The plant that brings so much wonder.

A nine day prayer. Love you, sis! 💗

Carries hundreds of babies on her back. Sometimes they fall off, crawl anxiously, find their way back on. The wolf spider mother is wonderfully capable. And a little scary. She was the width of a golf ball!! When she saw me, though, she was not scared. I tiptoed around her.

Never gets old…

When I was a kid, I consciously remember how I never wanted to stop playing, stop imagining. I looked around at the adults who looked so bored and thought they had made the wrong choice by not getting on the ground with us kids and imagining they were cats, dogs, dolphins (and everything else!). I had forgotten about that thought for years because, alas, I grew up, into textbooks, responsibilities. But when my son begins playing like I used to, all of a sudden I’m transported. Back to the wonder of childhood imagination.

We went to a nature center we had never visited before, and enjoyed exploring the unexpected wonder of this place. (spiders not pictured!)




The other night Nick called me to the backyard to look at Mars, shining brightly next to the moon. I didn’t capture a great photo, but just witnessing this planet burn with wonder, amazed us.

Offers its own soothing, cleansing type of wonder.
