Sometimes “the best” comes right to you when you least expect it. And tonight, it did: I saw the most gorgeous spider I have ever seen, trying to get out of my kitchen sink!
She got out, but not before I forced her (without pay, make up and hair expert, or bottled water) to pose for several dozen photos with my macro lens. This beautiful creature was mottled brown with tiny gold spots covering her body, a bright red shield on her arrow-shaped abdomen, and a yellow jewel above her many eyes.
Oh, if spiders could kiss! "Darling, when I peer into your many compound and single eyes, it almost makes me forget your hideous mandibles and I could almost swoon. Ooooch! Why did you do that?"
