Spiders

These baby spiders - were only about a pinhead in size!
My DIL (daughter in law) has come on board with me and pointed out this large family on the side of their house! So I set out with my camera!

Three good things:
1 I needed to do several things before my camera could focus on something so small and so close.
2. They seemed to be a yellow colour after downloading the shots!
3. A Tornado warning in the area turned out to be just an alert!
great find and super shot

@pinkpaintpot The more photo spotters you have in the family, the better, Linda!

they are so cute - they'll all be off on there own way now - they don't hang around long usually - glad it was just an alert!

@annied Be a bit icky to squash the whole family!
June 19th, 2017  
@maggiemae oh Maggiemae I don't squish hahahaha

They almost look like ticks! Tornadoes in Canada?! Oh my. I thought they were reserved for the lower 48 States. Lol.

@louannwarren And ticks have 8 legs as well as spiders! But a different shaped body, thank goodness!

OMG... now I will have the heebie jeebies for the remainder of the day! I don't like spiders. Not even babies! Still, you did a great job capturing them because it made shivers go down my spine!

@prttblues I would have sprayed them all, actually - think of all those baby spiders growing up and making cobwebs and babies all over the house!

@maggiemae They'll float off to make their own homes somewhere. If they float south to mine, they won't live long. They don't even get inside my apartment.

A great find and image

great find and shot

A nicely focused shot, they are colourful.
The river is this side of the bank that you see and quite a lot lower. The kids love it and the corner shop must make a fair amount judging by the amount of new nets you see each time we visit!

Awesome shot
June 19th, 2017  
Great capture!
June 19th, 2017  
Lovely shot of nature Maggie.
June 19th, 2017  
Great find!
June 19th, 2017  
Lovely focus on the tiny spiders xx
June 19th, 2017  
Did you count them ? 😁 Hope the tornado dies down
June 19th, 2017  
@philcameron59 You poked your finger at them, Phil and they scattered!
June 19th, 2017  
Some of them look like they are in free fall, some mummy spider has her hands or legs full!!
June 19th, 2017  
@happypat Yes, when you think about it, what do spiders eat? How does she feed a family of 500!
June 19th, 2017  
@maggiemae ha ha I have no idea! A google thing I think!
June 19th, 2017  
You can't kill spiders or the fairies come and get you! That's what my mum always told us so it must be true!

@judithg But I know how to stop fairies, Judith - you pour salt or sugar in front of them and they have to stop and count each grain!
June 19th, 2017  
Nice details. I don't mind them when they are small, it's the big spiders that bother me.
June 19th, 2017  
A wonderful close-up shot of them. You have done a magnificent job getting to detail down so well. Apparently you get all the correct things to get your camera to focus on them. Sorry to hear about your tornado warning. That something we are a bit used to hear and it sounds like you Got the tail end of the bad weather we have recently had
June 19th, 2017  
@grammyn So much to learn in this supposedly small camera. By making mistakes is the best way to learn! No tornados around the city though it was windy but not as windy as we can get it at home - blow you off the road!
June 19th, 2017  
@maggiemae glad you survived the wind
June 19th, 2017  
@grammyn the pot plants on the roof just managed to hang on!
June 19th, 2017  
So interesting, I wonder if they ever meet up again once they have scattered and gone their own way
June 20th, 2017  
They're just like the ones I saw in my garden, I encouraged them to scatter too but they liked being in a huddle better.
June 20th, 2017  
In my garden they'd probably survive but not in my house. That there are so many just makes me itchy! Good shot though.
June 20th, 2017  
@olivetreeann @onewing I expect they look all the same - no brain no pain!
June 20th, 2017  
@inthecloud5 After I had poked my finger at them, they shot back to the top and huddled together - all the better to spray, said the 'evil householder"
June 20th, 2017  
Kind of a cool picture! So interesting!
June 20th, 2017  
Fabulous focus on all these little ones. What a capture!
June 20th, 2017  
Creepy and run.
June 20th, 2017  
itty bitty teeny little spiders...
June 20th, 2017  
What a find! Have never seen so many so close.
June 20th, 2017  
I don't much like spiders, but this makes an awesome photo. I like their little yellow bodies against the green!
June 20th, 2017  
Wow, so very many spiders..you have captured their little yellow bodies so clearly
June 20th, 2017  
Nice macro.
June 20th, 2017  
Oh i hope you were far from a tornado !!!
