Yikes! I can't believe I'm posting a spider!

This guy was on my deck. I took several shots of him, but chose the least focused because it showed more of his funny web. In several spots it looks super neat but then near the center and some of the other sides it looks like he just gave up. Here you go @espyetta

Great catch! I First read "this guy was on my neck"... scary thought :-)

[Colleen]

Oh dear, we all get caught doing it at least once!

[Al Perry]

Nice shot & dedication to the cause.

[Tara]

@anzere03 That is a very scary thought! I got a little too close and he saw me and high-tailed it up his web and freaked me out!

[Tara]

@httpgeffed Yep!

[Tara]

@hollandcrew Ha - thanks Al!

[Laura]

Looks like he could be kin to the one on my deck. :-) And you're right about his home - definitely a fixer upper. Awesome capture!

[Tara]

@ljm I was too lazy to find out what kind of spider and honestly didn't want to peruse multiple shots of scary spiders. Thanks for commenting :)

[Janelle]

This is a great shot!!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

@turning_40 @kerristephens Thanks Ladies!

Ha ha ha, you've been bit by the bug shot bug! Resistance IS futile! He's really cool looking. Love the stripes.

[Carren]

I love the web as the total background! Very cool shot.

[Morgan]

Ah! I love it! I also like how you faded the border so that all the focus is on that incredible spider right in the middle. Such a nice job!

[Tara]

@m9f9l Thanks Mary. After I scared him away, I went in and got a sprayer to mist some water on his web to try and get some plain web shots, then I started feeling bad like I was messing up his web ; )) Thanks as always for your comments!

[Tara]

@nana2r @morganthailand Thanks Carren and Morgan. The web was what I saw first and then the huge spider in the middle. Thanks for your kind comments!

[Kathy Burzynski]

Wow, I have yet to take a cute spider! I would never thought it existed before 365! This is great - love the focus,

@m9f9l was that a quote from the daleks?

That's a great shot of the spider and its web! 8) I do find web-spinning spiders pretty scary. XD

[Tara]

@psychographer @bdb3471 @myautofocuslife @alwyn255 Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my creepy spider!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@anzere03 Lol french speaking redneck! So funny

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Yay for the spider shot! He must have spider attention deficit and just got tired of making the neat web. It does look a mess.

[Tara]

@espyetta I know right?! I thought that was so funny when I uploaded.
