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,

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” – Henry David Thoreau

The passion flower is a bit lazy. It doesn’t open till about 10 o’clock. Guess it likes to sleep in.
