The survival of the fittest is the ageless law of nature, but the fittest are rarely the strong. The fittest are those endowed with the qualifications for adaptation, the ability to accept the inevitable and conform to the unavoidable, to harmonize with existing or changing conditions….....

Where’s the water gone There’s a rather sad phenomenon that’s plaguing our great land / And just like the wary gambler it’s about to play it’s hand. / All the signs have been quite evident and round now for a spell / But we’ve fobbed them off, ignored them all, as far as I can tell. From the times of early childhood when my family drove around / All the creeks were full of water and the bores were rather sound, / Sure enough the droughts they came and went but mate, I have to say / that our Nation’s running kind of dry, hard times are on the way. Hey I think we’ve done our dash old son ‘cause what is going on. / All our dams and bores are getting low and where’s the water gone. / We will have to make some changes and mate make them pretty fast, / as the water’s disappearing and it sure as hell won’t last. Though we’ve held bad hands in years gone by we’ve always lived in hope, / that the rains were somewhere in the deck and til then we would cope. / But the evidence is ominous and looking rather bleak / and we’d do well to consider all the havoc it could wreak. We need each and every one of us to play a vital role, / as we’re playing for high stakes here and there’s need for self-control. / All will have to change the lifestyles that they’ve been accustomed to / And we’ll have to play our hands right and seek out an Ace or two. Hey I think we’ve done our dash old son ‘cause what is going on. / All our dams are bores are getting low and where’s the water gone. / We will have to make some changes and mate make them pretty fast, / As the water’s disappearing and it sure as hell won’t last. © Bush Poet and Ballad Writer Merv Webster / ©2008 Globalphotos All rights reserved. / All photographs, text and images by Globalphotos are the exclusive property of Globalphotos – protected under Australian and international copyright laws. / These images may not be reproduced, copied or manipulated without written permission. / No use for Public Domain. / Use of any image for another photographic concept or illustration is a violation of copyright. / Shot taken outback South Australia / 5 layered image

If you run your tongue / across her parched lips / or somewhere below / the curve of her hip / she’ll shudder / under your kiss / liquefy / with a crackle and hiss / But / Before you get too excited, remember this - / Any tongue can turn dry lips to wet / haven’t met a man without one yet / Like drops of water / on leaves of a tree / it’s nothing more than chemistry / that makes a thirsty woman / want a drink *~* / Resources: / Background texture by Parable Visions
