It's a Bug's Life

The ants have really fascinated me.













Especially walking down the sidewalk, with a procession of them hauling their leaves, stems,and goodies back to the nest.








It's funny to see all these little bouncing pieces of litter take a tumble everytime the wind blows too hard.




Then the gargantuan task of lifting their prize all the way up the side of the concrete and down into the nest. Unbelieveable.





















Inspiring how they just do their jobs everyday without a complaint or thought.



I took a photo of a yard protected by a high concrete wall, with broken glass embedded into the top. Like the wall, I am so scared of letting dangerous people inside, I also deny the great people access as well. I must work hard to stay open, and let people in. Turning the bend on a 2 hour walk today, I suddenly had this feeling of prosperous friendships, wherever I am. To just walk in to a great buddies' house that's full of life and energy. All I need to do is create that! The next door neighbour saw me checking out the parrot on the wall, and came out to let me put him on my hand. It was really quick; I stayed in one place long enough to make a new friend by letting go of my fears. The barking dogs tried to scare me off, but I was so intrigued by this parrot just walking around, I had to stick around. My curiousity is what will keep me connected to others.
