heh heh, well, all that and something like 300 days of sunshine a year, so it isn't all bad! :)
"Healthy respect" is a good thing for the kids to learn....

Hi Andre -
I believe that our area is part of some greater desert. We might get 16 inches of precipitation (rain, snow) per a very wet year. However, habitats change rapidly with the equally rapid elevation changes. I'm right on the edge of an alpine valley that drops off into a rocky canyon lands. It's a nice place, but like everywhere, more people all the time.
The Texans used to think they owned the state until the Californians bought them out! Ha!
Cheers,
Kes

Great shot Kes . . . I love these guys!! I have a shot of one on my granddaughter's head you might enjoy (http://www.usefilm.com/image/1085583.html). Like you . . . we have respect for all these creatures . . . and the fangs on the tarantulas are shiny, black and long! LoL! and sharp. And venemous. but . . . how cool they are!!! Well done . . . nice work!
Regards,

I have just read your mini list of other delightful creatures, black widows etc......Well seen and taken and it's great to note that your kids are raised not to fear these things. Well done dear friend. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray:)

Hi Kes,
It shows you how much I know... I just assumed they were desert, or tropical critters. It must be because of all those cheesy adventure movies when they show them falling out of trees. Always on some knock-out starlet in a slinky tank top. :)

Hi Andre, yes, this is in Colorado! :) Every year at about this time they "migrate", or at least can be seen crossing roads. I don't know if they are looking to hole-up for the winter, or what!

Hi Kes,
Great shot of this little monster. For some reason I thought you lived in Colorado. I guess not :) They don't have these in Colorado... do they?
We don't have anything near the size of tarantulas here in Ontario. We do have some pretty ugly dock spiders that get to be a bit bigger than a silver dollar. Ugly as sin.

Hi Renato! oh, I'm not all that keen on these bugs either! It was just an unusual subject and so I took the opportunity to get a few shots.
I'll try to take a look at your older images while you are away.
Cheers,
kes

Oh, thanks so much, Robert! This is just a fun shot...sort of a "dark" subject, but just playing around a little here.
All the best my friend,

Very nice colours and details, I prefer the second
shot. "Tarantula on my foot" titled one, but I do not
like the spiders, this one is impressive creature.
Thanks for your great story for this shots, well
captured and presented. Well done dear my friend.
Have a nice day dear Kes,
Robert

Thanks Alicia! The tarantulas don't "bug" me to much...it is the Black Widow spiders, the rattlesnakes, and the scorpions that are a real pain!

When set down in the yard, Mr. Spider headed west. I was laying on the ground in front of it with it crawling right up to the lens. When it got too far away, I would let it crawl on my foot and then walk back to the better lit area of the yard.
