HI Bob - the spider was only about 3/16ths of an inch in size, so in person he was not formidable. Thanks for looking! Mark On 4/14/2015 12:36 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Hard to look at...arachnophobia kicking in, but most interesting. On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 3:36 AM, Brian Walters wrote: Quot

Thanks everyone for your opinions; with a few notable exceptions there isn't a great deal of love for this shot. I sort of like it myself. In the circumstances I wasn't sure whether I should bother taking the shot or not. I'm glad I did, and will continue to do this sort of thing in the absence
