Not your normal warm & fuzzy critter, but he held still long enough to get a few good macro pictures, so he made the blog :) The little guy was hanging out on the road by my parent's driveway. He was probably about the size of a dime. Mom & I were excited by some Myrtle warblers in the neighbor's poplar trees and could've easily stomped the spider underfoot. I'm glad we didn't! I was surprised, because he was "facing off" with the camera lens, instead of turning tail and trying to hide.

this hirsute creature found its 5 minutes of fame, proving Andy Warhol's words to be true all over again :)
he seems to be basking in the attention, Ash....am sure, if he gets to see your rendition of him, he wont be disappointed :)
I am looking forward to leaving school now, Ash.....have had enough for now !!!!!
Great minds think alike, I just posted some spider pics. today. very nice by the way, I love the contrast of it on the gravel
This is a great shot, Ash. Very good focus. It's eyes are amazing.
I am not a fan of spiders.... I actually have quite a phobia about them.... but you really captured this one nicely. Such detail! Great shot!
Nice shot of this creature we often try to walk on...
This one is very "nice" or curious.
Great shot.
Thank you for your comments on my blog. I had your blog in my list of favorit.
Oh My Gosh! Sure looks creepy but glad you captured this :D
Wow! Great macro indeed. I thought he was a lot bigger than a dime, glad you told of his scale.
Yuck! Spiders are some of the creatures I can happily do without. It is a great shot though!
