This was quite a photographic (or photo-relevant!) week in my blog! away from philosophy, psychoanalysis and indeed Literature! The last two posts, and now this astoundingly eye-catching timelapse.
I like the night-take with a clear sky and visible constellations at the center; who knows maybe aliens are making a timelapse of us as well, even at the same time!!!

Survival! - It was a long block, and this little fragile fellow seemed so sturdy in holding to its defense, not wanting to lose the game of survival!

To my beloved wife, without whose support I could not have anything!

I thought my Nikon D80 shots need a little bit of diversity and improvisation, which I could maintain by posting couple of non-macro shots.
Well, here we go; a stunning cat gazing at my lens while showing off its marvelous green eyes and black skin. A skin which harmonized an astonishing contrast with the animal’s background to shoot.
Who knows what it was thinking about when I was clicking my shutter dozens of times in order to reach an acceptable doze of wild-cat-o-graphy!!!
Iguana is a genus of lizard native to tropical areas of Central and South America and the Caribbean first described by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in his book Specimen Medicum, Exhibens Synopsin Reptilium Emendatam cum Experimentis circa Venena in 1768. The genus Iguana includes two species: the green iguana (a popular pet) and the lesser Antillean iguana.
The word “Iguana” is derived from a Spanish form of the original Taino name for the species “Iwana”.
The two species of lizard within the genus Iguana possess a dewlap, a row of spines running down their back to their tail, and a third eye on their head. This eye is known as the parietal eye, which looks just like a pale scale on the top of their head. Behind their neck are small scales which resemble spikes, known as tuberculate scales. They also have a large round scale on their cheek known as a subtympanic shield.
Iguanas have excellent vision and are able to see shapes, shadows, color and movement at long distances. Iguanas use their eyes to navigate through crowded forests, as well as for finding food. They also use visual signals to communicate with members of the same species.
They respond to visual stimulus of colors such as orange and yellow as food substances.
An iguana’s ear is known as the tympanum. It is the iguana’s ear drum, and is located right above the subtympanic shield and behind the eye. This is a very thin and delicate part of the iguana, and crucial to their hearing.

A Dragonfly
Your delicate wings rapidly beat the air
The sleekness of your weightless body hovers
Curiously observing as though you care
Steadily searching for lifelong endeavors
Do you bring a message of a tranquil destiny?
Does your evolving maturity convey wisdom?
If I follow, will I find harmony or perplexity?
As you disappear… I am serenely lonesome
