Dailies May - Dec 09
Thursday 11/12/09 - I took this one just a few minutes ago. The sun is out and I was resting before going over to the hospital and I wanted to get a picture of a beautiful purple cabbage my cousin Cathy planted for me on Tuesday morning. The sun was not right for that but I saw this little bugger and got him instead. Will do a few more as the light changes. I was so excited to just get my camera out!!! I am kinda weak and a little shakier but went for it any way. Will have to find my tripod and use it. Makes me really wish I had a macro lens but oh well it is what it is. This is with my 300 fully extended so at least I did not have to get close to this. I have an adversion to spiders; I leave them alone if they are not in my space.
Hope you are having a great day.

Note - 20 minutes after taking this I went back outside to check the lighting and the spider is gone. I heard birds chirping near by..so he may have become lunch or perphaps he is in hiding. I will check again later and keep you informed.
PM Note - Lisa is home and we are both resting. Unfortunately for this spider it was some little birdies snack. RIP

on November 13, 2009I love how you can see the web he's spinning. Great crop and framing too.
So glad Lisa is home.

on November 13, 2009I have to be honest and say I don't think I would have gotten close enough to use a macro and I was not all that sad when he disappeared.

on November 13, 2009Courageous shot. If you had a macro, would you have really used it on him? You are far more courageous than I. :D I'm glad to know that Lisa is home.
