Ocellated Turkey). Although native to North America, the turkey probably got its name due to the domesticated variety being imported to Britain in ships coming from the Levant via Spain. The British at the time therefore, associated the Wild Turkey with the country Turkey and the name stuck.
This one I made when Ginger had one of Marvins Airsoft guns in the backyard shooting it into the canyon and at cans. She couldnt figure out how to aim, and was closing her wrong eye. She looked so sexy, my version of course is a little embellished with the futuristic cowgirl style...
What an unforgettable drive last Fall! This was my first time to see a band of wild horses! My friends Shirley and Jackie and I wondered why they were there on the side of the highway. Then we say a young one that had been sleeping. They were protecting her. It is an encounter I will never forget!
This was taken on Shackelford Island, off the coast of Beaufort, NC (USA). These horses or ponies, whichever, are wild. They are believed to be left over from the original settlers. They are a little shy but but trusting enough to let you get this close.
Equine Love - Connection to previous image is:simlar stance and framing.
Went to see the Salt River wild horse this week. What a beautiful day. And we were lucky enough to see and photograph them. Salt River Wild Horse Country is located in central Arizona. The horses live along the Salt River Watershed, hence their name. Salt River Wild Horse Management Group, is a nonprofit that has been monitoring the herd for more than 17 years.
Keith Jones (I met him briefly, later) was really getting into it while drumming with the Wicked Tinkers at the Scottish Highland Games.

Right at the end of the day we saw a pair of wild dogs. I understand these are quite rare and are endangered, largely through inter-breeding with domestic dogs when they cross paths. It's important, clearly, that domestic dogs are not allowed anywhere near these.
