Walk With Me

Poetic Cycles Tomorrow Is Summer

Make life possible walking watching Spring'ing to life, everything grows anew. Whether you come, or not, life carries on, a walk missed as life continues.

Sky above brings pregnant clouds expectant evening showers, more visitors indoors later, in a spider, shongololo (millipede), tree frogs, geckos not to miss annoying mosquito you sure to hear. Even in the dark of night watch where you walk!

Golden Eyes - Hyperolius pusillus (Waterlily reed frog, dwarf reed frog) November 2022 plenty rain, some visitors, this welcomed me into the kitchen fethching a cup of coffee before venturing outdoors.

Small flat frog reaches an average of 20mm in length found on the blender pipe over the kitchen sink. Wonderful to witness these little frogs around, light green in body colour, golden eyes, horizontal pupil identifies the little frog for me using research of inaturalist

Donkey's Tail (Sedum morganianum) Light green with pink flowers enjoy the sun or shaded areas..., so long as they hanging they appear to be cheerful all year round.

Pink Rain Lily (Zephyranthes grandiflora) flowering frequently now with all the rains, when they seed be sure to take handful and drop them elsewhere in the garden, they grow exceptionally well almost anywhere.

Common rain spider (Palystes superciliosus) visited staying over a couple of nights enjoying the indoors, I know we talking of walking, I walk to the loo too! (That is indoors BTW.)

Flamboyant Tree (Delonix regia) another plant now in flower reminding one Summer and Christmas are here, these exotic beauties flower almost immediately after the Jacaranda Trees stop showing off purple flowers, neither indigenous to South Africa.

So ends todays walk still not covering everything one might see or find, life is full of surprises, one lesson I learn each day when the sun rises is looking around at the abundance on offer. Have a wonderful day, enjoy each moment!

This would be run instead of walk for many people. :-D

Haha.

Fortunately/luckily I am not afraid of spiders.

We enjoy such variety, it's fun watching natures antics!

Running to the loo is like putting off the inevitable, it does become a problem like sleeping, wasting time when you could be doing something constructive....

Thanks @hivebuzz updates always appreciated along with reminders.

Lol, I had a spider of that kind in the guest room I stayed in PE years back while away on the job. It happened to be a poisonous one when I alerted the host, I was scared everyday minute I stayed there until we left 😃

Nice phots Joan.

!PIZZA

They seldom come all the way down the wall, not aware of them biting folk, well not purposefully, Warmer damp weather has brought the cockroaches indoors in droves, little tanks shuffling around, now those I do not enjoy!

Always interesting critters in your area, Joan. Cute tree frog and spider took a walk indoors.

Spider tends to enjoy ceiling not venturing too low down, most probably enjoys the mosquitos which in turn a great symbiotic relation with him, he can stay.

Frogs I am not sure if they attracted to light, we normally see them at night, this one was unusual being there in the morning perhaps locked indoors not seeing him during the evening.

Lovely to see Joan. I notice that you also get those downvotes from newsflash sometimes. I wonder what that's all about?

Best wishes from the Garden route.

I prefer to ignore downvotes, mostly jokers!

Rain has let up for now and appears to be returning for the weekend, thanks for visiting and have a wonderful month of December.

Haha awesome, I hope the rainfall can be captured for storage. What a blessing.

Bet they have not distributed JoJo tanks into the Eastern Cape rural areas to store at some water for households. At least heavy rains are washing the rivers out, it is up to the people as to how clean they wish to keep their water by keeping pollutants well away.

Our region still battling from April floods, sea has E-coli, not what the majors/media are telling inland folk either!

I heard that report about KZN sea water having the worst ecoli measurements globally. Wow flooding was hectic there, while the Cape has droughts. Rain tanks would be ideal.

No or minimal maintenance on system in last 30 years, not surprised we still have problems. Promise of tanks where water is not pumped through the hills has been another shoddy promise made never upheld. Happy Saturday!

That frog is pretty darned cute! That spider, though.. -shiver-. Spiders still give me the heebejeebies

Mosquitos give me the heebejeebies buzzing around waiting patiently to swat them ☺️frogs are welcome, pity they don't last long indoors or I would gladly have them dancing off the walls and ceiling.

So refreshing for tired eyes was you walk today- especially the little green tree frog!

Same colour as my Indy Jean- IRN parrot!

I'm going to look at it again to brighten my day while I'm at work tomorrow!

Colour on some of these tiny frogs is astounding, they are too cute and a blighter to catch to place outdoors.

!LUV and thanks for visiting sorry for late response.
