Female Green Lynx Spider With Egg Sac — Image by kenne
The female constructs one to five 2-centimeter (0.8 in) egg sacs in September and October, each containing 25 to 600 bright orange eggs, which she guards, usually hanging upside down from a sac and attacking everything that comes near. Remarkably, one of her means of defense is to squirt (spit) venom from her chelicerae, sometimes for a distance of about a foot (300 mm). The eggs hatch after about two weeks, and after another two weeks fully functional spiderlings emerge from the sac. They pass through eight instars to reach maturity. — Source: Wikipedia

Male Phainopepla — Photo-artistry by kenne
Every time we think about improving,
we should do it holistically.
Real growth, understanding,
and awakening come from
nourishing our body, mind,
and soul together.

Love isn’t all roses and candlelight. Love is complicated, and poetry uniquely expresses
the power and pain of that mess of feeling.
Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.
— William Butler Yeats
Cottonwoods Near Sabino Creek — Image by kenne
Cottonwoods
Already in spring,
as cottonwoods rattle
waxy green leaves,
shivering in March winds
and cold April rains,
I imagine them
in the splendor of Fall,
golden in the autumn sun,
pure silver
under a harvest moon.

Early walkers see the birds
Greeded by singing.
