Nature Through the Lens and Inquisitive Mind

Nature Through the Lens
and Inquisitive Mind
 Living with Nature Center 
San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

Photos and Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts." –Rachel Carson

                                                    Relaxing by the Waterfall

"Make believe scene of waterfall
lulls both feline and country lass;
what better way to spend summer
           than just let the world and time pass." 

 
Papilio Butterfly

"Take the backseat Papillon movie;
this is a true love story
between a Nature's emissary
and a beautiful lady." 

A brood of Tussock Moth caterpillars

"One is rare, different from the rest,
incipient mutation at best;
it's Nature's error or intention,
vital key to evolution." 

A couple of Luna Moth

"To all creatures, big or small,
Nature in love is universal,
reason and purpose of living,
   short of being immortal." 

 
Cotton Stainer

"Obnoxious pest in the cotton field,
         you stain the lint and reduce yield;
you don't deserve your seeming good look,
colorful in life and in the book.

  
 Rhinoceros Beetle Grubs

"I finally found your nesting ground.
after killing my coconut trees;
now I will turn the table around,
and give you to the hungry beasts." 

 
Twin and Triple Banana

"Old folks say, you bet,
you'll bear twin,
three-in-one, have triplet,
go, buy and win." 

 
Karamay in Summer

"Acid fruit, yet you need vinegar,
a dash of salt, and tinge of summer,
the quaintness of country life, winking,
 wishing karamay is forever." 
 
Brooding Hen outdoor

"Brooding needs warmth and love,
from mother and Above." 

A Family of Ducks

"Black and white, makes gray, 
Mendel's law didn't say;
both are here to stay,
in unique array." ~
