I took this macro photo while kayaking out on Lake Raven. I am always amazed by the water repellancy of lily pads. The water beads right up on them.

Southern Leopard Frog

I was cruising down a rural road at night at about 10 m.p.h., and I notice this frog hopping about two feet into the air down the road. I could not help but stop, and shoot a macro photo of it. This frog was quite kind to just sit there and stare back at me, while I put a camera in his face. Perhaps the flash blinded him. You must click on the photo to really appreciate the clarity.

My Momma
A free verse poem dedicated to animals
My momma loves me.
My momma cares for me.
My momma feeds me.
My momma doesn’t diet.
My momma doesn’t need drugs.
My momma isn’t fashionable.
My momma doesn’t need electronics.
My momma knows where I am.
My momma’s family is close by.
My momma says that perhaps
Mankind can learn from her,
and all the other animals, because
The only things she fears is them.
The destruction they cause in
The environment and the world.
My momma says mankind is supposed
To be higher order thinkers, but
The animals seem to be smarter.
My momma says that mankind is suffering
because of their choices.
If only mankind could learn from
My momma.

Lunch Break – A Tanka
Break room here I come.
Reaching in the fridge for lunch,
Warming my food.
Thirty minutes. Eat quick!
Head back to finish the day.
