spider sunbeams

　　
　　


aki fukashi　秋深し


01 Spider sunshine



autumn deepens -
my spider still weaves
sunbeams

I have been observing HIM for quite a few weeks now, hanging in mid-air down from the roof. It must be a HIM, withstanding some rather strong gales and the first frost this morning ...

    We saw few of these spiders earlier this year here. I think the draught has cut the mosquito and insect population down, so, the food source for spiders diminish and thus the spider population too.

    collects and connects --

    This is such a beautiful haiku, Gabi san -- both in visual image, and in wording. One of the best spider haiku I've ever read :)

    In my rock garden, spiders began hiding between rocks since the cold days coming...

    Hi Gabi. Nice garden spider.
    A real fisherman (fisherwoman).


    autumn's end...
    in the spider's web
    wayward leaves

    Some Comments from Friends

    Beautiful, Gabi!

    ..........

    Lovely haiku and stunning photo., Gabi.

    So it's an orb weaver of some kind. I think it's a 'she'. Those old woman spiders have taught us humans a thing or two.

    ..........

    Hello, Gabi,

    Yes, a stunning photo. I love seeing spider webs glistening in the sun.

    ..........

    Beautiful haiku, Gabi. While the photo is lovely, the haiku stands very well on its own.

    ..........

    lovely haiku gabi

    ..........

    This one's a joy, Gabi.

    Hi Gabi,

    I love the haiku and photo. Everyone is cocooning and nesting to stay warm these days, and this image of airiness and light makes me feel warm!

    This haiku has such a hopeful feeling for me.
    Best, from Nagoya !

    ..................................

    Thanks my friend and stay warm !
    GABI
