I'm not sure if a weekend can go by without work calling and fucking it up. I woke up in an unusually good mood this morning. EL and I went for a walk today near the creek and ran across a effin huge spider...
I wasn't really in the photo taking mindset, but I almost always bring a camera with me now days, so I snapped a few shots.
One turned out, but the rest were crap without a tripod. We were in a very shaded area of the woods. Anyhoo, the cool thing about this spider was the web. It was so complex and very strong... like fishing line. It was filled with tens (maybe hundreds?) of baby spiders of varied size and color. Apparently, this was the momma. Anyhoo, the lens cap is off the 28-135IS which has a
72mm filter size. That's one big-ass spider! (sorry Sam and Sean)
EL saw a stick bug of some type that had the coolest mantis style head on a swivel. Very interesting.
We saw a couple of deer... one doe and one fawn... spots and all. I even got a couple of robber fly shots. I find that I get really frustrated and hurry my shots when I'm all hot and sweaty. A heat index resting around 120 degrees Fahrenheit will tend to do that to you. I'm not trying to make excuses, but I see a trend in the quality of my photography when I'm uncomfortable.
Did you hear about the elevator guy? Some doctor was walking into an elevator after this lady walked in and the door shut and pinned his shoulders. The elevator went up and decapitated the guy, trapping the lady in the elevator with his head for a while. Freaky shit. Anyhoo, gotta run.
Found you via Jett’s page, blogrolled you. Great pics!
