Sunday Sketches



Tiny Life

Every life, no matter how tiny,  has a role to play in the balance of nature.  I respect life and avoid, at all cost, being responsible for ending a life, even that of a tiny spider.   Respect for life and for others seems to be waning in our society these days and it is painful to watch.  How do we return to a time when manners, politeness, respect all added up to a more comfortable and rewarding way of life?  I have no problem with progress, but losing one's soul to greed and selfishness is the beginning of the end and I fear that is where we are headed.

Sadly I believe you are right.
And all we can do is lead our own lives with integrity and compassion.
Beautiful image - and thank you, for the beauty and the perspective.

What wonderful and caring thoughts! I too try not to harm spiders if possible, I am glad to read of your kindred thoughts.

That's exactly how I feel too, Andrea. It's one of the main reasons I became vegan and the extra bonus is that I am now reaping the benefits of improved health. Beautiful photos! Whenever I see a spider/bug/lizard in the house I will always move them back outdoors under our eaves or pergola where they still have shelter. :)

Beautiful photo. I love it when I look at mine on the large screen and find an unseen guest that I missed when I was looking through the viewfinder.

I'm with you in all that you say in this post. These photographs are very beautiful.

I ignore the spiders here, they can't bite people, fangs are not long enough apparently.

Rain Frances Creations ... Appliances

  Appliances One has to stretch the imagination to come up with appliance art.  Sorry, no photos to share this week.  I am not in the habit ...
