Spider Wake

We are having a wake for the afore-mentioned spider! He did not survive his day's small claim to fame! This is my gin and ice with a bit of golden light thrown in from the side! It's called GIG (golden iced gin)

"Alas poor spidey we knew you not,
Abseiling down walls you really are hot,
You met your end for the perfect shot,
And we salute you with a little tot."

Thanks to David - @doblaine

Very creative! This is great!

[Arthur Loosley]

Lovely shot and a kind thought. I hope you didn't find a fly in your drink!

[Tom Cole]

Hmmm - good shot! I think I'll have to join in the wake a little later on. I'll raise a glass of wine in his/her memory!

[Maggiemae]

@okc553 Tom, I think they have to be an 'it'! Nothing to remember them by!

[Sharon Lee]

hahahaha… a wake for a spider, now I have heard everything… anything for a drink.

[Maggiemae]

@kamb Slainte, Karen - I think this spider has A Scottish heritage!

[Maggiemae]

@sugarmuser Now tomorrow Sharon, I'm going to eat an egg - goodbye chicken, a chicken drumstick - ditto, stand on a bug, smack a moth! Etc...

[Sharon Lee]

@maggiemae I don't stand on bugs anymore, I grab the camera instead :) But I can toast the life of the bug that would have been doomed before my life with a lens. :)

[Maggiemae]

@sugarmuser join me then, Sharon, here's to a bugs life! Isn't that a movie?.

[Jolly]

Great shot! Creative thinking, and I drank to that last night too :)

[Mags]

Not a gin drinker but I'll toast your lovely composition and the spider! Well done, Maggiemae!

[Pat Knowles]

No winking then just a last gasp for breath !!!! Love your gin drink. I have just had my shot for the day!!!!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

So funny -- we both posted spider pictures. Yours is funnier.

[Linda]

Nice shot!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I didn't want to say it, but I thought that spider looked dead! Sorry for your loss- but this is the way of life in the bug world. Here today, someone's dinner tomorrow!

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann You could quite possibly be right, Ann! He certainly stayed very still! Perhaps he was an old spider - dead now, though!

[Jim]

just be careful you know things always come back to life in horror movies

[David Pryde]

Alas poor spidey we knew you not,
Abseiling down walls you really are hot,
You met your end for the perfect shot,
And we salute you with a little tot.

[Maggiemae]

@doblaine David ! How good you are! Do you mind if I put this in the title?

[David Pryde]

@maggiemae sorry - please do!

[Maggiemae]

@doblaine Thanks so much, David!

[Pat Knowles]

Perfect Eulogy!!

[Sandie Reardon]

You weren't fooling when you said he was tired out from all your snapping. LOL This is a great shot and an excellent poem/tribute.

[Lyn]

How funny!!

[Maggiemae]

@lyno I actually feel awful about it now since @olivetreeann said that it probably was dead! I took a picture of it being dead!

[Kim]

Fun shot! Except for the spider!
