The rainbow effect!
Featured in the group Arachnids in March 2009
Battling cobwebs in the Chicaque Park prompted me to perhaps stop and check out whose cobwebs I was ruining! I was amazed to find a whole myriad of different spiders and the most incredible colors! Here’s one!

Blair … heavens … it is GORGEOUS!!! And I remember reading your note on “rainforest” about the spider webs … this guy is incredible!!! But … are any of these things poisonous???? I mean … I know … I’m being a mom …
Blair Wainman replied
There were 3 in the space of 12 inches and at one point two of them were going to go at it! It did cross my mind that maybe this one was poisonous…and decided to keep my distance. I’m going to look it up on the internet and see what I can find! Thanks Lois…I appreciate your kind words and care!!

Wonderful depiction of one of nature’s greatest weavers. I love the depth of field in this! I’ll bet it would do well in the Bokeh group. Excellent detail Blair.

Incredible colours on this little fellow and wonderful clarity Blair…do take care…we dont want you getting a nasty bite
Blair Wainman replied
Thank you Lyn!! Yes, they say that things that have bright colors are poisonous…that’s a general rule of thumb so I just maintain my distance!!

Glenna Walker
Poisonous or not…I won’t go near any kind of spider…pretty colors and great shot…but I just don’t think spiders are “pretty”...LOL…I would have to have a long telescope lens to get this!
Blair Wainman replied
Thanks Glenna!! Lol!! You’re right…I amaze myself sometimes. It’s not the spiders that bother me though as much as the spiderwebs. I hate them and it’s the fear of the unknown…what kind of spider was in that one I just ran into?? If I can see the spider I’m okay…I can keep my distance!!
