I'm not good with spiders.
This is only just a macro shot ... the spider was huge.
I can't look at these any more. Even the photos freak me out.
You will find much nicer macro photos at Lisa's Chaos.

Macro Monday: Don't look if you hate spiders
This spider was hanging right next to my ear for about ten minutes before I noticed. I was able to stop shaking long enough to grab some photos, then I screamed like a little girl as I ran back to the car.

I wouldn't be good if this sucker was hanging by my ear either. You came through and delivered these striking images in spite of the fright. That's either dedication or a bit of creative crazy (both are good things).
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed that Macro Monday sometimes has inadvertent themes? I have spider pics today too. And I've seen one other post with a spider in it.
ReplyDeleteAnd now my true feelings... ewwwwww!!!!
ha! good job on braving the spider to get a picture - they came out great! excellent macros :)
ReplyDeleteSuffered for these photos! Good photos though.
ReplyDeleteIf it's this huge, I would have run away first!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I don't think I could have brought myself to photograph this thing. You're a brave soul.
ReplyDeleteI would have taken 35 shots - because my head would have been averted for all of them, and my eyes closed, and I'd be about a kilometre away!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning....I hate spiders a lot, but the warning cleared the way...I was ready.
ReplyDeleteExcellent
I played Macro Monday for the 1st time today...can you come stop by? If you have some time.

I don´t like spiders but I looked anyway, I prefer them in a photo. Great shots! :)

spiders get such a bad rap! this one is beautiful! awesome pics by the way!
ReplyDeleteWow! But I like spiders:-) Great photos on your spider. They´re awesome.
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty! Love the stripey legs! Well done for getting that one, I know they freak some people out!
ReplyDeleteSpiders creep me out too !
ReplyDeleteI don´t think that I have had the nerves to stay and take photos on that spider.
I probably just had run and screem :)
i love spiders, but i did take some pics the other week and decided not to post them! these came out great...but my arms would ache if i hung like that all day!
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos! I'm the same way, the camera squashes the fear a bit but then I'm off and running and maybe shaking as I look at the photos later, lol.
