Personal Space

Hey! Look at this lovely crab spider I spotted last spring...


...resting on a forming lupine bloom...

....spinning a web of some sort......and taking issue with my attention!
Get back....

...get back...

...get back to where you once belonged! (Or anywhere really, so long as it's not here!)

Turkey-lurkey Lurking

I was coming home from work one day this past June, and noticed something lurking behind a pine...
...moving slowly through the brush, still hard to see...

...as I get closer, the "guest" moves along to make a retreat...

...coming into the open, my guest is a nice big turkey!
As I try to get a better look, she hurries a tad more......glancing back as she disappears into the woods.

That's why they call them "turkey-lurkey"-they're often lurking! Submitted to Friday Ark.

(My absence from Blogger for so long has been filled with days of vertigo too numerous to mention...I'll provide an update on the veggie planters, etc. ASAP. Thank goodness most plants take care of themselves pretty well! :)
