Each week we will publish our "Photo of the Week" and release a story which either describes how it was taken or a story inspired by it. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as the indulgence we feel sharing them.

Water Monitor


Diminutive he might be but his stoicism is that of a giant.  Examine his countenance and you will find the steel and determination of countless generations before him.
His is a volatile world.  At his size, predators still threaten on a regular basis.  Competition is rife for food.  And then there is the stress brought by the clumsy trampling of ignorant humans.
As he stares back through the lens at men, I understand that he is more curious than cautious.  He knows, from me, he has nothing to fear.
