Spotted last weekend. I'm sure there are lots of spiders, yet I had never noticed one this big right in the middle of the city centre.
------------------
Vue le weekend dernier. Je suis sûre qu'il y a plein d'araignées, comme partout, mais je n'en avais jamais vu une aussi grosse en plein centre ville.
Ugly beast,great images. The first one is nice for the buildings in background, but the second is really great for the colors and the glimpses of the cobweb.
ReplyDeleteLa 1ere est belle avec l'environnement citadin un peu flou mais que l'on devine suffisammment bien
ReplyDeleteThat is one BIG spider. Amazing shot : )
ReplyDeleteYou are frightened of our little gators and a few sharks but spiders you can handle, heh?
ReplyDeleteYou did well here; it is hard to catch a spider in mid-web, so to speak!
I think she is beautiful! Anything that eats biting insects is a friend of mine... Lovely photo, great control of depth of field.
ReplyDeleteYikes - did you scream?!
ReplyDeleteThey are quite ugly. I wouldn't get that close.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find, and a wonderful composition. Interesting to see a city, not more plants, in the soft background.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots!!! I love them.

These garden spiders are great, handy to have them in the garden and wonderful webs they spin often across huge gaps.
ReplyDeleteJ'ai beaucoup de crainte que toutes sortes d'araignées!!!
ReplyDeleteMais vous avez fait un excellent photo!
Léia :)
Superb!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how much you notice when you carry a camer with you?
ReplyDeleteVery neat capture of the spider. Interesting to watch too. MB
ReplyDeleteNice shots. These spiders look great from close up
ReplyDeleteVery neat macro shot! I think spiders are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I'm going to have to rethink my plans to visit.
ReplyDeleteWow, that IS a BIG spider!!
ReplyDeleteI love spiders. I'm fascinated by the intricate webs they weave. Very nice capture.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! And applicable for the season we are in... Tried photographing the one outside my door and I don't think he liked it much! Thanks for visiting my site!
ReplyDeleteTillicum (WA) Daily Photo
Great shots...he looks like I can reach out and touch him, not that I'd want to,lol
ReplyDeleteCa me rappelle le vieux mythe urbain de la veuve noire qu'on trouverait cachée dans les bananes dans beaucoup de supermarchés! Je ne pense pas avoir jamais pris de photos d'araignées ou de toiles, ceci me pousse a le faire!
ReplyDeletevu la grosseur peut on dire espoir
ReplyDeleteGreat catch! I haven't seen a spider like that with such a big body before!
ReplyDeleteI also left a commnet below on one I missed yesterday.
beurk ;-))
ReplyDeleteah me I love spiders - how opinion about them is divided!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I hate spiders but they fascinate me at the same time. Fantastic background in the second shot.
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a sharp eye.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't walk into the web by mistake.
Heureusement qu'elles ne me font pas peur!!!!
