I just found this to be eye catching. The hardship of living in a drought. South West Queensland.

John Milton once wrote, “Loneliness is the first thing which God’s eye named, not good.” This lone chickadee on a limb seems to be a fitting companion to Milton’s quote. I dedicate the image to everyone experiencing loneliness with a prayer that they will find respite from this intense kind of suffering.
The sculptural forms of trees never cease to amaze me. I often see anthropomorphic images before I shoot the photograph. I was impressed by / the beauty of the human form as reflected in this tree. Anatomical features / are displayed in an abstract image among a grouping of tree limbs. The body of a man is revealed in a curvilinear form central to the tree’s structure. I suggest that you view my photos using the large format to get the full impact of the image.

The first men and women who traveled in space — in the 1960s — depended on the sacrifices of other animals that gave their lives for the advancement of human knowledge about the conditions in outer space. On September 20, 1951— the U.S. Air Force launched the first animal flight near space that ended with a live occupant. The nosecone on the Aerobee rocket carried a monkey named Yorick and 11 mice to a height of 45 miles. Space is said to began at 50 miles. When the animals were recovered alive, it went down in the record book as the first successful flight near space for living creatures.
