I have a hate/love relationship with spiders. I love taking pics of them, but they still kind of bother me. I can get really close to them with a camera, but if they are in the tub or sink I feel compelled to drown them. Otherwise I grab them up and take them outside. Every once in awhile I just smoosh them for no reason, like the tiny one I saw the other night. Then I berated myself for not only smooshing it, but because I had a great photo op and let it go because of my ‘shriek’ factor. Drat!
I understand! If they are outside, I’m fine with them – as long as they aren’t crawling on me. But if a big one is in the house, I get the heebies… They are really photogenic, though, huh? ~Tui
That is almost a beautiful picture, great colors. Hmm…never thought I would say it but pretty nice looking spider.
Hehe! Even spiders can be beautiful sometimes. :)
