HUMAN BEING vs BEING BEE
Bee
The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them”
Saint Francis de Sales
Human Being
Somewhere I read humans are the real threat to life on earth and soon going to disappear themselves since they can’t save themselves.
“My world, my Earth is a ruin.
A planet spoiled by the human species.
We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died.
We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves.
But we destroyed the world first”
Ursula K.Le Guin
We are experts in giving convenient definitions!
“I don’t understand why when we destroy something created by man we call it vandalism, but when we destroy something by nature we call it progress”

WATER DROPLET
I guess the character in the water droplet is Ben Tennyson of Ben 10- Alien Force, an animated TV series.

Agreed, for the apparently smartest known species in the universe, collectively we are pretty stupid! You would think by now we would have learnt to share and get along with one another but we let greed and fear rule and divide us. Lovely flower images 🙂

Agree 100% my friend.
And people talk in terms of preserving identity…and the net result is one is superior and the other is inferior and with this mind set…. resulting in never ending fight, misunderstanding even self destruction.
And thank you for your encouraging words about the images.
I am not a professional photographer.

I haven’t had a huge look at your blog .. yet, but from what I’ve seen, you have a keen eye and good skills! I’ve only recently photographed two weddings, for me confidence is the biggest hurdle! I don’t think I will ever stop learning new things 🙂

It was a challenge but I ended up with 50 good shots and the couple were very happy. I also learnt some more 😀

That’s truly satisfying.
Most important part of the exercise was, the couples were happy.
And for you- a confidence in the making!
