    Holy Smokes that was a big spider....

    Not the ball python kind either. Dangit.

    I saw this in my pool this morning skittering around. Intially I thought it was a mouse! The thing was about the size of the palm of my hand and looked even bigger with all those babies on her back. I of course had to go running for my camera, and now I have to share with all of you.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    I always have a ton of spiders. In fact, I've been meaning to photograph a few of the other 'locals'. I leave the spiders because that means they're eating the icky bugs. (not to mention that's probably the fifth one I've rescued so far) This one was just IMPRESSIVE!

    I live in the country, so I've gotten use to the creepy crawlies. (well I still get the willies over the leeches ugh ) As long as they don't come in the house I'm perfectly okay with them, and suprisingly we hardly ever see a bug in the house.

    Yeah but you failed to mention it was covered in a buttload of babies. I can deal with one spider, just not hundreds all at once

    So there

    Thanks. I'm not a huge spider fan, but I love to admire nature.
