Yesterday morning in the garden I noticed that the first rose of our Siobhán Ní
Fhoghlú bush was in flower.
I also noticed that a white petal ( I thought) had landed in its heart, this I carelessly flicked away.
An hour later and in the garden again I saw the petal was back, but then as I looked closer at this strangely tenacious petal it moved in a very unpetal like fashion.
It was a pure white spider.
I havn’t ever noticed one like it before.
I went in to get the camera and went closer for a picture.
The spider immediatly got up on its hind legs and waved its front claw like legs at me.
Faced by this agressive albino Shilob I retired.
