Todos os anos elas chegam lentamente. Vão aos poucos povoando o Parque Ecológico de Campinas.Nesta captura consegui o momento em que uma delas carregava um galho para construir o ninho.

The black kitties are not her babies. She's taking care of them till their mom comes back.

ARRANGEMENTS

To weigh

a ball proves nothing

about the colour.

You look at

a ruler

and you hear

a piano.

While counting

eleven

sparrows their

rhythm escapes.

A dash

the length of

a now older

child.

Arranging flowers

by colour?

Their size

will be lost.

There she goes and

she isn’t being

photographed

by anyone.

Nurseries get ready ... its still cool over night... not yet proper planting time for delicate summer plants...

A close up look at a Mother of Thousands plant. Each of those little buds will make a new plant when they drop off.

Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.

The nursery is a paddock usually reserved for calves that are being weaned from their mothers. This takes place very early so that the mother can continue to provide milk for the farm. The calves proceed to heifers (young females who have not been mated) and then enter the milking stream once they produce a calf.

These beautiful inquisitive calves were enjoying the summer sun and refreshing themselves on the rich grass and water from the stream.

Outside

The sky is feeling old-fashioned

in its birthday blue

and is dressing in grey, clouding

the trees who are yet to tell

what weird dance

the wind is trying to choreograph,

while the sun, playing hide and seek

with the world’s shadows,

is unsure if it should hide

in the little space of mind

between the familiar

and the unknown

something like the sky

failing to decide whether to send rains

or sunshine

or just vanish

and leave the world roofless

reflects our unknown

boundaries

looking outside

I feel I’m just what it is

the sky in a quandary

The spinach plot is one of the optimum places in the garden for getting insect and arachnid photo opportunities. The denseness of the leafage gives these creatures every chance to escape and hide if necessary. The leaves are also angled perfectly for sunbathing sessions at all times of the day. This nursery web spider was taking full advantage of the lovely sunny afternoon.
