FLORA & FAUNA - In Gondwanaland
Code: re94-03
THE
STORY:
My initial thoughts were inspired by the colors of the Kangaroo Paw photographed in bright sunlight against a dark back ground. The images were captured in West Australia (Gondwanaland Land - in Australian Aboriginal mythology) of which the Kangaroo Paw is a State emblem. The Silver Eye (or wax eye, Aboriginal names for the bird include Jule-we-de-lung or Julwidilang from the Perth area) was added to give more visual appeal with color after I had seen one on a fire plant. The motivation, again, was to get a photo realistic appeal in the vibrant colors and shallow depth of field reflecting one of life's gorgeous moments that passes us by if we are to busy or not encouraged to see.
The wonder in this moment for me was observing a Silver Eye searching out its favored food, insects and nectar. In high and late summer when these are scarce, it's staple diet becomes fruit, leaving many a ripe fruit lover frustrated at the remains of mangled ripe fruit in the coveted trees offerings.
For sure, I marvel continuously at the beauty, sciences, biology's, laws of gravity and aerodynamics etc that are all around me revealing the wonderful master mind of a Divine hand making all this possible. To believe less than that, for me leaves an ungrateful and confused ill feeling of emptiness and death in my heart. There is great joy in knowing and thanking the one who made all this possible and, to be privileged to see is one of the wonders He has promissed to all those who chose to be take Him at His word. Much is beyond my comprehension but, His love and creativity is not.
May you marvel at this as I do.
