Shift in Nature

A bleak shift in nature,

inadvertent change of plans,

helm slipping from the hands:

the surface of Neptune.

A clear beam of moonlight

slits the ocean's wrath.

The vessel without a path

makes it into the bight.

  

She's not dead, she's glad

A happy spider

The tree trunks of this garden near de city of Xalapa in Veracruz, were covered with these cheerful kind of spiders. Most of them weren't quite red, though, and this one in particular caught my attention. While trying to get the best portarit of her, I did not realise how close I actually was to the joyful little beasts. Fortunately, all of their legs managed to stay on the trunk's surface and the subject here, gave me a beautiful blushing smile for my photograph.
