MARVEL ACTION FIGURES, COLLECTIBLES AND COSTUMES

A spider web is a true marvel of nature. The animals connect several widely spaced points with thin, elastic silk threads.
The flying thread that results from this procedure consists of a bundle of 50 to 60 individual threads, each of which is just 250 nanometers thick. That's 200 times thinner than a human hair. Due to its special structure, even a small gust of wind is enough to set the flying thread in motion. With the first movements, the spider releases more and more thread from its spinnerets, until the flying thread gets stuck somewhere. However, a spider cannot influence the direction in which the flying thread is carried, it depends solely on the wind direction.
The spider proceeds systematically and routinely when setting up the entire orb network. The construction of a new cycle network takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the size. The flying thread of a horned garden spider can be up to 50 centimeters long. Since spiders are mostly loners and cannibalistic catch and eat their own kind, they are usually careful not to get in the way of other webs and spiders when stretching a new web.However, there are exceptions, such as what is probably the largest spider web in the world discovered by researchers in September 2018. It wasn't a single one, but a 300-meter stretch of coast in the Greek lagoon city of Etolikos was completely enshrouded in spider webs. A large number of favorable conditions had prompted the so-called Strecker spiders to create this unusual web network.
By the way: Researchers discovered what is probably the largest web ever made by a spider in Madagascar in 2009. Caerostris darwini ("Darwin's bark spider"), which is only 20 millimeters in size, builds webs that reach across rivers. The bridge thread can reach a length of up to 25 meters.

This was a bit of a side trip that we shot on our way to Proxy Falls. Sadly, Proxy was closed because there was a fire nearby. I had been wanting to visit here with a camera for a long time. I love the tunnel effect you get here. Just a simple river image, but fun nonetheless. Let me know what you think.

Merci et à bientôt.
So you thought I wasn’t gonna show up just because it’s 2026?
Aww, sweetie… that’s adorable.
And yeah yeah, I KNOW I’m not the real holy dude but NOTHING keeps Marvel’s discount Jesus from making an entrance
Tell me this isn’t at least “divine cosplay with benefits.”
No, I’m not dead in case you're wondering...
These gates are just cheap knockoffs from a theme park clearance sale just like my halo.
So this Easter, remember to keep love in your heart. The same way I keep Hugh Jackman and myself trapped together in this friendship locket like two emotionally constipated soulmates.
❤️BFFs forever❤️
Whether he likes it or not.
And kids…
devour all the chocolate you can find.
Become the cocoa‑powered chaos gremlin destiny intended.
Just, uh… avoid the whole “digestive disaster” thing.
Nobody wants an Easter that turns into a literal… well… you get it (rhymes with shisthow).
And finally:
Hugs, not drugs.
Unless the drug is chocolate. Or caffeine. Or the soft warmth of a bunny you definitely didn’t steal from a petting zoo.

I discovered the other day that this team exist and I looked further into it. The concept is fascinating, as each member represents a certain group of people. Iron Man reps the normal humans, Dr Strange reps the mystic humans, Mr Fantastic reps meta-humans, Prof X reps mutants, Black Bolt reps Inhumans, and Namor reps anti-heroes. I thought it was cool, so I made them.

Not sure how the Swanson Schoolhouse has managed to survive. I've visited it before, and even peeked inside at it's bird ravaged interior. This time I just gazed at it and marveled at it's fortitude in the grip of loneliness and decay under a canopy of puffy clouds.

Mirabilis jalapa - Marvel of Peru after sunset.
These two flowers are growing side by side on the same plant. This variation in colour of flowers within a plant gave rise to the genus name of this plant "Mirabilis" which means "amazing, wondrous, remarkable". It is also why it was given the common name of Marvel of Peru.
I hadn't noticed flowers with bright red anthers until I took this photo.

▶ Notice that the blossom isn't open. The flower closes during the day, not opening until late afternoon.

▶ "Mirabilis jalapa —the marvel of Peru or four o'clock flower— is native to the dry tropical regions of North, Central, and South America — Mexico, Guatemala, Chile, and Peru— but has been naturalized throughout tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions of the world. In North America, the plant grows in warm, coastal environments, particularly in USDA zones 7–10.
It is a perennial, herbaceous, bushy plant that grows 1 to 2 meters in height, thriving in weedy, ruderal areas. Its flowers can be yellow, red, magenta, pink, or white, or combinations thereof. They open in late afternoon (namely between 4 and 8 o'clock pm, giving rise to one of its common names) and close in the morning, producing a strong, sweet-smelling fragrance. 'Mirabilis' in Latin means wonderful and 'Jalapa' (or 'Xalapa') is the state capital of Veracruz in México."
