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.

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
