Dejstvo je, da nevednež dolži druge za svoje neuspehe; človek, ki se je začel učiti, obtožuje samega sebe; poučen človek pa ne dolži drugih in ne sebe.
@Sabina: I found another quote by Epictetus just for the occasion:
No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.
@Jules: No, it’s just trying to make a living like the rest of us 😉 Have to go see your pics now.
Laughing out loud (LOL) I came to thank you for the comment you made about the blue morning glory. And lo there is my spider. I just took a photo of this newly discovered spider, an Argiope, that I found last evening. I fed it a Japanese Beetle and got some pictures of the wrapping process and then later saw that the beetle was dwarf-size compared to normal. I was going to post it Saturday (today) but didn’t and posted this new-looking bee thing eating some grass seed. I don’t know what it is or where to look to find out.
I enjoyed your post and it surprised me. The same spider must be everywhere.

Hope it doesn’t bite!!!
This is a beautiful photo of an insect that usually isn’t noted for its beauty.
Tomorrow I will have a posting that is also insect related – but much bigger!!
