These beautiful spiders share our woods and often come into the house. We remove them quickly as the cat uses them for appetizers. When the female has eggs, she carries them in her jaws until they are ready to hatch. She then attaches the sac to something (walls work) and watches over her spiderlings and their wispy web for a few days.

I love nature, science, poetry, prose, art, music – you name it! Now that I’m retired, time is mine to spend as I wish (pretty much), and I wish to take pictures of our natural world.
Bringing the outdoors in for others to see, especially those who may not get the opportunity to wander next to a pond, fish at the beach, or tramp in the woods, is a pleasure. I hope to build a window to the wonders of nature that fill our everyday lives.
