"No frills,Just refill" With some social innovations to the way we purchase milk at our local supermarket we could cut back the carbon emissions of plastic bottle production and transport miles. Introducing a self-service milk station that brings back glass bottles that are 100% reusable and recyclable into supermarkets.
During our walk through the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, we spotted an orb-weaver spider in its web.
Not every photo of writing spiders centred upon conspicuous, decorative webs on the periphery of the floras around the building that I take actually gets published. The more photographs I stocked of the writing spiders, the less fascinated I got about them. The fact that they are the most common species in the surrounding contributed to my gradual disenchantment towards them. The maxim 'familiarity breeds contempt' proves true for all animate things and inanimate alike. We tend to take things and people for granted after we get accustomed to them. There is often a misconception that we already know everything there is to know about them, and that is when the disinterest sets in.
No matter how rampant they are, the probability of spotting a writing spider on a completed web is however low; average of one per month. The effort and time the fairly small spiders put into the development of their wonder web might give account to the statistic. And this causes them to be perceived to be as scarce as the smaller camouflaging crab spiders and lowlight-hunting lynx spiders resident in the common habitat.‎
I was eager to show off the first writing spider. It was an exciting find. I had never seen a web as decorated before. ‎The following observation which was slightly different in colouring was also shared, in sequence to the first. Subsequent sightings in the environment were no different from the originals. I am inclined to ignore new observations if there are no peculiar features found on them. Others I do not completely ignore, I use to warm my camera by exploring new perspectives and practising better focus. Good images taken are retained for a while in my device or camera memory. They get reviewed regularly. Some get deleted after a while.
Above is a photo of the most recent writing spider. Its glorified web was suspended over a depression in a hedge next to a walk way. ‎The next few days witnessed an unusual but progressive transformation of the web of this particular specimen. A probable explanation for this is a consistent and creative attempt by the spider to make a normally short-lived we‎b last longer. As parts of the web fail, the spider reinforces the underlying foundation threads. This action invariably leads to formation of a new or different web design every time. Now the evolution of the patterns or design over time is a thing of interest. Could web patterns resembling certain alphabets be an indication of a smart web-weaver? Or perhaps a mathematically-inclined arachnid, since the characters are popular algebraic cliches?In any case, here is a challenge posed by an insect. A riddle. A picture puzzle. It is a reminder of one of such general mathematics problems with the unforgettable appendage delivering the urgent request 'find x'. Once again, we find x. And why too.

I'm missing summer days right about now. This was taken this past summer at a plant nursery in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Oh what a tangled Web we weave
When first we (cross)dress with ease
We put on hose, and high-heeled shoes
padding and wigs and makeup we use.
We look like women, those who try to pass
We get quizzical looks, and some will ask
What are you doing? Why is it this that you do?
Some of us know. Some don't have a clue.

I took Jimmy for a walk at his favorite trails for the first time since his surgery. It's been unusually warm for this time of year the last week or so. We're enjoying every minute of it :)
We Drove through Ritzville, WA today and were enthralled by this old mess. Ritzville is a pretty shabby little town with a lot of shabby places to photograph. We only had a few minuets to take this picture. It is "Webers Repair". There's a lot of weight bearing down on those two pillars, and visually is looks like a major hazard. That thing is going to come down one of these days and hopefully no one will be under it when it does!
