Hiding in the Petals

Back in the day I spent hours photographing the minuscule 
life in my garden.
Above you can see a dahlia home for a spider family. 
In the large file image you can see that the daddy 
has dragged home something for his babies to snack on.
I hope in this smaller file you can see this detail.
The snack is white, almost  transparent.
Here is an another image I captured in a nearby flower.
Perhaps the aliens are already here hiding in our gardens.
This one looks harmless to me. 
It might be his baby that the spiders are going to eat.
In the natural world you have to eat or be eaten.
Everything is eventually recycled.
Let us take another look at our friendly hoverfly.
Here it is having fun between the sheets(petals) of a peony.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
