We were busy doing some work around the house for the all important and more than slightly dreaded Christmas preparations when I spotted this wonderful monstrosity outside the window of the West Wing of the manor house, just next to the library and servants quarters...by which I mean conservatory, magazine rack and our bedroom.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@overalvandaan Thanks very much - she's exactly where she was to be honest. I don't mind them and she looks like she was doing a good job. @spanner Thanks very much - I'm not tall enough to get any other POV on this one! @brigette Just like mine except she has more! @maggiemae Good lord no - she's been left alone to do her business
We have these beauties weaving their webs throughout the garden, I daren't go out at night to wander without a torch, saying that, the torch aids in displaying of enormous spider shadows on the tree trunks, very creepy.
Nice image :)
@brigette I peeked up it's skirt...and with stilettos like that it's either a she or a drag queen... @newbank I know...I nearly shuddered a bit @rosiekerr Thanks very much - those legs are remarkably similar to mine ;) @voiceprintz That she is, and thanks very much @andy3168 Thank you very much :) @hermann Thanks very much - we have loads of them as well as we have trees, trees and more trees. This one was just quite striking against the white of the house. @chippy1402 Thanks very much :)
He looks worse in b/w somehow......I don't mind spiders but this one gives me the creeps, perhaps because he lives in your house!
Oh I forgot Shelob is a woman!
@northy Yes, but thus far we haven't received any messages written in web... @juliedduncan Thanks very much - I'm just pleased that the comments are now this far down so that I don't have to look anymore ;) @yrhenwr Some of them have this many legs... @happypat We only have the finest creatures living here ;) @tabarlett Me too...I'll kill it with fire ;) @amandal Thanks very much...quite liking him/her as well :)
you have a conservatory?
this is a very awesome spider shot - she is quite beautiful - apparently I will be having some deadly guests in the house tonight as my daughter transports them from one place to another - will try and get some photos
@northy Good point. I imagine with that many legs she'd be a faster texter. @annied We do indeed have a conservatory. Where else would we hold orchestral recitals of a summer evening?
@kt8ird Thanks very much :) @amyleewinfield Thank you kindly - seems to have gone now...looking over my shoulder... @annied Likewise @ukandie1 Thanks very much
Oooh....So having been bitten by spiders....I have a healthy respect for them....and they do a lovely job taking care of other ummm issues we may have....still....looking at this....I have a cross of awe and itchiness....
@kareenking Thank you so much :) @gigiflower I know - I'm pleased that the comments are this far down so that I don't have to look anymore ;) @ounooi Thank you very much :) @lisatown Thank you kindly :) @deak68 I've been bitten as well, several times...nothing too serious over here although I did once have one in my jeans...
@bill_fe Thank you kindly on both counts :) @taffy Thanks very much - once again my dumb luck masquerades as skill... @lambda Thank you very much :) @sioux Neither do I - I'm just happy that the comments are this far down and I don't have to look at it anymore. And thanks :) @888rachel Thanks - we have the white tail (not too serious most of the time) and the katipo (quite serious most of the time) other than that I think we're reasonably okay. No snakes either, with the exception of politicians... @francoise Thanks very much :)
