My Gardening Buddy

I was helping my mom trim back her hostas and irises this afternoon when I spotted this guy climbing on the gardening recycling bag. Good thing I'm not scared of spiders because he was big!

Even close-up he is BIG - wonderful detail on this interesting looking spider.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Excellent focus on this character. Interesting how tiny her facial features appear to be yet she has such a massive body in comparison.

[PhotoCrazy]

RUN!! Wow, I'm scared enough for both of us! Nice capture!

[Taffy]

That's incredible -- it looks gigantic and is so clearly captured. Wow!

[Rosie Kerr]

Holy cow... this thing looks almost as big as a cow. What great focus and DOF. I am scared just looking at your shot. Nice capture!
