"Did you know that flying fish sometimes fly with seagulls? That Moon Dogs sometimes hunt on Earth? That grasshoppers have been on the planet for 350 million years? That assassin bugs carry switchblades? That clumps of jellyfish can fly? That demons live among us? That the Flash and his wife zip through the area? Do you know how to tell fact from exaggeration from falsehood?

This book contains some of Calvin Hight Allen's favorite photographs with whimsical captions. The photographs, taken by the author and some of his friends in the ""Old Men with Cameras"" photo club, are as unique as they are stunning; the captions, as penetrating as they are clever. They cover an amazing variety of subjects from local barns to far-flung galaxies. Wide-ranging in imagination and steeped in erudition, the captions sparkle with sometimes ironic, iconoclastic, irreverent, and unconventional humor interspersed with tenderness, empathy, and appreciation in capturing the essence of human nature."
