Trapped and no way out. That's today's Harris voters -- resigned and not fuming -- kind of How the Hell did we get here? Only one tiny positive out-take, the bear will have good healthcare...

It is interesting to see what people read, or read into, a photo. Thanks for your take on them.

Art opens that opportunity to the viewer. Thank you for sharing your paired images. I also wonder about how you make your decisions to capture the images and how you select your pairing.

Sometimes a pairing comes complete to my mind. Most times I start with an image and then go down a long trail. All my 60,000+ image have tags, so I can search for, say, street vendor, or spider, or fear.

Wow, this is really fabulous, Terry. Says volumes, not just about species' shared experiences, but also about the experience itself of being embodied, thinking, and being.
