spider





Little spider sitting in the sun, taking a rest before you spin a new web.
Using your special way to catch your prey so that you may live another day.
A web for me to see, I marvel at the trigonometry of the silky thread.
Yet little spider I've never heard you laugh and I've never seen you cry.

Is that a Whitetail? Here in Australia, & New Zealand, they can cause terrible flesh eating damage, & can make people very ill.

hi meggie
no its not a whitetail I'M UNABLE
TO TELL you its correct name
but we have many of them in the garden.
their body's are about 15-20 mm long
the macro lens & 8m pix camera makes it look a lot bigger. plus i would say this one ready to lay her eggs or
what ever spiders do here in the U.K.
I sound a bit thick now, LOL.

It's like you get into the head and brain of all the little creatures you capture with your camera. You have a way with nature and words.
