Garden Spider

most impressive macro

brrrrr
( I hate spiders)

Sorry 'bout that Annemarie............but glad you like the shot anyway!

Happy safe weekend :)❤️

Thanks Annemarie..........you too.

I am shuddering, but at least this one isn't a house spider. Then I'd be on the point of hysteria. ;-)

Sorry...........but thanks for looking Amelia :-)

Beautiful - and quite scary - close-up Keith.
Amazingly sharp details.

Thanks Jaap.............much appreciated.

superbe macro

Thank you so much Dan!

Woooah! I'm afraid it would have to go if it was guarding my bin Keith, although I try not to disturb them if they are outside...if they are inside however, they have to be taken out! I can still appreciate your the superb detail in your picture, especially the web ;-)) My daughter has handled a tarantula, yet she freaks out at house spiders!

Have a good weekend Keith.

Glad you can still appreciate it Rosa.........sorry if it freaked you out a bit!

An impressive close-up, Keith !

Glad you approve Ulrich.........thank you.

Joli piqué et beaux détails.

Thanks very much Jean louis.

Ha, ha.........it's only dangerous if you're an insect Berny...........glad you like it.

Wow Keith, a well-fed specimen of these spiders. Mine here still has to eat something...

A great closeup of this spider that really makes it look somewhat scary!

Great Macro shot Keith. I think garden spiders make great subjects. Your photo is pin sharp - Excellent.

Glad you like it Ed...........and thanks for commenting. I have quite a few to choose from - I can barely walk the length of my path without walking into a cobweb!

A mnagnificent photo of a magnificent spider!

Thank you very much Eunice............I'm pleased you like it.

Goosebumps...that´s what this photo makes :)))
Ok, it can´t come out of my laptop so I will have a closer look and....brrrrrrrrr :)))))

Großartiges Makro, detailreich und knackscharf!

Great shot! I accidentally killed a fat spider like that yesterday, when I was sweeping dead midges off of my porch siding. I actually felt badly. I think it was a cat face spider, which has a fat body like that one, and it happens to be the same color as the wall of my porch..

Glad you like it Diane. I had to google "cat spider" as I'd never heard of it - but now it's easy to see how it got it's name. We don't have them in England, but it's very similar to some of our garden spider varieties. A shame about the one you accidentally bumped off - but I expect there will be another along soon :-)

As kids we believed that if you killed a spider it's bigger brother would come along and get you, but you should be OK........................I hope!
