What a Bat Might Dream

TLLT, How it started
photo, syncros
I have always been told I have a unique way of seeing the world and have fun weaving stories connecting one part of nature to another.
Through Flickr and its vast collection of photos I have been able to make these connections come to life visually and to gently expand the view of the earth we share. We are so interconnected in shapes and colors, we live on a single floating rock, maybe that's why.
I like to think of the man in Africa and the woman in the US who have come together with others through their pictures to tell one whimsical story. Will they ever meet? Probably not. But in one small space of web they are unexpectedly side by side becoming a part of a visual tale or poem.
This way of seeing the world blend always makes me smile.

"Blog This" I only use Flickr pictures where the blog function is enabled. This means the photographer has allowed their pictures to be used in blogs. I only want to include people who don't mind being brought into a web world like this. I do not just take what I see.

amazing...well done! =D
its amazing what the smallest of things can do in this huge world!
I was walking home to my favorite apartment in Los Angeles a handful of years ago and across the street I saw a woman look down at the ground and then make a sound of disgust as she purposefully kicked at something small on the ground. I crossed the street to investigate and found that what she kicked was a small fruitbat. The bat was still alive but not doing so well after being kicked by this strange woman. I wanted to run after her and kick her since according to her it's okay to kick strange living things. I felt a bit like a cop who has the choice of helping the victim or chasing down the criminal. I stayed with the bat and got some rubber gloves and moved him to a patch of ivy on my patio. He had a strange amount of personality in his eyes for a bat. I wondered what had sent him to the ground outside of my apartment. Had his echo-location device failed him? Did he get attacked by a bird or a cat? He wasn't looking very well there in my gloved hands. I tried to feed him a small insect and a piece of a grape but he seemed to know he was headed for the great cave in the sky. I left him in a comfortable spot on the ivy with the grape and bug offerings and hoped he was just stunned and might regain his strength and take off during the night. When I checked on him in the morning I found that he was dead. I found a box and had a small bat funeral. I apologized to his corpse. I told him that sometimes stupid, ignorant people will kick you when you are down before you can find the helpful ones. I wished him better luck in his next big excursion. Your photo-pairing made that night come back to me. Thank you for reconnecting me with with the memory of my frail little friend.
I couldn't find a way to email you I hope you come back sometime and see this.

I would have done the same thing you did, felt the same things. Thank you for being the kind of person you are.
