Wordless Wednesday...Why I don't live in Texas!

Lost by Oversight

Sometimes we get so busy, that we forget to look around. As a result, many of the mysteries of God's creation are lost to us.

 Way out in the middle of a field of snow, well away from any bushes or trees, this lowly little spider was trudging along. Why? Who knows?

Where did he come from? How did he get there? Again, who knows?
This little black speck caught my eye and stood out midst the field of white, going on about his/her business impervious to the cares of the world.

Just for you Arachniphobes

I am gradually getting caught up on the Acreage after the week's vacation in sunny (and hot) Texas. In the meantime, just a picture of a really cute water spider.

Arachnophobia, Anyone?

I've been watching this guy for a few days. Today he came out to dine on this caterpillar. This is the first time that I've seen anything eat these guys. Either the spider is very hungry, or has no taste.

 For all you folks suffering from arachnophobia, cheer up, there is probably one somewhere many, many, times his size, and hungry too!

Up close and personal! The camera lens is only about 6 inches away in this shot. I was hoping that it was a runner and not a hopper. Actually he is rather cute!

Sleep well, me hearties! They are out there!
