Lookout- Look, See, Pray

June 27, 2024

This one was “Lookout” for the afternoon. Taking their duty seriously, the lookouts guard against predators. Birds of prey fancy a lemur-snack, a passing feline will happily gnash another: so the guards must stay alert. … More Lookout- Look, See, Pray

Who Is Winning? Look, See, Pray

May 23, 2024

Our “short” history is full of pain and struggle; the interminable conflict of the war for our soul forces us to cry out for help. “How long, O Lord?” we scream at the heavens. Who is winning? … More Who Is Winning? Look, See, Pray

Problem Solved- Look, See, Pray

May 9, 2024

To me, the duck is striking a pose like Batman about to launch… or the Ghost Busters facing another grim ghoul with ramshackle “inventions.” Duck-Busters! Will this catch on?

Life in Miniature- Look, See, Pray

May 2, 2024

It looks like a Death Ray from a fancy sci-fy movie… “Revenge of the Beastly Borage.” A tiny flower, the first of the hairy cluster to shine forth in brilliant blue with the purple centrepiece, this borage was photographed at 1/40th sec, at f8. A tiny fraction of a second, a small aperture in the … More Life in Miniature- Look, See, Pray
