Eyes

"The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than imagination awake."

My pupils were dilated to see the trail under the moon. Dark moving figures, near or far, tall or short, were coming toward or going away from me. The darkness was saturated, and people kept silent. I could not hear the babblers chirping.

Only the raindrop was willing to tell layers of story through its startling bright eye, but I had the feeling those were related to a reptile. The forked tongues were hidden, though not completely.

My pupils started to contract when the moon had disappeared. There were actually more to see. And I always saw Dusky Leaf Monkey stayed very quiet atop some trees. Very tame, yet so very confused.

It must have awaken fully.

    That is a fantastic shot of the monkey. Seriously, it's great and I'm jealous. :)

    You walk there at night? Not dangerous ar especially the slithering forked tongue thing! Eyes following you in the dark...scary! The cute little monkey I dont mind, always encounter its relation in my morning walk too.

    That little monkey is the cutest thing, rainfield. How big is he, actually? I would be so timid out there on a night tril with creepy crawlies, moon or no moon, especially by myself.

    This was sure a treat!! I could enlarge everyone! Your right, I think they leave impressions we're not always aware of? Your moon puts mine to shame..but it's still counts I suppose (ha ha). Somehow you manage to get quite the expressions! Very enjoyable-

    each one of them is unique and very well taken, the monkey however is something not everyone of us can shoot any day, unless we go to the zoo :(

    you are so clever to capture that water droplet. I have yet to do it.

    What do you mean it was not so complicated 20 years ago? You became a Kiwi?

    The monkey looks like he was hypnotized, perhaps it was the moon.
