My reaction to spiders has changed since living in Australia. I am still uncomfortable when I first notice a spider but after a moment the rush of fear subsides. After Australian spiders, justifying a fear of spiders in France is impossible.

Is This the Spikiest Tree?

A short film of yesterday’s spikiest tree, the Gleditsia Caspica, in Lyon’s parc de la tête d’or.
