Sunrise is great, but wait till you see the other photos!
Not much going on here due to the mercurial weather patterns, so I decided to have a look at the small things today.Besides, due to the constant cloud cover, distance shots on the zoom are out of the question as everything blurs in the bad light.
There is however much beauty in nature.
Let's have a look!
This guy looks like a neurotoxic Black Button spider. Ultra poisonous, so I caught and put him in the garden.
Some wild mushrooms growing under the macadamia nut tree!
Papillon (Butterfly), green at the bottom!
The same Papillon, white at the top.
A lizard eager for a bit of sun after the heavy rains!
The sun is weak and he cuddles his tail!
Some type of colorful shield bug!
Here's a married couple of different shield bugs Lol.
Ended as I started with this sunset shot!
There is harmless beauty and pests both in nature and in our human existence. The poisonous ones in nature can be equated to the poisonous ones in life, the ones who bite you behind your back, others that are so fond of crime, and so on.
Yet, everyone is born with an inherent beauty, and it is a choice of which path to follow in life. The insects are naturally poisonous, but very few humans are born poisonous. It is an acquired habit.
It is the choices that we make in this life that govern our existence, and we as humans have the ability to change from poisonous to good at any time. Something that the animals do not have.
Love is the antidote required for change.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
What a fantastic series of shots and I do agree there is good in everyone, sadly some do also let their darker sides control them and like you did the spider its best to move them or yourself to seperatre where there darker sides can not cause us trouble
Thank you JJ and you are right, as any of us can put the dark things aside.
Blessings!
Yes indeed and thats what I think both you and I try to do Blessings
Great photos!

Thank you my friend!

How beautiful insects can be when you look close up! I feel fortunate that we have no poisonous snakes or spiders where we live. Glad you showed that guy the way out.
Good reminder to be wary of the "poisonous " people and that we all have the ability to change.
Love is such a powerful thing and learning to love ourselves and others allows us to drop that poisonous side!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you my friend and real love is indeed a powerful tool.
Blessings!

wow i like the lizard and the spider shot most, put the lizard as top shot, it is attracting
Thank you Vibi.
That is a real African lizard there and we also have many other types of lizards.
One bite from the spider can kill a human.
Blessings!
oh yeah spider are little but so powerful.
The lizard looks a bit fat unlike indian slim lizards but is sure pretty :)
Wow. Those are very different critters than the ones we have here in Houston. Our lizards are much smaller and slimmer, though we do have gigantic cockroaches that fly--if they happen to get into your house you can sometimes hear them scurrying around.

They say that cockroaches have survived from the Dynastic era my friend.
And I can assure you that nobody likes them.
We also have some big ones over here.
Blessings!
Magic in the moment, and no truer word said that we can relate the animal kingdom to every living thing.
Black spiders with the red hour glass on their bellies were all around our window sills outdoors thirty years ago, have not seen one in over a decade, indicative of how insects are no longer around.
Mushrooms look simply delicious like edible ones perhaps.... Lizard has beautiful colouring along with the shield backed bugs Stephen.
Great captures, good eye with the camera!
Thank you Lady Joan, let me say this.
A friend nearly died after eating wild mushrooms and since then I have never touched one. Even if they look edible.
I did not ask the button to show me the famous red spot, but took no chances with it.
Blessings and thank you.
wow first photograph is awesome. Golden clouds with blue sky looks awesome.
beautiful photographs. thanks for share with us.
Thank you my friend.
Blessings!
Some nice finds out in nature. Anytime I find spiders here I kill them though, but everything in Australia can kill you haha! :P
Hahaha, many things here in South Africa can also kill us my friend, but I prefer to keep them alive as they all play a role in the diversity of nature.
Blessings!
