Joanne Olivieri said... [Reply to comment]: That is incredible with those exciting details. If you have a super macro lens, that means you got within an inch or so away from him. If so, you are the brave one.; Sunday, October 10, 2010
Jama said... [Reply to comment]: I seen one similar just yesterday, but since I don't have a macro lens I stay away from it. Don't want it jumping on my camera!; Monday, October 11, 2010

James said... [Reply to comment]: I guess it's beautiful in it's way but I just can't get over the creepy feeling that I get from spiders. It's great photo though, a powerful image.

I'm going to spend a few weeks in Europe. I leave next week and I hope to take enough photos for a year or so of posts on my Something Sighted blog. So I'm going from mostly black and white to European photos (probably mostly Paris). The photos will be in black and white and color. That's my plan. :); Monday, October 11, 2010
Julie said... [Reply to comment]: Lovely light here, Bill. There are few things sweeter than morning light on the dew of a spider web.; Monday, October 11, 2010
Sharon's Mum Anne said... [Reply to comment]: Sweet is the last word I would use to describe a spider even though it's harmless!! It's the speed at which they run that bothers me!

I'm curious, do you just sit there with your camera waiting for bugs to come into view and then snap them? If that's the case you're both patient and clever.; Monday, October 11, 2010
Ryan said... [Reply to comment]: I'm not so sure this little critter is harmless to people if the wife saw this in her bath, she'd have a heart attack!!!; Monday, October 11, 2010
