Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder indeed! When u r out in the wild, you can see some of the most beautiful creations of nature.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief – Wendell Berry in his poem The Peace of Wild Things
These delicate wild fruits lying on the ground;
They paint such a nice picture, with the dry things around 🙂
Look! Here is a spider hanging in the air!
Weaving a web, which you can see nowhere 😯
These tiny ones are not so easy to spot;
If we do find them, we are one happy lot 😀
Look at what we saw moving ahead!
This shining beauty in black and red 😉
Also in line was this glorious mushroom!
Thanks to the rains which made it bloom 8)
And now, it’s your turn to rhyme 🙂
Come on, let’s have a good time 😆
You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. ~St. Bernard

Oh god i hate tht worm! its like a creature frm hell!! I used to have nightmares of it ! I remember whn i was a kid, i used to walk only through the tarred part of the road to avoid this millipede ,coz i was too scared that i would encounter one of these if i walked through the sand,grass or other muddy surfaces.Morever i think its poisonous if they crawl on ur skin right!U know theres one new species of millepede tht actually produces cynide on their legs.it was found very recently,I think its called ‘ red dragon’ millepede and boy thts one scary creature! And i guess u r a very brave person to get too close enough to take pictures of these creatures.Anyway,this is about as close as I am ever going to get near those creatures again..Thank god im safe here far far away from tht evil creature!
