A red leaf wild rose. Not native to western North America. Not sure how this one wound up in our yard but I do enjoy it.

Caught this turkey vulture as it circled overhead. They are so graceful in flight, I could watch them for hours.
I think cats instinctively eat grass or other greens in order to help them cough up a hairball.....
p.s. Thank you so much for sharing this. Their pristine wildness has me shedding tears of joy.
They do look graceful in flight but have a mighty bad B.O. problem you’ll notice if you ever get close enough to one.🤢
So would you if you ate dead things all day, I can only imagine. But the neighbor has chickens and if the wind is just right, 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

I had a big beautiful hibiscus in my office, and when I quit, I took it home, and it died. Sad. Apparently it took the change in jobs harder than I did. Maybe it was hooked on all the BS floating around there. We called ourselves mushrooms, 'kept in the dark and fertilized with (fed) BS'... 🤔😁😁😁
It's always so cool to watch the big birds sailing the air currents, the updrafts and down. Ever watchful for prey. They used to terrorize my new cocker spaniel pup. At least until he thought I would defend him. (Keep pooping in the house, and I'm sure they would be grateful for the snack! 😯) He ended up being the best small dog I've ever had. Wish I could have cloned him.
The vet told me that dogs will eat grass to make themselves puke. It usually means their stomachs are upset. We changed food on one of our dogs who we thought was bulemic, the eating of grass went away totally.
We have provided a bathing trough for ours so they stop dunking in and befouling the horse water.
It is outside the pasture fence, and they understand and use it for bathing, leaving the horse water alone.
When the bath water gets low, they come over and circle us to ask for a fill up.
They are quite intelligent and desire to be clean. We have never noticed an unpleasant odor - most likely due to bathing.
Piling on to Turkey Vultures. Not a great shot by any stretch, but I loved the gathering. There were a lot more than this...this is in the town of Salida, Colorado. Unfortunately, this tree has been since cut down - people don't tend to like gatherings of vultures on their property - and they've had to move elsewhere.
I guess we're different- being secluded on 80 acres, we don't have to worry about others not liking them.
Thanks for the shot , we turkey vulture lovers have to stick together.
Showing some love to the Common Grackle as they don't get photograph all that often.
