The Land of Melting Shadows: Spider Alert!!!

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

Wendy S. said...: This photo reminds me of the commercial for a cell phone with the image of a spider on it which freaks out two people sitting at the lunch table and they smash the phone because they think it's real...I don't have arachnophobia but I would rather not run into one of these. Great photo though..; July 12, 2011 at 10:39 AM

Jeanne said...: Suzie, Not sure what kind of spider this is. She's been living by my kitchen window sill. She was about 3/4 inch long when I took the picture. My camera is a Canon Powershot SD1300IS ~ 12.1 megapixels wit h a 4x wide angle zoom. Hubby took my old one (a more primitive version of this one) with him. I'm really enjoying it.; July 12, 2011 at 2:46 PM
The Artful Gypsy aka Wendy the Very Good Witch said...: Ick! Okay...no thank you on the invite to enlarge that wretched beast you've photographed there. But the camera does take some nice shots. Now I think you need to concentrate on shooting things that aren't so CREEPY!!!! ;o); July 12, 2011 at 4:25 PM
