Here's that post I promised you about meeting my friend at the hibiscus flower.
-----------------------------------------------
I'd thrown on a pair of thongs and rushed outside to get some pictures. In Okinawa, you see a lot more people running around in casual clothes and these rubber flip-flops. But these are special. They were probably bought at a Christian bookstore down in southern Okinawa. Can you guess why? Yup, the sign of the fish with the Greek letters inside for "Jesus Christ, Son of God" first century Christians used to identify themselves! "How beautiful are the feet of them..."
I got carried away. I put on those things and trotted
across the street to the shady area near the river to get a good picture of my favorite little hibiscus.I told you, it isn't the vibrant blood-red you see in most tourist photographs but a delicate red with white streaks. But the one I was trying to photograph seemed to be jiggling, wasn't it? A worm! A teeny, tiny worm with a bright red head seemed to want to be photographed too,
He let go of the bloom...and I realized he joined a few of his buddies on the ground. Their flowers had wilted or been severed from the tree for some reason so sent them falling. I hadn't noticed the gray-black spagetti-stubs lying there until this one joined them. I saw red ends lift up then as they began to move. When it reached the white rail nearby, I dared get up close and take another picture.
A human bugged a worm? First time for everything.
