Yep. Same wave link! Ha! Well that proves it. We live in the same family tree. Except my spidey loves to vacuum and yours loves to lounge. SMART SPIDER YOU HAVE THERE! Is it maybe doing YOGA stretches instead? I cant truly tell?! :)))

Love it Mare!

HEHE! Well either that is one HUUGE spider - or you are a great macro photograper, Mary.
You have so many new and wonderful images. I am so much behind. I'm sorry. #9977046

Mary K. Robison February 12, 2012

Thanks for stopping in with your friendly comments, Pom and Kiki. You know I value your opinion!
Pom, you may be onto something about the yoga...it's got the stretch part down pat! Probably could manage a record number of pull-ups, too. ;-D
Kiki, I'M the one who needs to apologize. Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you! May 2012 be a fantastic year for you. How could it not be, as you settle into your dream job? I'm so happy for you!
As for Mr. Spidey, the thumbnail-photo version is only slightly larger than its actual size. I shot this from about a foot away. (I had to put my dislike of spiders aside long enough to get several shots of this one.) Cropping the original photo is what makes the critter look so huge!

Wow! It took me a while..., this is fantastic... Love the way the spider camouflages within the flower and my first thought was the black things on the legs were bugs and the spider so small and hard to find. This is a prized capture Mary. #9978891
