WW: Scary Spider at Elizabethan Gardens

Scary Spider Photo
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web."
 - Pablo Picasso

No, I didn't get that close to such a large spider. Ogre spied the web while we were walking through Elizabethan Gardens and bravely stepped in as photographer. He took the perfect Halloween picture for me to share during his birthday week.

    Great photo but -- shudder! At least it wasn't as big as your fist with two-inch fangs like the one in South American I was reading about the other day.

    While I know these are supposed to be "good" spiders, I still don't want to be near one *shudders*
    It is a beautiful shot though :)

    I am so impressed and amazed by the artwork that goes into making spider webs. As long as they are outside... :)

    She's so pretty :-) I always imagine spiders in their webs to be "she" - Maybe it's from reading Charlotte's Web as a kid?

    The spider does look intimidating, but he or she does make for a nice Halloween photo. Love the light orbs that are captured in the photo.

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter.
