Fifty Wild Horses of 194 gathered at the Fish Creek Herd Management Area were released Jan. 10, 2025, near Eureka, Nevada. The purpose of the gather is critical to prevent undue or unnecessary degradation of the public lands associated with excess wild horses, and to restore a thriving natural ecological balance and multiple-use relationship on public lands, consistent with the provisions of Section 1333(b) of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. None were injured and 144 will be available for sale or adoption through a Bureau of Land Management program.

Daucus carota (common names include wild carrot, (UK) bird's nest, bishop's lace, and (US) Queen Anne's lace) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe, southwest Asia and naturalised to northeast North America and Australia; domesticated carrots are cultivars of a subspecies, Daucus carota subsp. sativus.
Daucus carota is a variable biennial plant, usually growing up to 1 m tall and flowering from June to August. The umbels are claret-coloured or pale pink before they open, then bright white and rounded when in full flower, measuring 3–7 cm wide with a festoon of bracts beneath; finally, as they turn to seed, they contract and become concave like a bird's nest. The dried umbels detach from the plant, becoming tumbleweeds.[1]
Very similar in appearance to the deadly poison hemlock, Daucus carota is distinguished by a mix of bi-pinnate and tri-pinnate leaves, fine hairs on its stems and leaves, a root that smells like carrots, and occasionally a single dark red flower in its centre....Wikipedia
The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is native to North America and is the heaviest member of the Galliformes. It is one of two species of turkey, the other being the Ocellated Turkey, found in Central and South America. Adult Wild Turkeys have a small, featherless, bluish head; a red throat in males; long reddish-orange to greyish-blue legs; and a dark-brown to black body. The head has fleshy growths called caruncles; in excited turkeys, a fleshy flap on the bill expands, becoming engorged with blood. Males have red wattles on the throat and neck. Each foot has four toes, and males have rear spurs on their lower legs.
For Our Daily Challenge "wild goose chase". I had no idea what to shoot, apart from wild magpie geese! (Which I chased around for a while to get a close enough shot of them).
These guys bombard the top end during the wet season, grazing on local grassy areas. In the dry season, they congregate mainly around billabongs and wetlands, but as we are now in wet season, and everything is wet and green, they can be seen all through the suburbs of Darwin.
While driving to the Poinsett Bridge, we passed a dozen large turkeys (Eastern Wild Turkeys) gathering next to the road. We stopped just down the road, and quickly grabbed our cameras. By the time we got close to the gathering spot, they were beginning to spook. I managed to grab a few shots before they crossed the road and disappeared into the woods. I'm no Jim Ridley, but I'm satisfied with these shots. It was a fun surprise...

Cliff trails at Wilder Ranch State Park, Santa Cruz, CA. I don't usually ride these trails, but I was lazy this day and headed out there for the sunset.
The white version of Sweet Violet is less common. If you look carefully, you can see a visitor in the flower!

I was working late one day when it started pouring rain. After the rain finished the lawn was suddenly full of these darling little birds picking at the worms in the ground. I don't know what kind they are but they're beautiful! I wish I had been more prepared to take photos because they didn't stay long.
