Treasures

Small Treasures have a Big Impact!

DISCOVER

Last week I went for a walk at Chalco Hills with my family. I took my camera with me, and at first it seemed like I wouldn't find anything out of the ordinary to take pictures of. Well was I wrong! I discovered little treasures that were far more beautiful than realized. Spiders. To think, I have walked this lake for the last 17 years and this is the first time I have come across these little spiders, yet, not so little. A gentleman walking by told me that these spiders were called Writers Spiders because of the unusual writing like marks in the web. But all spiders featured here are in the "Orb" family.

Spiders of all things are beginning to grow on me, who'd of thought? These are beautiful spiders. Look at their designs on their backs. Look at their colors. Look at their fascinating little faces. They are awesome. Such a treat to come upon these little discoveries of nature.

It just goes to show that we can't be to pessimistic. Life is always full of little delightful surprises lurking in unexpected places no matter how many times we have traveled on the same road. We can still miss sweet opportunities if we don't keep our eyes and our minds open.
