It's well worth it.</div></div>Now anybody who has been around or read my blog for long knows how I feel about spiders. Monstrous, loathsome creatures that are out to eat me. My Darling Wife took a picture of a web day before and I have to admit that it's a wonderful picture. The great redeeming feature of the picture is there is no spider in it.<br />n<br />nNow opposed to this is a picture from yesterday of a <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/spider08202005.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/spider08202005.jpg','popup','width=710,height=800,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">spider eating its prey</a> that she got. Quality wise it is a great picture but the subject gives me the willies.<br />n<br />nHere is one I snapped of a <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/redroses.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/redroses.jpg','popup','width=720,height=620,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">red rose</a>. I printed it out and gave it to My Darling Wife and told her it's better then the real thing, it will never wilt.<br />n<br />nThe kids horse, Nylon, was not to sure he wanted to <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/nylonbug.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/nylonbug.jpg','popup','width=720,height=520,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">come into oats with the boy standing there</a>. He usually means work for him and Nylon avoids that at all costs.<br />n<br />nAnd last on the parade of pictures is a failure. I noticed yesterday morning that a full moon was out so I stepped out and tried to get a picture of it. The picture of the moon was a failure but look at what I got. <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/moontrees08202005.jpg" onclick="window.open('http://www.nowherethoughts.net/pics/moontrees08202005.jpg','popup','width=1220,height=820,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false">The moon's light backlit two trees in my yard</a> and gave me a wonderful picture. It might have been a failure if I wanted a shot of the moon but what I got was even better if you ask me.<br />n<br />n<b>Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
