this is just brilliant roger .. a wonderful just about eerie image .. love the colouring .. :)
ps .. i found the wolf spider on our bathroom floor .. i took photographs of him there and put him in a glass overnight because i wanted to use him for the macro challenge & the one's on the bathroom floor didnt appeal to me ... i didnt get around to photographing him the next day so i let him go outside .. the day after that i saw a suspiciously similar looking spider on the floor in the hall .. i put a glass over him overnight & in the morning took photographs for the point of view challenge coz i'd got the dragonfly by then .. so that's the story of the wolf spider .. he was getting a bit anxious i think coz the last photographs i took of him i had to take thru a glass .. whenever i moved it away he made a dash for freedom ... after i finished with him i took him outside and let him go .. apparently they can give a very painful bite ..
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !! .. :)

ahhhhh .. an old dog .. i'm happy that you love him and take him for those excellent walks ... we have an old dog called sasha, she's a cross bull terrier/rhodesian ridgeback/cattle dog cross .. or so the vet thought when she was 6 weeks old ... anyway .. she's now 14 and i'v gotta tell you that the odours that waft from both ends are so powerful that i feel like a bad person coz i dont like to get too near her .. the odours arent helped along by her constant grazing on a miriad of different types of animal droppings in the paddock ..
me, katee and sashy go for a walk on the firetrail nearly every day and we all enjoy those times a lot .. katee coz she's a dog .. sasha coz she is able to partake of even more and different types of revolting things .. & me, coz i'm actually able to be with sashy in the open air, which greatly reduces the intensity of her odours .. altho i can still smell her if she's within a metre of me even if there's a slight breeze .. the vet thought she'd be gone in a year, two years ago, so she's a tough old buggar .. we do love her .. i just wish i could cuddle up with her and give her hugs without feeling nauseous .. its a sad thing when a beloved pet declines .. :)
