Reverse Identity Crisis

Posted on by

My camera sees it, but my knowledge base cannot identify it.

Is it a condor, vulture, or something else?

I’m having a reverse identity crisis.

That’s when you know who you are, but are baffled by someone else’s identity.

Unique is Okay

Posted on by

It’s fun to capture something unique.

This duck doesn’t have an orange beak like most ducks.

Why are we critical of those who don’t look like us?

How boring this world would be to a photographer if everyone looked alike.

Butterfly Battle

Posted on by

My camera found a surprise.

It was a butterfly that appeared to have been in a battle.

That’s not something that had occurred to me.

To me, we’re beautiful, even with our imperfections.

Shavasana

Even those who are high-strung need time to melt away stress.

I captured a cheetah demonstrating what seemed liked a yoga pose called Shavasana.

Have you tried it?

Sandhill Crane

Posted on by

In some U.S. states, it’s unusual to see a crane.

It was nice to get photographic proof that I did see a Sandhill Crane in Missouri.

It was about 4-feet tall.

The internet told me it weighs about 10 pounds and has a wingspan of nearly 7-feet.

Slip Slidin’ Away

Posted on by

As I took this photo, the Paul Simon lyrics, “Slip Slidin’ Away” popped into my head. 

God only knows. God makes His plans. 

The information’s unavailable to the mortal man.

We work our job. Collect our pay. 

Believe we’re gliding down the highway. 

When in fact we’re slip slidin’ away.
