This big ass spider (10 cm / 4 in) did me the favor of posing on the other side of a window, so I wasn't afraid to get a close up.

I think it's a Golden Silk Orb-Weaver (Nephila spp.)

A close-up of a large spider, approximately 10 cm (4 inches) in size, centered in its intricate web. The spider has long, striped legs and a distinctive pattern on its abdomen. The background is a blurred view of greenery and a bright sky, with the spider and web sharply in focus.

I've always wanted to snoop through this neighbor's gate and see their view of the gully. They tore down a big section of their wall. Wish fulfilled.

A scenic view through a partially demolished brick wall, revealing a lush, green gully and a hillside neighborhood in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The foreground features two brick pillars framing the view, while the background showcases colorful houses with red and orange rooftops nestled among trees and greenery under a bright, partly cloudy sky.

I can't emphasize enough how much better fruit is here than in American supermarkets.

A vibrant street fruit market in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Two vendors sit beside a colorful display of fresh fruits, including oranges, watermelons, tomatoes, and bananas. The fruits are arranged on tables and a red cart, under a blue umbrella, showcasing the richness and variety of local produce.

Teach Malagasy schoolchildren in the Malagasy language. The fact that this is controversial shows that decolonization remains unfinished.

Gullible rich people doing conspicuously destructive things to impress their rich friends because they can? See? Madagascar isn't so exotic after all.

Our backyard gate handle. Hey, stupid, could you have picked a better place to ensure that you would be harassed?

I moved him to a safe location, but he wasn't happy about it.

A chameleon clings to the horizontal metal handle of a backyard gate, blending with the rustic, textured surroundings. The gate is set against a pinkish wall, with a potted plant and a metal door visible in the background.
