Ant Hill

Ant hill swarms with ants. Rain is on the horizon. Ants soon disappear.

Yeah they're under there somewhere. There are a lot of them--a very numerous number of species and individuals. They are very determined.

Ants are formidable, weather is stronger.

Into all the gobbledygook! Still raining here…raining and raining…the sun will come out tomorrow…or so the song goes ;) Enjoyed!

Nice Haiku, Hilda. That's why we need more rain in Texas ... to get rid of all these ants. :-( A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I've heard about the Texas ants from your wife. I guess they are needed, but I don't want them in the house.

Deceptively 'simple.' A world of wisdom in this 'capture of a moment,' Hilda.

Thank you. Ants are the engineers of the bug world.

unfortunately, ants 'rule' our backyard...nothing we've done stops them, except for the torrential rains. Nicely done, Hilda!

I always look forward to hearing from you. Sorry that you are overrun by ants, but remember, Texans have always been industrious.

What an astounding insight! How exceptionally well-designed are those anthills? They appear to continue expanding regardless of unrest or devastation!

I try to stay with the Japanese haiku. Thank you.

What a great observation! How masterfully are those ant hills built! They seem to build bigger even after destruction or disturbance!
