Did you know there are five subspecies of wild turkey in North America? However, Florida is the only place in the world where the Osceola subspecies is found. Also known as the Florida wild turkey, this unique bird lives only on the Florida peninsula. It’s similar to the eastern subspecies, which is found in north Florida, but tends to be smaller and darker with less white barring on the wings.
Many people don’t know that wild turkeys are powerful fliers. They can fly as fast as 55 miles per hour for short distances. However, to conserve energy, turkeys spend most of their time on the ground, where they search for acorns, seeds, fruits, leaves, insects, small reptiles, frogs, snails and more. They are woodland birds, preferring open forests and where forests and fields meet.
Wild turkeys are social animals and typically flock together in groups. These wary birds have excellent eyesight and will run away or fly to a tree to escape danger. At night, they roost in trees to avoid ground predators.
“Wild turkeys are an amazing conservation success story in Florida and across North America,” said Brian Yablonski, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Chairman. “They had almost disappeared by the turn of the century, with populations remaining in remote pockets of habitat. However, thanks to science-based wildlife restoration efforts, today Osceola and eastern wild turkeys are thriving throughout the state.”
I found these two along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.

Snowy Egret, Colorado, USA by Peter Ismert
The Río Grande del Norte National Monument was established on March 25, 2013 by Presidential Proclamation. The landscape is comprised of rugged, wide open plains at an average elevation of 7,000 ft (2,133 m), dotted by volcanic cones, and cut by steep canyons with rivers tucked away in their depths. Within the monument is the Wild Rivers Recreation area which protects the Río Grande and the Red River as wild and scenic rivers. The Rio Grande, shown here, carves an 800 foot deep gorge through layers of volcanic basalt flows and ash. The volcanic cones in the distance is Cerro Chiflo, elevation 7,660 ft (2,335 m).
Hope everyone is enjoying a lovely weekend. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

I feel obligated each year to post at least one photo of a wild rose when they start blooming on the prairie and roadsides since it is the state flower of Iowa. It turns out there are 4 different species of wild rose that bloom here in our state and the specific species was not designated when it was named as the state flower in the late 1800's. My guess is that this is Rosa blanda, smooth wild rose, since I didn't notice many thorns on the stems.

I tried so hard :), took a creative photo of the spiked object for Macro Mondays, but alas, it was removed from the group. OK, good. Here is the whole drawing.
All the same as previous - botanical illustration. Graphite pencil. Wild Rose.
Close up of the wild flower meadow in the fields beyond Captains Wood. There were a lot of butterflies about too.
Wild ‘Yamabuki’ blooming in two rows. Taken by the trailside.
Kerria japonica (Japanese kerria, ‘Yamabuki’ in Japanese) is a flowering shrub in the rose family, native to Japan and northeastern Asia.
Palomino wild stallions are a rare sight. I can only think of four out of all the wild stallions I have seen. This absolutely magnificent stallion is known as Bobby and has a beautiful little band.
Colorado wild horses
Wild colours all around
Rising up from the ground
Yellows, white and much green
All around, now are seen
By the eyes, as birds they sing
Of the beautiful colours, found in Spring

Midsummer nights dream series....
Wild and free....
l am wild and free!! Wondering through the Soft tender wild lush pastures scorched by the suns warmth and light in their golden brown hues so tender glistening with the golden sun. Earths rich trees fade to the shadows blowing in the wind and air wrapped in the silk clouds. As the birds finish their final hums the sky's turn peach with light that transcends through out time and space moments warm the soul... I am wild and free.... Freedom resides deep within You!!
A message to all woman in the world...Freedom resides deep within You!! You are precious unique individuals !! Freedom of choice and expression is your human right. Sending love and light!!

Almost there.
Fresh conker from a horse chestnut tree.
A wild chestnut found under the tree, I recorded the ‘opening’, over almost 18 days. It was fascinating.
Aesculus hippocastanum is a large tree, commonly known as horse-chestnut or conker tree.
The horse chestnut's fruit is colloquially called a "conker" and refers to the shiny brown, poisonous seed that is protected by a green spiny capsule.

Picture this ...
You are driving alone as the sun sets, you feel a lil tired and want to stretch your legs but you are in the middle of nowhere, off the beaten track, not a road to be seen for miles.
You park your truck, put on your cowgirl hat and jump out to walk around taking in the beauty of the wilderness. Trees, weeds and wildflowers are all that can be seen along a dirt path.
You walk along until you find yourself standing there with your eyes fixated on the simple elegance of a pale pink wild flower,
your mind drifts the the fate that the petals might decide for you if you were to play the he loves me he loves me not game .. but you decide against it, and just gaze at the flower and daydream about a time you might meet somebody special ... knowing it will always be a daydream and that the petals never really determine your fate.

Seen on an out-of-the-way woodsy bank in Tilden Park, along a service road.
After some research I doubt this Iris is native to the Bay Area. CA has some native Iris but they live mostly in the valleys and on the north coast
Here's to Nature!
A wild Goshawk photographed in Germany. This male is fanning out its under-tail coverts. I've had many amazing wildlife experiences but being underneath the piercing stare of a wild Goshawk is certainly up there!!

We had a wicked Nor'easter blow through over the past couple of days. There was drenching rain for a few hours (which we haven't had in two months) followed by 24 hours of very strong winds. Foolishly, I headed to the beach for the sunset last night. The winds were WILD. The sand was blowing straight at me and after 10 or 15 minutes I couldn't take it anymore. I was, however, lucky to get a few shots of the amazing display behind the East End Lighthouse. I'm not sure if my lens survived though. But....it was worth it! A bad day at the beach is better than.....well, just about anything!
I have loved her my little wanderer, with a mind full of wild forest and eyes that wait adventure

Wild Dogwood Blooms this tree is growing in the woods, pretty wild but holding it's own, a bit thin because of a late freeze, shot in North Carolina.
By early August, wild Alaskan blueberries will be ready for picking. In fact, all of Alaska's wild berries will be harvested in August. As residents wander through the forests and hillsides in search of their favorite berries - the bears are doing the same thing. Also sharing the forest at the same time, are hunters who want to harvest their winters meat.
When you put the whole scene together - you picture; folks with buckets bending over the forest floor picking berries, as bears tiptoe by wanting their share of the fruit, and hunters with guns at the ready, in search of wild game. Now what could possibly go wrong? LOL
Happy picking and hunting to all. May your freezers be filled with Alaska's bounty.
HSS!
