Yikes!!! I shook when I saw this one! It looks a little too close for comfort Jane! It seems like it is stalking you~ not the other way around...I hope it was a telephoto macro you were using-ha ha. Great textures! Awesome. Beautiful Macro!! #483306

Hi Lavone! Hi Jennifer!
Thanks so much for your comments..I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me your thoughts.
Spiders are not my favorite subject either, but I'm visiting in FLA and I'm amazed at how many different types of spiders I'm seeing!! Have you ever seen a Black Widow?!! Yikes..I have a photo on one that I'll post soon! I took this photo up close with my little Olympus..squatting low to get the perfect angle to capture all of the detail. I thought maybe he wasn't alive but the other night he was moving fast across the patio! He must have been sleeping when I took this or he was scarred and thought he was hiding amongst the pea-gravel..His colors were blending well.
Have a great day! Thanks again! #3024097

Wonderful composition, textures and tones, Jane. I kind of like spiders, they are very interesting little creatures. But beware, the Florida roaches will carry you off in the night! Lol! #3024242

Florida gators and now this spider. I sure wouldn't want to be a yappy little dog down there. #3025786
