?what kind of heathen sacrilegiously writes
on a consecrated,wordless day,
asking us to transcend all of our mindless traditions
[Note: Today’s posting was inspired by a comment by a wonderful blogger that i follow who, last Wednesday, in a “Wordless Wednesday” that i posted, graciously commented that my words were missed. Thank you much, A Curious Introvert ! … and hugs to Cutie Fuzzy Doggy.]
Let’s follow Daddy-Long-Legs … Photo by Thomas Peace c. 2019

What a magnificent wording of this!
Yeah, from a heathen! 🙂
What a stunningly beautiful photograph!
Thank you, Susan! I liked the rather 3d aspect of it. 🙂
Seeing the face on a Daddy Long Legs is a first for me. It was good to go to see Wordless Wednesday by A Curious Introvert, it helped to get the context of your writing.
Oh my, Jane, i think you have things a bit bass ackwards here; that is not the face, it is the rear end. The Daddy-Long-Legs is leaving to be followed. I’ll post DLL faces in the somewhat near future. 🙂
So that’s what they look like!
Well, like i told Jane, above, that is the rear end of one. Their faces will appear in the future. 🙂
Cool
Oh, daddy long legs, where have you been¿. You are a childhood memory climbing into the present. Thank you for bringing him back to life, Tom.
Our yard is a time-machine! 🙂
Thanks for ending my day with a big laugh and hugs to fuzzy doggy!😁 Fantastic photo and keep those amazing thoughts and words flowing you wonderful heathen!😁
The thanks go to you, CI! 🙂
I’ll keep putting fresh thorns under everyone’s antiquated, traditional saddle of mediocrity. 🙂
😁😁
Wow, what a shot, Tom!
Thank you, Donna! I hope that you are not one of those who think this is a shot of the Daddy-Long-Leg’s face…
🙂
Not everyone can “wear” red well, but Daddy-O is doing a great job here.
“Daddy-O,” i like that as a label for them! 🙂
Though they are not true spiders… they are closely related to spiders (and are arachnids); your arachnophobia is diminishing! 🙂
Ha ha – wasn’t “Daddy-O” a beatnik or jazz phrase back in the day? I was not old enough to watch “Dobie Gillis” so where have I heard that term before … the next one you see, that’s its moniker. I can deal with them as their bodies are tiny and they stay in place in a corner. I can deal with jumping spiders (okay, they are so tiny and they hop away); it’s those spiders with the fat bodies and long legs that do me in.
I don’t know where “Daddy-O” came from but it is a beatnik term. I remember Dobie Gillis but that show was far from being one of my favorites.
Daddy-Long-Legs sure don’t “stay in place” in our yard. They are usually running around all over the place.
The spiders with the big, fat bodies are harmless. I would walk around a pond where there were tons of them and had them crawling all over me (including my face); they quickly jump off and harmlessly go on their way. 🙂
