through my dormer window (at the back of this picture) i get to see the silhouette of the back part of devils peak mountain - as well as the strong ridge line of the mountains leading to muizenberg. i also have a rather large night spider that makes his web every evening at 6:30 and is back under cover at dawn. he sets up on the outside of the dormer window and provides me every evening with an incredibly skilled age old web design building display. (who sais web design needs to be all tinkering computer keys.) great inspiration. im very glad he is on the outside of the window as he is rather a large chap and looks like a brown button spider. 4 indentations in his back. the kids have named him - spidey.
other visitors that are often in my studio are the pray mantis. we seem to have a large monastery of these little and not so little creatures, as im forever putting them back outside. its not the same one as i can tell by the eyes .no its the colour - bright green and shades of brown.
