Spider Trees in Pakistan
The Silver Lining, The Spider Webs! An unexpected side-effect of the flooding in parts of Pakistan has been that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters. Because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in spiders webs. People in this part of Sindh have never seen this phenome…non before but, they also report that there are now far fewer mosquitoes than they would expect, given the amount of stagnant, standing water that is around. It is thought that the mosquitoes are getting caught in the spiders web, thus, reducing the risk of malaria, which would be one blessing for the people of Sindh, facing so many other hardships after the floods.

He had no intentions of saying what he really felt. This was that if you have slept on one mattress, end to end with five other children - a mattress more over on which two brothers and a sister had died, neither easily nor peacefully, with no where to remove them to - A few old bones weren’t going to worry you. All his life he had had a steady craving for solitude, hardly even named but never relaxing. He had no idea if other people felt this. On the whole it appeared they did not. In the museum crypt, in the dark and dust, briefly, this craving had been for the first time satisfied. He was in a dangerous and explosive state of mind.

here I was just scrolling through someones tumblr, and I came across this and I just stopped. It caught my attention for a long time. I noticed every piece breaking, in slow motion so clearly and the one thing that came to my mind was that moment when your heart breaks. When you can feel it drop and break into little pieces when you hear something that you wish wasn’t true.(via anchored-grounded)
