spider

Have you ever watched a spider get around…on a tiled surface? It’s especially beautiful.

Watching the legs move so fast…eight of them just scrimmaging….for something but you don’t know where or why and what there is that’s so interesting to its sight and other senses that it seems SO excited to make it … somewhere.

Brown and small not so big and bulky but stout and simple. Those daddy longlegs never did it for me, these just look odd. cool to look at while there, standing not doing anything. Still. i mean come on…imagine that, running around with those long appendages, trying to get by everywhere…you’d be so fragile and imagine trying to runaway from your prey…say a cheetah or a bear or crocodile for that matter. Oouuh!

Running like mad is what Madelaine, my little four year old cousin was doing tonight before going to bed. I especially enjoy hearing her make night noises before she falls asleep. Sometimes I think she’s in there for hours playing on her own before she actually tries to rest her head. It’s cute. Definitely a place for her imagination to soar… just before dreaming, how perfect!
