Sleeping...
This morning I found this spider sleeping on my ‘honey pot’ poppy seed pods and so the next thing I did was get the camera out of course! This photo is 100% natural and untouched.

beautiful work Basia – love the golden tones – sorry i am not around as much as usual to comment – just sooo busy – you know how it is :)

Thank you Deborah! Know how you feel, I’m not here as much as I’d like to be since I’m house hunting since we need to move ASAP!

A fabulous capture – tones are gorgeous…not a fan of spiders myself..this is a tad too close for my liking..lol

Thanks Naomi! I must admit, I like (non-poisonus) spiders! ;o)

Great pic Basia, not sure I’d fancy having them around too often, hope thats not the reason you need to move!
Basia McAuley replied
Thanks David! Don’t mind them at all and NO that’s not why we are moving ;o) The landlord sold the house from under us! :o(

You amaze me Basia! This is wonderful!

Another fantastic image by the talented Basia. Didn’t know spiders actually slept…always see them on the run here. Must be because they know I am out to get them!
Leah Highland
Wow!
Basia McAuley replied
LOL! They sure do sleep…. at our house at least, I think it’s a haven for them as we don’t kill them.
Paul Tupman
Wow.. great capture Basia.. love the detail in this.. amazing to see all the tiny hairs in great focus.. love the tones in this too.. great work.

Thanks Fir!
Denzil
I love this! I’m not scared of spiders (so long as they don’t run at me), and can’t wait to catch the next big huntsman with my new camera!!! Snakes now, that’s a completely different story :(
Basia McAuley replied
Thanks Denzil! Glad there’s someone out there who isn’t afraid! Not really scared of snakes either.. Need to find one first though!
Jodie Carruthers
Great shot
Betty Mackey
Great photo! Your spider must have an eye for color to camouflage himself so well.
