The Spider and the Astilbe

Sounds like a fairy tale or one of Aesop's Fables, doesn't it?

After all the rain yesterday there is sunshine this morning but the wind is still blowing a hoolie!!! Not easy taking flower shots!!!! Waited for a lull and captured this - as always, the arachnid was not planned but just came along for the ride - providing a little bit of dark interest.
Quite good on large

This day in 2003 found me still in The Detroit Area

This day in 2005 found me in Columbia, South Carolina

This day in 2006 found me in Wolf Creek Pass, Colorado

This day in 2009 found me near Lake Helena, Montana

This day in 2010 found me in Balboa Park, San Diego, California

If you have the time please take a little tour with me by clicking the above links - thank you.


The 'Cherry Thief' thanks you for his brief spot under the light yesterday but says that, unless he appears on Police Five or Crimewatch, he will continue to feed his beak!

Ooooh - 150 blips without a miss - feels like a milestone (or a 150-stone) but it's not official - still feels good to me though!
