    The spider is just plain gross. I'd never put my hand that close to a spider. You do deserve a medal for bravery. The grouse was almost tough to find in the first shot. He blends in pretty well. I really like the yellow lady's slipper. We have the showy lady's slipper in MN.

    thanks guys! the grouse i see everynow and again just standing in the road, they usually take their time to get out of the way to... unless i get out of my truck, then they run for it


    haha im not afraid of spiders, but that sure was a big one. and ive only ever seen one pink ladys slipper before i found 4 of these yellow ones. id love to see a showy though.
