THE EYES HAVE IT

'The Eyes are the windows of the soul';

How often have we heard that said.

And certainly we see a soul

In the eyes of a quadruped.

The eye of a snake may blink

But it's still expressionless;

But the eye of a chimpanzee

Is like ours, in that it can express

Every emotion we feel.....

From fear to mirth to hate;

When we look in the eye of a monkey

We can communicate.

The mind of an animal still

Is almost a closed book,

But what is really certain

Is that an eye does more than look.

Who could think of harming

'Little brother' in the shot above?

If only all animals could look at us

And express a mutual love.

STORM APPROACHING SYDNEY.

Feelers! Feeling the sky ahead.
Tendrilling out to touch the unblemished blue.
Testing the water for the coming storm.
