Taken on Bohol in December of 2017
Tarsiers may be the product of a five-way orgy between an owl (eyes), a bat (ears), a frog (hands), a rat (tail), and a monkey (body), but they’re still pretty cute.

POEM: Elephantine
That mammal stands a mile tall.
Far too proud to take a fall.
It lumbers on til days end,
nudging family round the bend.
Water hole. Day’s close. Circled up.
In the center stands a pup.
On infirm legs, the youth shakes
as adults stomp and earth quakes.
Predators stalk, but today’s odds
favor the prey and defy the gods.

POEM: Bird’s Life Haiku
hawk’s spiral swoop
snatches a sack skyward
morsels spilling
crow tugs rat carcass
like a combat comrade
cursing pal’s flab
Maribu meeting
looks formal: coat and tie
civil as Congress
