“As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.” – Franz Kafka

The quote is not particularly inspirational – just one of my favorites. I’m not sure what bug this is, but I believe it to be one of my tormentors.

The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place, from the sky, from the eartch, from a scrape of paper, from a spider’s web.” – Pablo Picasso

My spider inspired me to start a new feature – Creepy Friday! This will feature bugs and reptiles and other crawling and perhaps even flying things on my morning post. But probably not my beautiful dragonflies or butterflies.

And don’t forget Bird Monday and Wildflower Wednesday,

Tight Crop White top sedge.

This is a new to me interesting flower. The flower is actually the tiny blooms in the center. The leaves turn white much like a poinsettia.  And as always in the ecosystem there are spider webs and a tiny beetle like creature in residence. (see tight crop.)
