I Dream of Monsters in the Sky. by ladymagpie

I Dream of Monsters in the Sky.

Most people know I have a phobia about spiders, or Arachnids to be scientific, sometimes ending up outside naked trying to get rid of them. (Don't ask).

Well this morning I came out onto my patio to talk to my neighbour and was confronted with this right before my eyes. it was dangling from my washing line and another step forward it would have been in my face.

I took a few paces back, just look how big it was and could have eaten me alive. OK I own up I do exaggerate a bit as it was quite small, but by using a close up with the camera, then turning it upside down against the sky, it could be that MONSTER that I dream about.

View it against the black background.
eeeeeeeeeeeek! I am also an arachnaphobe of note!!! Hope I have good dreams tonight! Awesome capture nonetheless! :)

Like your presentation of this..... I'm not frightened of spiders, would never kill one, but I don't really like close up photos of them......... despite this being a great shot

You can't be that scared to get this detailed shot -unless you have a very long telephoto lens.

Just what you want to see first thing in the morning! Nicely captured and glad to know you didn't walk into the web. If I accidentally touch the one on my front porch you'll hear me at your house!

You're so brave, Heather. Imagine what you looked like to him. Star for your new found courage. Soon you'll be petting them.
