just because

I really like this shot from last year
before I even joined 365 & I'm a bit out of inspiration, I'm posting my spider - I'm quite possessive of him as I've never found another one like him!

another interesting angle. :) nice one!

[Marlies]

beautiful macro!

[Paula]

Eeeeewwww, scarey but an amazing macro. Nice how you have captured the sun peeping through the web and onto the spider. Great capture!

[David Pryde]

Great capture - he has nice striping and its a clear focus. Can see why you are possessive but I can see a better one still in you to be unleashed.

Eek! Youy are very brave, Hazel! But beautiful capture with the sun and the detail of his web.

@flinch @marlies2 @creativeamateur @doblaine @thursday Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I've sometimes give a bit of thought as to why humans are afraid of spiders but all I've come up with is that they move quicky - any advanced ideas on this? I'm not actually frightened of them but have to call Ray if I find one in the bath as I'm not brave enough to pick it up and put it outside.

@doblaine thanks for extra encouragement but think it will not be yet - where have all the spiders gone? What do they do when it rains?

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

They get 'washed out the spout' of course (like Incie Wincie)! Looked it up for you, it's a Garden spider ( another name Orb spider).

@tishpics oh thank you - I am becoming very knowledgeable through 365.
