Along Came a Spider...

Great shot Dolores! You carry your camera around the house too!...lolI just viewed your website....excellent surfing shots, Daniel!! Made me long for warm beach sand and water!! Have a great day!!
Hi Gerda...your comment had me laughing! I love spiders! I found her on my kitchen countertop the night before...I placed a clear inverted glass over her to "save" her for her new modeling career the next day. I thought she modeled beautifully! tee hee! Then I let her go in my herb garden immediately afterwards. THe white Corian background was already there! THanks once again for your kind comments on my image, Gerda...I appreciate your efforts so very much!! Happy day!
HI Gary! What a nice thing to "say"! Thank you for your complimentary post!
Hi Gaby...Sure you could! I'm sure you could...when you think you might have a photo op, they don't seem so threatening anymore. She became my friend for a short time. Thank you for your kind post, Gaby...much appreciated!
Greetings Connie! I'm really not certain the type of spider this is. But it wasn't a jumping one for sure... though I noticed she was quite fast. I'm delighted you like my little spider.
Hi Kathleen! You're so sweet...uhmmm..I'd say she was about an inch long. I trapped her overnight (with a drop of water just in case she needed it) and took the pic the next morning. She's definitely a hunter after observing her. I released her in my herb garden, I knew she would be happy there. Thank you so much! Always a pleasure when you stop by!
Hi Mette! You're so funny...you're not a member of the spider fan club, I take it. They do look strange but I'm sure I look strange to her! Thanks so much!
Hi Judy! I thought of you yesterday! I was in Watertown and planned to go to Litchfield...then changed my mind. I'll give you a call at some point in the summer...I've never gone shooting with anyone, might be fun! Thank you for your complimentary post once again! I appreciate it! #119808
Hi Margaret!! You don't like my model's beautiful eyelashes and head of hair?? You're too funny! I guess the portrait is much different subject matter here, isn't it? I was lucky she was on my white kitchen countertop...saved me from having to find a background! Thank you, Margaret! Appreciate your kindly note!
HI Darren! Yes...I'd say she was pretty good about posing for me, if I do say so myself! She'd keep crawling away and I'd use a paper plate to "steer" her back. She gave up for a minute and there was my chance!! THank you so much!!
Hi Claudia! Yes, I agree that spiders look much different closeup. I have no idea how she came in the house but I find them now and then...some more interesting than others! I wait for the day I find a nice colorful one!! Thank you dear Claudia!! #120014
Hi Monika!! Did I scare you?? THank you for your lovely compliment on my work! I appreciate it all!! I know your standards are high so it means alot!
HI BT!! Hey, if the Orkin man is handsome, he can come visit me anytime!
I'm beyond help, however! THanks so much, BT!!
Hi Oksana!! Thank you for commenting on another one of my images! You're very sweet! I appreciate your kindly post immensely! #120518

I enjoyed reading some of these messages especially at the start of this thread. Dolores, this certainly was smart thinking on your part. The modeling fees are affordable you don't have to worry about a signed model release, and no studio costs either. :-) Congrats on another excellent image and for a well-deserved win! #142593Jean-Francois Schmutz 7/15/2003 12:31:43 AM
Un grand bravo, Dolores !Keep upload your wonderful images for us, at my taste you become a little bit too rare these times !
