My first proper photograph with my new camera. I snapped this beauty, who has a big job ahead of him, in our backyard this-morning. Of course, I've no idea what sort of spider it is but I'm sure someone will tell me.
I feel this effort (his and mine) deserves a poem!
A SINGLE THREAD
No matter what lies ahead,
Recall what the old sage* said
'Though your task be hard
In the old back yard,
Make a start with a single thread'!
The 'old sage' is me, so don't set too much store by this homily!
That's a big beggar!
ReplyDeleteThere was a song with a similar theme I remember from childhood. Something about keeping right on til the end of the road. People used to sing it on trips and I think Andy Stewart (complete with kilt) used to sing it a lot.
Credit goes to you, (for the poem as well), and the spider, but not the camera? A beautiful picture and would love to know what IS the new camera! Can you comment on that, please!! MM of NY
ReplyDeleteLike Spider in his silver maze,
ReplyDeleteI sit in somewhat of a daze
to think these words I write are read,
perhaps, by other folk who choose
to blog their hours way, not snooze!
So glad to have found you. Great rhymes!
What a photo.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I'm glad this bugger is not in MY yard.
;-)
Blessings,
