Naturalist's World - Dr Abe V Rotor

Nature's profile is rich and dynamic. It enraptures us, brings reminiscences of childhood, and re-creates the images of the Lost Paradise. It offers refuge from urban living, and recess from daily grind. It also tells us of what we are missing, or what we are going to miss, perhaps forever. The magnificent profile of nature reminds us to do our part to save Mother Earth so that her beauty and bounty are preserved and enjoyed by us and future generations. - Abercio Valdez Rotor, Ph.D.

Bathed in sunset and neon lights,

weaving silhouettes in the dark -

I wonder if trees ever go to sleep

with some poor souls in the park?
