When we visit Mammoth Mountains for vacation, we always stay in some cabins near Lake Mary. They’re old, not run down … but old. The area is in sort of a bowl shape with mountains completely surrounding it. Of course, there are all kinds of critters including spiders. I prefer the bears and chipmunks but there is a small crowd of spiders to add character to the environment. LOL
In this case, I spotted this floating twig – a tiny one. It was suspended in air by the web. Looking through the web the mountains were powerful and crisp in the background. Then, I noticed there was …
dangling twig
a mountainous view
but no spider

Love this Haiku
Great! Thanks!
🙂
I agree and it gives me the chuckles….I would much rather be hanging with the bears than the spiders. I run away from the spiders and run to the bears, somehow this does not seem normal.
haha… it’s NOT normal!
Wonderful! I read the Haiku before reading the story to see if I got the picture in my head right and I sure did. I always look for the spider when I see dangling twigs.
I like doing that too 🙂
That’s awesome! There’s always something behind the web … in the distance. It’s kind of cool to notice that. Of course, in this case I was a little worried because the spider was missing and the web was a little tattered.
