Spinning Gold...Or My New Favorite Spider



A spider with impeccable taste in home location.


I'd love to live in the middle of a beautiful, aromatic lavender plant.


In a house spun from gold.


At first she was shy, hiding from me as I sat down to take some pictures.  As I moved a little left or right, she'd duck the other way.  After a couple minutes though I guess I was perceived as Not A Threat and I think she was proud to show me her "finished item" :-).  I believe she's a Jumping Spider.

Astounding series! That last photo gives me chills. Fascinating, and shudder-inducing at the same time.

Alice said...

Stunning capture in that last photo!
I think she is smiling with pride
Perhaps her name is Rapunzel ;-)
Card and calendar worthy.

Wouldn't that be the greatest place to winter over? Do spiders winter over? I love her little round house...kind of a spider geodome. Great shots. Kisses to the sheep. And dogs. And cats. Not the chickens.

Spooky spider! At first I thought it was on a leaf is that a nest? Creepy either way. But great shots.

Okay, I hate spiders but I have to admit that one is cute. By the way, your camera is AWESOME if it can take pictures that close.

It is so good to hear from someone who can appreciate a nice spider. I am quite fond of them myself, thanks for the lovely photos. That is just the way I like to appreciate lavender as well, it doesn't make me wheeze from this distance:)

Terry said...

Wow! I can see her through your photo better than I ever could with my own eyes. That's a treat. Thanks.

Michelle said...

What great pictures!! I'm intrigued by spiders and I love to get pictures of them because they do seem to have a little personality, but I am a little nervous around them--Especially one that can jump--YIKES!!

Sheepmom said...

I love her! She's gorgeous! One of the most photogenic spiders I've seen. And what a great capture of a tiny little story out in the garden. Thanks for the treat.
