YESTERDAY'S MORNING WALK AND "WILD" HORSES AT KALEDEN.

 Yesterday we had sunny and 30C.  Today it has been raining nearly all day and a high of 15C.  Our creek is rising rapidly and is a yucky colour.  We also had a nice visit this morning from Aileen's cousin Lorene and Tony from Victoria who were in the area to celebrate a friend's birthday.

Hawthorn flowers, note the thorn!

Larkspur with spiderweb.

Wild Phlox.

Balsamroot.

Shrubby Penstemon on the cliffs across the river.

Horses on reserve land at Kaleden.  This horses are generally classified as wild.  Other than being fenced from the highway they don't seem to be managed in any way.  They become a danger to humans when they manage to get on the highway either by finding a hole in the fence or has happened recently, someone cutting the fence.  The resulting collision with vehicles is not pretty!
