Spider

We interrupt this progression of posts on the faraway sublime to bring you a bit of sublime closer at home.

I was breaking down a head of broccoli and had gotten to the best part, the stem, which unfortunately was hollowed out by rot, when this one scootled across the chopping block for the cover of cleaver on its side. What the hell, I thought, good luck, spider. Later, though, it started up the wall and looked out of place so I captured it and released it into the Back 40.

Back to the great Southwest tomorrow.
