I loved your reaction. She expected you to "do something", but she probably wasn't expecting your first reaction to be reaching for the camera. Can't say that I blame you. Pretty spiffy looking spider.
You are so funnnnnnneeeee Cro! Don didn't like spiders either...I used to try to convince him that they ate insects...he wasn't interested...nothing doing but I had to smooosh them! And show him the results so he'd know I hadn't cheated ;-)
Over here in the states I only concern myself with black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders!
THE BELLS ..... THE BELLS ..........

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
She is beautiful! (and eats lots of flies!!)
ReplyDeletePut a saddle on it and head off to town...

ReplyDeleteDefinitely NOT funny, Cro. You should be ashamed of yourself. Grounds for divorce, I reckon! ;)
ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spider but Yikes!
I don't think that the bathroom would be big enough for two.
I am siding with Mrs. M
It's funny how our first reaction now is to grab the camera!

ReplyDeleteSo what name are you going to give to your new pet ?

Bad Cro!
ReplyDeletespiders don't bother me at all. I'm glad they eat the damned black fly. I would capture it, though, and set it far far away outside.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I did Tara; but just outside our kitchen door.
ReplyDeleteYou devil!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed how something so small can seem to be so massive.
