carniverous plants:












What people perceive as cruelty
is often the matter-of-fact
mechanics of survival on the planet.
Yet humans and other creatures,
sometimes consciously, sometimes impulsively,
neutralize the uglier facts of life
and (as though there were
a Great Benevolence,
a flow more powerful
than the need to eat)
the lion does sit with the lamb.

Strange and interesting plants. If someone doesn't like them that should be their problem, not yours! Not all photos can be sunsets and butterflies, esp. if you want to document the real world!
