The African wild dog hunts in packs and small groups. Like most members of the dog family, it is a cursorial hunter, meaning that it pursues its prey in a long, open chase. Nearly 80% of all wild dog hunts end in a kill; for comparison, the success rate of lions, often viewed as ultimate predators, is only 30%. The misleadingly placid appearance of this fellow can prove fatal to many an unfortunate antelope or other animal victim. African Wild Dogs are experts in team work and are know to chase their prey over long distances and then literally tear the unfortunate victim apart when it's still alive. (Al Ain, Dec. 2012)
Wild fennel grows everywhere in this section of Fort Ord. It's very aromatic, which was lucky for us, because we held bunches of it up to our noses to ward off the absolutely nauseating smell of the dogs, who managed, within seconds of our arrival, to roll in something that smelled like the bowels of hell.

Alarge saguaro cactus overloks the Sonoran desert in the Saguaro National Park (West), Tucson, AZ. A saguaro cactus has a lifespan of 150-200 years, and takes about 70 years to grow the first arm.
I have had this image confirmed as a Chiffchaff, making it my best Chiffchaff to date. Taken from the hide at Lochwinnoch where i hadnt been for many many months now. A very nice return for me.
I was in for a surprise when I looked up this Florida shrub and learned that wild coffee contains dimethyltryptamine, not caffeine. Also called DMT, this is a hallucinogenic substance.

Read more about this and download an HD version at: steveczajka.posterous.com/wild-horses-wallpaper Wild Horses was a significant calligraphy piece for me. The next blog post will explain it. For now just enjoy another wallpaper for download. Next week I intend to drop the major piece, and explain how this was created via a write up called the "Making of Wild Horses". Enjoy Steve ...
When photographing wild mustangs, you always hope that they'll suddenly rear up dramatically, hooves churning the air and nostrils flaring. In reality, they tend to just have staring contests with boulders.
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
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.

Wood engraving
Gift of the artist’s mother, Mrs. S. E. Geary
Geary enjoyed hunting wild geese and ducks on his rural property in Carroll County. Here he represents two Canada geese, one in flight and the other standing in the foreground. The background suggests the shallow water of a marsh or pond with some vegetation.
