Twobyfour: Just when you least expect it, Mr. Spud will reappear. Trust me, his saga is not over!

Delightful post. Beautifully composed pictures. I guess sometimes you just have to be open to the idea that great art (and inspiration) is all around you, invisible until you bump in to it. And I dislike spiders tremendously.

I was expecting, “… And now we go live to Mr Spud with an on the scene update!”

No, Tysdaddy, I never saw that footage but I feel damn sorry for it when the launch happened. No silken thread is going to hold up in that furnace!

Did you ever see the footage, caught by some security camera, of the big spider that looked like it was climbing on the space shuttle as it sat waiting for launch day? That was amazing! But not nearly as gorgeous as your shot . . . so many elements coming together in one amazing snap.

And I just love the word “akimbo.” I have to find a way to use it in my next post . . .

Amber! So true, just like asking a Brit if they know the queen. Hell, I’m going to ask anyway, do you? Blessings to you and Mom.

Charlotte is with me and at the moment she is playing with my pet fly torturing the poor thing… she sends love though!

What a neat picture! What a beautiful shot at twilight. Mr. Spider is definately a brave one. I wonder if he hangs with Charlotte? I wonder if they talk about poetry and life and about strange humans with potato companions? Definately a wonder.

Maybe thinking he knows Charlotte is kinda like asking we Brits is we know the queen? Or someone from the UK asking an American – I have a cousin 3rd removed that lives in (name obscure place of your choice) do you know them?

Hmmm its a wonder.

Razzman, your eye would probably seen what mine did and the spider would have told you a story about his grandfather’s days in Vietnam spinning webs next to colorful homes and bombs exploding. We all lament things, Razz. Your eye, should not be one of them.

Just think of all the money that would’ve been saved if NASA had known about this technology years ago ;-)

You really do have a good eye.

I think that if I had have seen the same scene I would’ve only seen the spider and missed the connection to the moon.

It makes me think about all the other subtle stuff I miss.

O, boy! Potato Head has now mastered the comment section. Fasten your seatbelts, people. This is a man who knows his pharmaceuticals. But, pesticides? This is new.
As always, he makes me laugh out flippin’ loud.

Bonnieluria, I want to hug your knees. There. I’ve said it.

Sanity, girl–you, like the sun, keep coming up, day after day. I am lucky for this gift.
