If You Care To Look, You Will See




Have you ever noticed a tiny worm at your feet, or spotted a dragon swimming in the distance? My wife's powers of observation never fail to amaze me as she would usually be the first to point me & my 90 - 400mm Panasonic zoom lens in the right direction.

Take for example, the hammerhead worm, or Bipalium kewense, which usually inhabits the moist dark forest floor & feeds on earthworms ! While the dragon in the water turns out to be a giant monitor lizard, looking for his next meal ...
Recently, we took our singing pals along for a few forest rambles, to introduce them to the simple joys of hiking & observing Nature. All this while getting fit & looking cool on the trail, which is why it's our favourite pastime (besides singing & dancing!)
