Nature's Trophy
Cryptic* Image of a Yelping Puppy
Dr Abe V Rotor
"I can see your voice," is true;
a happy puppy in my childhood,
sweet memory comes alive,
virtually real in any view." - avr
Howling Puppy from a dead stump of talisay (Terminalia catappa), made into a piece of art as seen against a wall mural of nature, both made by the author. On display at the Living with Nature Center, San Vicente Botanical Garden, San Vicente Ilocos Sur 2020
Front view of the icon shows stubs of appendages; back view reveals hollowed body, a good resonator for a speaker.
*Cryptobiology is the study of cryptids, creatures around which myths exist but whose current existence has never been verified. Some famous cryptids include bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster and the legendary dragon. Cryptid plants (cryptobotany) include man-eating plants, exaggerated versions of real specimens like the pitcher plant (Sarracenia) and sundew (Drosera). Cryptids are unsubstantiated images, products of the imagination, such as this howling puppy, which brings joy and sweet memories instead of fear and anxiety. ~
