Yesterday morning as I was taking the trash to the “curb” I noticed it was very foggy out. I looked up and this is what I saw:
I love this. So I took a minute and grabbed the camera for a few shots.
This morning Jacob and I had to take my car in for an alignment. We walked laps around the town square for two miles, and walked a mile home*. It was nice to have him walk with me, my normal walking buddy wasn’t there this morning. We were talking about how the preschool is doing a unit on bugs and insects and spiders and such. When we got home, Jacob was in the kitchen and told me he found something I can take to the preschool. There was this giant spider! It took a lot of convincing, but in the end he trapped it for me. I am too short to reach the celing even with a chair. It would not come out of the glass, so it will stay in there till I get it to the preschool (likely tomorrow). Here are some pictures.
The spider in his/her current home.
The face.
The tookus.
A side view.
One more.
Now, I do not know what kind this is, if any of you do know, we(I) would really be interested in knowing. In any case s/he can’t eat my food now.
*What I am not telling you is that we stopped for a healthy breakfast on the way home. It was good.
I don’t know what kind of spider that is, but the sunrise picture is really cool looking! Almost looks like a full moon, there’s so much fog! Nice shot.
I hope that is not a brown recluse! I don’t know my spiders, but Rob always warned me about those poisonous ones in Illinois! We miss you guys!
