Spide

The spiders and I have become pretty close of late. This fellow's name is Spide, he has a couple of mates, Spidey and Long Legs.

Thanks so much for all the lovely comments for yesterday's butterfly!

[Milind Ketkar]

Nice close up..

[Jennie Louise]

urghhh!! brave lady. reminds me of the spiders they have in Kenya hanging from trees. ;-)

[Jason Daniels]

what a cool guy, careful he doesn't drop on your head?

[lorihiro]

Beautiful bokeh and amazing details. Keep your distance though--he looks big and scary!

[robinwarner]

ok...totally freaked out...how big is this guy?

[Thom Mitchell]

@kaustin Ditto Krista: love the photo, but the subject? Not so much. Though they subsist on household nuisances!

[jerry plume]

Aaaaaaah! Nice find! Love the detail!

[junginger]

cool!

[Kd Wallis]

wow, great detail!! he looks super kreepy though!! nice shot against that blue sky!

[Netkonnexion]

Lovely against the blue sky. Nicely seen.

[Sheralee S]

@bobfoto That would freak me out! If I google silver camel spider, the third result is your 365 page!

@lorihiro @robinwarner He's not that big really, maybe 1 1/2 inches.

[Sheralee S]

@jennlouise We have some big ones here hanging from trees too Jennie, they really freak you out if you run into them.

[Bugik]

Are Spidey and Long Legs a lot creepier than Spide? :-)
This photo gives me goosebumps but Spide is cute though. Great capture and lovin those tiny bits of bokeh!

[Sheralee S]

@bugik Hehe, no, I don't get close enough to the creepy ones to give them names ;o)

[Karoline Gilbert]

Cool capture Sher! Love the detail!

[e.gad]

Great focus! Fantastic shot.

[Kerri]

Gorgeous

[Kathy Rae Photography]

So cool. Love despite the fact that they scare me!!!

[Rach_who]

Spide looks like he has just had a shower. I love the blue background.

[Sheralee S]

@rach_who Yes, I thought he might want to cool off. Isn't it hot for a winter's day?

[alia_801]

Nice capture of Spide! Cool lighting too.

[marg]

Wow - the lighting in this is amazing! It could be straight out of a science magazine! Really, really good.

[Zoe Ferrie]

Great focus, detail and colours ....

[Muse]

I don't like looking at it so much, but technically I love your shot!

[Jason Daniels]

@bella_ss - Cool. and Yes it is freaky when you walk into one of the webs!

[Donna Edwards]

Looks amazing in this photo. I don't like them though :oP

[Sheralee S]

@lilbumblebee @scatcat @kathyrae @kdimagery @kaustin I totally understand how you wouldn't like them. I stay away from the big ugly ones too!

[Anne ❀]

Crazy detail! Such hairy legs! lol Great pic!

[CocoRose]

Yikes!! I think I'll go back and look at the pretty lily again! No, just kidding! Fabulous shot Sheralee! I commend you on getting up close and personal with these spideys ;)

[Dana Derrico]

Spiders give me the creeps, but this is a pretty fabulous photo. Love how the light catches on the web!
