Itsy Bitsy

 

Welcome home!

 

 

 

I've been waiting forever it seems

 

 

 

Right here so you could see me when you unlocked the door

 

 

 

 

The beetles and flies at the sight of him fled,

And even the birds were afraid.

He had two great nippers, and eight wicked eyes;

How he ran and what leaps he made !

 

 

I and all who lived in the garden knew

That terrible spider's lair,

And told their little ones, under their breath:

'O never, O never go there!'

 

 

~ Passage from 'Spider and Wasp' by A. Vine Hall ~

 

 

 

 



Yellow extra photochallenge

 

Un soleil, une lumière que faute de mieux, je ne puis appeler que jaune, jaune soufre pâle, citron pâle or...

Que c'est beau le jaune!'

~ Vincent Van Gogh ~

(A sun, a light that for lack of anything better, I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden lemon... How lovely yellow is!)



This week's assignment on The Daily Post is to  'share a photo that has a little something extra'

The Yellow Hawkweed is beautiful on its own, but this little hoverfly proves that nature holds different shades of one colour.

 

 

A Rout of Snails

“The snail leaves its trail wherever it goes”

(African proverb)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Will you walk a little faster?” said the whiting to a snail,

“There's a porpoise close behind us and he's treading on my tail.”

(Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland)



 

Welcome to the small world
