This little crab spider fell of a flower, but saved himself by his selfmade lifeline, the spinning rag. How wonderful nature is ;-))
Being too impatient sometimes has it's reward...I couldn't wait for this hibiscus bud to open, just had to capture the beautiful lines of the petal veins and the fresh color.
So, it seems we're all soon to be smug as bugs in a rug.
I'd never heard of SmugBug until I got the announcement.
Who knows where it will lead.
I see we have new little Flickr circles.
For now, they will stay separate, but Flickr will be owned by SmugBug and will be placed on their technological "infrastructure"
Here's a Q and A blog from Flickr for any interested.
I'm staying put. I don't want to lose this community.....my friends.
And It could be a good thing. We'll see.
An activity recognized internationally by the adventurers of the world. Ideal for climbing unexplored lands where you will contemplate nature from another perspective in the heights.

After a 90 meters (295 ft) long Tibetan bridge, I found myself on a small path where the only way out is a vertical wall to climb. This was the third activity: the 90 meters (295 ft) ferrata track. Small metal stairs attached to the rocks allow me to ascend without major problem. Every certain section I had to change the safety harnesses on the steel cable, also called the "lifeline", to which the climber is attached all the time. The height ensures my nerves, calm.
I find these rough trunks, but also the ramifications of the trees so interesting. It's like looking at the human nervous system. Here, everything is just open to touch. You can do that too. Hug trees. Only those who have never tried it before will laugh.
Ich finde diese rauen Stämme, aber auch die Verästelungen der Bäume so interessant. Es ist als schaue man sich das Nervensystem des Menschen an. Hier liegt nur alles frei zum anfassen. Auch das kann man machen. Bäume umarmen. Lachen werden nur die, die es noch nie probiert haben.
lifeline, before and after
in an instant of great white gravity
hold tight, 'cause all is against me
every cell in my body, brace,
and keep breathing

these leaves
as they begin
to die
transform:
cold autumn
rains, northerly
winds, sun fading
at the horizon,
and we,
if we
pass by
these stubborn
hardwoods
might see
clearly

C-GNLW, a Boeing 737-2RC, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as NRL953 (Nolinor Aviation) from Agnico Eagle Mines' Meadowbank gold mine in Nunavut (CMB2) - 1,850 statute miles northwest of Toronto.
Austrian - Bavarian friends in discussion about beard length. 3 years for the right one was the result! A nice scene in a wonderful background panorama. It is unbelievable nice to have friends like them - thinking of life becomes so much different when you live in nature only!
