"Desires lies at the heart of all that's made of glass, she decided; glass is simply need given substance. You blow into it, and it assumes new shapes. Strike it in the wrong place, it shatters."

The rain has finally returned to Portland and the bumble bees are decidedly damp.

Today in small garden #spooder doings: I found these three juvenile bold jumping spiders, #PhidippusAudax, each tiny cutie hanging out in their own #Dahlia petal palace. I wonder if they're siblings...

Today in itsy-bitsy, incy-wincy #spooder doings - I'm beginning to spot #AraneusDiadematus spiderlings around the garden. I found this one on the tip of a #clematis leaf.
By autumn the surviving females will be grand gravid beauties, their namesake mottled cross marking evident on their large orange abdomens. They'll be hanging out at the center of their magnificent orb webs or carefully tucked just out of sight, a single elegant claw hooked onto a signal line alerting them the moment something touches their web.
But right now, while they're all so incredibly small and translucent, I'd swear they're made of at least 50% sunlight.

For all the aspects of summer that I dislike, that disagree with my brain, I will also admit that it's more than just an inescapable, uncomfortable countdown to glorious autumn. For one thing, it's when various #spiders gradually become more evident outside - orb weavers, jumping spiders, crab spiders, grass spiders, funnel weavers - and each day includes the ritual of inspecting flowers around the garden in hopes of spotting #MisumenaVatia, the flower crab spider. Today I found one and she is exquisite.
While I understand how these beauties find their flowers (mostly by scent), the fact that these elegant, camouflaged spooders manage to locate, climb (or balloon onto), and take up residence inside flowers like so many tiny, eight-legged, predatory Thumbelinas, always feels like magic to me.

'There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.'

Not sure if it's rude to post this. The Amazon UK Kindle version of Fragile Things by @neilhimself is 99p, I think for most of May.

Rainy Saturday #Mosstodon and #LichenSubscribe treasures.

Just finished #reading my first #book of 2023 - Fragile Things by @neilhimself . What a treat that was. And I thought I didn't like #shortstories - when I accept the world I want to stay for a bit. But this was quite an experience... one #tale flows into another making it feel like false awakening. The whole thing actually feels like revisiting one continuous #dream, always different but somehow always yours.

While the power outages, burst pipes, slick sidewalks, and hazardous roads leave much to be desired, the aftermath of an ice storm is always fleetingly beautiful. Who doesn't love a good leaf, moss, or lichensicle?

Edit: Le whoopsie, I forgot to add alt text! B/W photo of a delicate spiderweb created by Zygiella x-notata or a missing sector #OrbWeaver, so-named because they weave beautiful round webs that appear to be missing a section, like a pizza with one slice was removed. The weaver of this beautiful web is not visible as she prefers to spend her time out of sight above her creation, patiently waiting for her prey.
