Funny that we went to the Jacaranda festival and I end up with my camera pointed down the petals of an agapanthus. But apparently I just can't resist a photo of a spider. Even when editing them gives me the full on creeps.
Speaking of spiders and things that will haunt my nightmares...
Sorry for the low quality shot - this giant hornet from hell was dragging the poor (and also quite large) spider by the face so fast that I didn't have time to get the right lens going. Why do I feel the need to photograph these things?!
These photos are meant to be viewed at full size. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the photo and it will open in a new tab. Holding down the Shift key will open it in a new window..
ReplyDeleteI agree with Andy, embiggen the image to get a full view of the horror that is in the second shot :) Nice work Aimee, it was moving away with its captured prey very speedily :)

ReplyDeleteDespite the dreaded spider within, these are amazingly beautiful photos -- especially #1.
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
Spiders give me the creeps too, but the photos are nice Aimee.
ReplyDeleteSpider Smackdown!
ReplyDeleteThose first to shots have some beauty to them in spite of the scary spider. The last shot is just scary all around. I do hate spiders and I think I hate hornets just as much. Don't feel bad, I took a photo of a spider crawling on a bench I was sitting on just the other day. I thought the same thing, why did I take a picture of that thing.
ReplyDeleteThe itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout....
ReplyDeleteA bit creepy... but incredible!! Great captures Aimee.
ReplyDeleteNasty spider!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about those hornets. Great to see one in action just so I'm not a spider. Your lens seems pointed at so many interesting sights.
