"And as you cross the circle line,
Well the ice wall creaks behind
You're a rabbit on the run.
And the silver splinters fly
In the corner of your eye,
Shining in the setting sun.
Well do you ever get the feeling
That the story's too damn real
And in the present tense.
Or that everbody's on the stage
And it seems like you're the only
Person sitting in the audience

Skating away, skating away, skating away On the thin ice of the new day"

Still | Scurry

(viewed 781 times)

This spider has been a resident of my studio for about a year. He rarely makes an appearance, and is usually moving too fast for a pic. This morning, he paused momentarily on the wall. I grabbed the camera, climbed up on my desk, and asked him to *please* stay still, then spent time colourfully cursing as I couldn't get focus...then finally *click*. I asked for one more shot, but he'd had enough and started to scurry off. I clicked another as he scurried away.

Thanks! The value of spiders is greatly underestimated in my opinion. :)

These are excellent shots of a funnel web spider.

They're going to give me nightmares, though.

Caine says:

Uh oh. Sorry about the nightmares. He's really quite nice and very quiet. Never bothers me. As you can see from the pics, I'm the one who bothers him! :)
