Jumping spider
Today, another cute few mm sized jumping spider found on one of the proposed MAGLEV train yard sites on the nation's largest USDA ag research center. Picture by Anders Croft. (Note to Anders, Anders, this would have be a great shot if only you had not cut one our friend's front feet off, sadly National Geographic will not about this one....) ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~
We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
