Thanks for the few but very encouraging comments we received about our arty offerings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, without wanting to milk the cow dry, I’m going to publish one more batch of Gekko Art before moving on to something else. Hope you like it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goshawk, by Adam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Goshawk is mean. You wouldn’t want to be that poor pigeon held captive under its claws looking up into that cruel orange eye as the beast plucks your feathers without a smear of pity for you in your death throes … but that’s nature too folks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lammergeier, by Jan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The original didn’t quite manage to get the whole bird in the frame, a fact which was scoffed at by other bird photographers, in part motivated by their jealousy of the photographer’s commercial success I daresay. I was a direct witness to that. On a different note there’s beauty all over the Lammergeier, and I don’t think that you need to see the wing tips to know that they are there, so I zoomed in on the bird even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it a coincidence that this, a work with flowers and not birds, is Florinda’s favourite? I like it too, mind you, as I fancifully imagine that it takes me closer to another being’s vision: perhaps that of an insect? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me you want to see more, and I’ll keep them coming! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
