Neil Armstrong didn’t realize that he had a spider hitching a ride on his spacesuit (and that it jumped off and was what actually took the first lunar step). 🙂

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Stay mindful, understanding, and caring!...
I certainly have changed over the years. A photo like this, in the past, would have made me go, “Ewwww….” Now, I just go, “Awwww….” Great photo of an equally fine creature.
Incredible photo, Tom! I love watching spiders weaving their webs! They too, just like ants are amazing creatures and will probably outlive us humans! 🙂
My what big eyes you have … oh look, two sets of eyes. But no long lashes. 🙂 I heard this morning on the news feature “On this date in history” that it was 60 years ago today that the TV show “Twilight Zone” debuted. I never watched any sci-fi shows and I guess this was about as adventurous as I got in that regard. I always remember the one “Twilight Zone” about the spider that grew to epic proportions. Perhaps that was where I learned my fear or spiders.
I enjoyed that show – I cancelled my cable in 2010 and had not watched TV for a while before that, just taped a few movies with the VCR, but they are still in a cabinet downstairs. I will look forward to your spider stories because they’ll be the real deal.

All hail the spider. It’s first lunar step was, in essence, eight.
Yes! And can you imagine spiders in low gravity?! 🙂
😀😂
Just imagine how large they could build their webs there!
🙂 Or how high they could leap! 🙂

Awesome, Linda! You are becoming way less arachnophobic!
Congratulations! 🙂
No, no, no!!!!
Yes, yes, yes!!!!
What a great photo. You seem to have shown the little guy’s personality!
They have a lot of personality! All of those eyes and perfect acrobatic skills are indicative of real spirit and awareness. 🙂
hahaha If only! 😀
Keep watching where you step, Scifi. 🙂
Yes 🙂
amazing shots..
Thanks much, Leyla. It wasn’t easy, on the moon. 🙂
Very cute! And good story too!
More spidery stories to come soon. 🙂
Yay!
Nice close up of the spider. Some spiders shoot webs. I wonder how far one would go on the moon. 😊
Yes… that would be awesome! 🙂

🙂 For sure, Sabine… for sure! They’ll live millions of more years beyond our time-span.
Awww, cute stories! I like spiders and we leave them alone if they are not the venomous sort.
Yes, i leave them alone or help them get outdoors. I’ll have a true story (around Halloween) about a huge one that i released after it bit me. 🙂
Hey that spider is cute!
Super cute!!! 🙂
It’s possible I guess😊Excellent photo!
But all of the human scientists will deny it. 🙂

The Twilight Zone usually had some underlying lesson (about goodness and Karma) to convey. So did a good number of shows back then. 🙂
Wait!… Around Halloween, i’ll have some true stories (about very huge spiders and me). 🙂

Loved the Halloween Moon Landing and photo!🙂
Good! This will be coming soon to your living room. Watch where you step! 🙂
