Day 60: Mom Would Have Hated This
Mom was deadly phobic about spiders. Just pictures of them would give her a horrible screaming case of the heebie-jeebies. I was trained, nearly from birth to exterminate spiders on sight. And yet despite all of this, I couldn't resist picking this creepy shot. This little guy (girl?) was hanging out by the front door. Far from the fearsome fanged beast you see here, this spider is pretty small. Maybe a quarter inch long at most. Without the macro lens, I couldn't even tell that it was red and speckled.
This may not have been the best shot I took today. Chances are that this shot was better. Or maybe even this one or this one. But the spider shot is the one that made my son start yelling "Ewwww!" And I just couldn't pass up that sort of warm fuzzy feeling to share with you all.
You're welcome.
