This is the first time I've taken any pictures of a Popup Link

spider. He had a huge Popup Link

web that I couldn't get all of, but here's Popup Link

most of it.
I got inside the bushes and went behind his web and got his Popup Link

backside

Yeah, well, I'm proud of ya for gettin' a shot of a spider.......did 'ja have to make it such a BIG file???? That thing almost jumped off the screen into my lap! dang........ :) These are good shots, even if they are a bit scary! I really like most of it; webs are hard to capture.

I heard someone pink with a nice camera & big shoe was out slappin at the bushes just before the spider disappeared.

That is one gorgeous spider. the shot from the side was very, backside was the winner for. Too bad that Pink had to chase him away. He'd make a nice pet. And yes I did have tararanclla-her name was Martha Davis-

Goodness! These shots are awesome, gave me chills and the hair stand up on the back of my neck, especially the first one! My eyes were messing with me when I first opened it, looked like the legs were twitching!

like b/w best, but they are all great, getting a good web shot is not an easy thing to do.
