Made My Day

A Quarantine Update
This has not been a busy year on my blog, having sometimes gone a month or more without posting anything new. Currently teaching three college classes online from home, and not finding much time to write and post images for the blog. One more week in the semester and Spring has sprung, so that should change. I have a backlog of several dozen photos taken in the last few weeks, so I will soon be posting them along with stories of the experiences I'm having along the way. My overall theme is generally concentrated on flowering plants and their symbiotic relationships with their pollinators. When the mood strikes, I insert philosophical and political comments. Please feel free to share your comments, but please be nice. I try to be.

About Me
- Joe Willis
- I have been teaching since 1965 and have recently joined the English Department as an Associate Faculty member at Feather River College. Recently taught Nature Literature in America and am currently teaching Interpersonal Communication and Basic Reading and Writing.
I love the orange "racing stripes", I've not seen one with the stripes (or haven't noticed them).
ReplyDeleteI've seen them with and without, and also often with the main body color yellow. Turns out they can change, but very slowly. Not so much for camouflage as to resemble a flower so insects that come in to get nectar are snagged by the waiting spider. Note the next several posts. This spider was very busy today!
