tarantula

This morning we went to the goddess temple to sing and walk in the desert.  We saw a tarantula.  We had tea with our priestess friend, and she told us it's tarantula season.  Ming told me to take a picture and I said no.  I was surprised by how quickly the word tarantula came to me when I hadn't seen one in a long time.

The jimson weed flowers were open, and I took a picture of one of those.
