The bumblebee cichlid is a fish that lives in deep caves and cleans parasites off the cat fish,when it is in a yellow and brown striped coloration, when the cat fish spawns and lays eggs this little fish changes to a dark brown and steels the cat fishs eggs. when he is cought he quickly changes color back to the yellow and brown stripes as the cat fish reconizes this color as the friend.

Tonight
I went to take the dogs out before bed.. I live very rural.. and the sights and sounds were amazing..I cant even try to explain what a glorious night it is.

I love to watch the snow flakes from my dinning room picture window! The Magical snow touches deeply within my soul of God's grandeur!
After The Rain
The ground lies damp Beneath the overcast sky of empathy My eyes discover the relaxed view Nature is quiet and blessed with serenity Mustang 66 sound of tires grip the road Destination is just to a little store Where one can buy Apples of re

Lightning
The lightning cleft the sky apart turning momentarily night to day. Enormous forks cleaving the heavens whilst sheets scatter the clouds. Uprooting trees as it strikes and setting some on fire to blaze away. While animals and birds cower tu

SUMMER FLAME
I was missing NZ Christmas trees, the pohutokawas in bloom this time of the year...then I remembered Ponciana trees are everywhere here.. like pohutokawa trees they also herald the coming of the new year...I wrote this last night and as I am posting it now I checked if I have the spelling right...to my surprise I found a song about the tree... written long before I was born. It just shows how easily these trees can captivate an admiring soul...
