STOMP! (That was for YOU, Tammy!) HeeHee! Actually you would love Canada. There are hardly ANY BUGS here. My biggest annoyance are the wasps! Our bumble bees can be mammoth too! But they are so pretty!

Thank you everyone...(Am I the only one who things this spider might be vacuuming?)

"You thank, Emile!" Thanks for the smile!

A great capture and filter work here Sister Laura! I didn't know they made vacuum cleaners that small! #9963377

Ann Coates level-classic February 05, 2012

Terrific use of effects here Laura. Even though I don't particularly like spiders, I still couldn't bring myself to kill one. Off they go into a jar and then back outside again. #9965872

A wonderful come-back shot with an engaging creature here Laura. the effects enhances the Spider's action, a great shot to usher-in Spring. #9970675

Hiya, Pom! What a same-wave-length moment, despite your posting this more than a week ago! I've just discovered it this morning, and that's what counts, right?
Nice hoovering job YOUR spider is doing. At first glance, this looked to me like a mosquito...and I'm still looking for eight legs on it, but who's counting, anyway? Cool effects, especially the 3-d look of the flower.
It's always fun to read your comment threads. They must be the best on the site.
Later, pommagator. :-D #9974935

VERY cool Laura, I love the frac filter on this, it totally ads another dimension tho this wonderful image!! <>< #9982158

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 14, 2012

Mare, I gotta tell you if Spiders are supposed to have 8 legs, well they only have 6 here because in Calgary it gets so darned cold that two fall off! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!

Hi everyone! (John, Ann, Rey, Mary and Nancy!)

I am horrified of spiders and was thrilled that I got this one and could do something neat with it. Thanks so much for your more than welcomed comments!

-Laura :D #9983175

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 14, 2012

(Mare...I only count 5 legs. What a life this bug has had, eh?!) #9983186
