    I honestly think you will begin to see more of me as the weeks and months progress.

    I may have, I will have to go back and look. This is actually a rather old image I just happened upon and wanted to post. It was shot with the 7i that was my first digital.

    I used to keep them as pets. The one you see there was one of mine. I took her out and rested her on a stalk of grass for a mini shoot. She was very cooperative.

    They give me the willies....Great shot though... How big is it? I know in pictures they seam SO big, but are quite small and hard find.

    Crazy, just crazy! Course I've seen the bite wounds and there is NO WAY I'd have them around.

    Cindy, my wife, was bit by a Brown Recluse and will always wear the mark on the back of her calf.

    Nice photo good color. I know it's not critique, but I'd chop a little of the green from the left side. :)

    Here is the only other shot I could find. She does look rather menacing.

    Cool, I don't think it looks as "scary" from the front :)

    if she were an Australian Redback she would. it's the same exact species, just in Aussie they have the red spot on the back of the abdomen.

    TRUE, it's the red that scares people, not the spider's size.

    She could sit comfortably on a half dollar.
