Down the mountain
She drives
As fields await wheat
To arrive.
Down the mountain
She strives
Arrow straight
To a new life.

Come on friend
We will walk
On this sand
To the end
Of the earth
And return
Just before
A new night
Falls again.

Deep in summer
When it bloomed
It held the promise
Of Autumn.

One cannot head to pasture
On a fine, chilly morn
Without checking to see if
One’s mane’s properly adorned.

Choo-Choo

You can captain a boat
Drive a car
Pilot planes,
But there’s nothing quite like
Driving this
Mini-train.

Turning In

As the cool nights
Begin,
Snow draws near
And she pulls in.
The verdant hues of
Summer’s green,
Slowly replaced with
Sleep’s bronze
Sheen.

Not Itsy
Photo: Adi Rozen-Zvi
This is no macro shot
Of a small spider
Up close,
But a photo of one
That is bigger than most.
Sized to barely fit
In the palm of a man,
It clung to a web
That could use
A steadier hand.
For the Lens-Artists Challenge: Big
Trivia: Giant Golden Orb Weavers (Nephilia Pilipes) are named for the way their intricate webs shimmer in the light. Females can grow to 20 centimeters (8 inches!!) in size and have a long slim, black body with golden spots on their back, and long skinny legs (the males are about 10 times smaller, sorry guys). Female Giant Golden Orb Weavers can build gigantic webs that can span 2 meters (6-7 feet!!) across, often between large trees, where they can be seen resting on their webs and protecting their territory (yep, that’s exactly what the photo we took above depicts). They bite their prey to immobilize it, and though their bite is not dangerous to humans, if you do get bitten by one of these mega-spiders, I cannot guarantee that you will not have LOTR-style nightmares of massive arachnids coming to get you.

Atop a daisy’s crown
Of petaled

A bee hovers
Set to hold
The pollen sought

Behind Closed Doors
Photo: Inbar Asif
Decades shut
Behind closed shores
What old stories
Had you told
Of not so distant
Wars?
Weathered by
Time and lore
What future resides
Behind Cuba’s
Sealed doors?

Potential
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
From shade onto sunlight
From old bricks
To plastered walls,
She gazed out
To the terrace
And a horizon
Pregnant with
Potential
Rainfall.
