  • A kid in goa was desperately trying to break open a coconut and he would’nt let me help him. He used his teeth, his feet, a wall and even his push bike to try and break it open. This photo represents being stubborn and persistent and the flight those two wings can embark on…

  • 10×14 watercolor enhanced colored pencil. Original available. The Fishing Cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized cat whose habitat range extends through Indochina, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Sumatra and Java. Its fur has an olive-grey color and dark spots roughly arranged in longitudinal stripes. The face has a distinctly flat-nosed appearance. The size is variable; while in India it is 80 cm, or 32 in, (and 30 cm, 12 in, tail), in Indonesia, it is only 65 cm, or 26 in, (25 cm, 10 in, tall). Indian individuals usually range up to 11.7 kg (26 lbs), while in Indonesia common weights are approximately 6 kg (13 lbs). They are stocky of build with medium short legs, and a short muscular tail of one half to one third of their head and body length. Like its closest relative, the Leopard Cat, the Fishing Cat lives along rivers, brooks and mangrove swamps. It is perhaps better adapted to this habitat, since it swims often and skillfully. As the name implies, fish is the main prey of this cat, of which it hunts about 10 different species. It also hunts other aquatic animals such as frogs or crayfish, and terrestrial animals such as rodents and birds. The inter-digital webs on its paws help the cat gain better traction in muddy environments and water, like other mammals in semi-aquatic environments. Captive fishing cats can be seen at 22 different North American institutions. By December 2005, there were 72 fishing cats in these institutions. The largest captive group in North America, 15 cats, is found at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York. (info from Wikipedia) Complete 2008

  • A blossoming rose bush I was offered for valentine, and that keeps thriving and thriving…

  • Persistence pays off so they say, and in this case it surely applied. The Great Blue Heron had been fishing for hours and finally flushed out (literally) a fish from beneath a rock. (That’s difficult to say really fast) The look on both faces is priceless (zoom in) as this moment was caught on film. As much as I was saddened by the abrupt ending for the little fish, I also had to applaud the perseverance of this patient Heron. They are the consumate fishermen and this one was such a joy to photograph and film all afternoon here on wild, natural Vancouver Island. 50% of all proceeds from sales goes to Defenders of Wildlife at www.defenders.org. Thanks for viewing my work. :o-)

  • Another photoshop piece; I enjoy combining photos / I am making slow steps (there is much to learn), but I am wallowing in the pleasures of better creative power. This image/concept has been on the brain for sometime

  • slowly / persistently / they rise to attention / called upon by the one force that commands us all / the sun / they reach against odds concrete / they reach against meddling man / they reach toward life undaunted / found atop a brick wall / in the concrete downtown core / this little army will beat us all / with nothing more / than patience. Canon Rebel XT (x-tra Trout… oooooooh YEAH!)

  • keep on growing… / jordan busson. 15 august 2009. add elucidate on: /

  • Past is such that it continuously interferes with our present, sipping thus into our future. / Someone once said that “the past does not equal our future”. This is indeed true only if we choose so, if we free ourselves from the burden of the past, whether that burden feels sweet like honey or like a tear of sorrow. We need to design our future with the innocent and hungry eyes of a child full of great expectations. ...That was the lesson I was given today by my masters. Whether I will truly listen or not it’s all in my act of deliberately choosing my future or continue to being “lived” by my past. We shall see… that’s for sure. 30August, 2009 / —- Pervasiveness and persistence of past was featured in Digital Artists United group on 5 September, 2009.
