Random Object Photographs

A few from out in Mom's garden/jungle today.
Great pics! It's not just "Musick [that] has Charms to sooth a savage Breast", as Wm. Congreve wrote, but often Nature as well. (Hurricanes, Vesuvius, etc. excepted :eek:) My gf finds a lot of comfort just sitting out listening to and watching the birds and insects :)
 
A John Denver moment this morning

"Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Had this old feller in front of me this morning. Doing a fair clip, too, around 50.

Pics snapped with my phone, but there may be just as good ones from my dash cam.

I think I've seen wider tires on bicycles! :)

OK, who's going first?

From a wildlife pic. gallery in The Guardian:

"Kestrel chicks look out from their nest on the side of a house in Rochdale, UK.
They are about to take flight for the first time."​

They look a little anxious as they do their first pre-flight check (chick) :)

When we were on the home ranch the last time, a guy bought the ranch next to us to raise bison.
I told him he needed to upgrade the fences considerably.
He told me Wyoming law decreed that land owners had to “fence things out,”not in.

I told him that the first time a bison appeared on our land I would call him and tell him the location of the critter. The second time I would tell him where the carcass was.

He was the owner of a high tension power line construction company and they erected a 10 foot high fence using seven rows of power cable and electrified five of them.

We got along pretty well.
They eventually sold the ranch and moved the bison to a ranch on the Colorado state line south of Cheyenne.
