I can remember so many encounters with spiders, especially when I was a child. Their nests in a stone wall were always on my list of places to visit....ah, those summers with nothing to do! Beautiful work and description, Carol!

Carol Senske replied:

How true. The halcyon days of summer are mostly reserved for the young and innocent:>). Many sweet and gentle memories! Hope you are all well:>)

I admit I didn't know what I was doing way back in 2011! I was so anxious to learn compositing! I am STILL anxious to be good at compositing - LOL. Thanks, Jack.

Really different and well done Carol. F V & T ... Elaine PS: On my tweet I wrote, "View Spiders as ART! "

Carol Senske replied:

LOL- You may end up driving folks away from your site - arachnophobia is rampant out there:>) I do so appreciate your support, especially since I don't do social networking at all. Thank you, my dear, for the kind comment and the V/F/T!!! Much appreciated!

Carol Senske replied:

Thanks so much, Andrew:>) I constantly "play" with pictures as that's how I learn. You're so kind to come by and comment:>)

Hi, Elfriede:>) I'm traveling and have taken a moment in a coffee house to check on things - thanks for the wonderful comment! These spiders are found in your area and you probably do get them in your house sometimes. Here is a good picture of one that may help. I love bugguide!!!! http://bugguide.net/node/view/52988 We enjoy them and think they're beautiful. They get caught and put outside or the cat snacks on them. They are wonderful moms:>)

Just saw your spider portfolio, fabulous and fascinating. Strangely enough I am not afraid of most spiders. I had one similar to this in my laundry room downstairs not long ago..it was quite large, since we live in the country, lots of woods trees, I am wondering if it may have come in...so interesting, your images are awesome !

You spend way too much time with spiders dearie. lol

Carol Senske replied:

Perhaps it was that bite . . .

They are also excellent mothers, carrying the egg sac in their jaws until the spiderlings are ready to hatch. When the time comes, she attaches the sac to an upright surface and as the babies hatch they build a messy nursery web to live in for a few days. Mom sticks around until the spiderlings are ready to move out. I sometimes don't get the Mom with her eggs outside in time, and we have little spiders dropping from a ceiling somewhere. We try to move quickly when one appears because the cat will eat them if we don't capture it and relocate it. They are actually shades of brown and yellowish. They shouldn't be feared. Although they have large, strong jaws, we've only been bitten once in 44 years (when I put my foot in my shoe without checking first during the peak of their population cycle). It was like a mild bee sting and my fault.

You've made her look beautiful with her pink and yellow spots.

This comment must be a year old and I've missed it for that long! Apologies, Sharon, and many thanks for your patience:>)

Thanks for the info. I had no idea they really are pretty big. You have given me an appreciation for these creatures. And thank you for your Christmas wishes. I wish you the same!

Very interesting. The spider looks huge!

Carol Senske replied:

In real life these ladies (males are much smaller) can have a leg span of 3 inches, easy. She's a Dolomedes tenebrosus. Although they're commonly called fishing spiders, they are more appropriately thought of as spiders of the woods - wandering hunters. I think they are beautiful:>) Hope your Christmas is a wonderful one!
