Default Say Hello To My Little Friend (Warning, spider content)
Found this little guy on Sunday hanging around by the front gate. Took some shots then and a few more today. I love my Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro.

Thanks Bernz. I don't shoot macros very often but I love the results when I do. Just love getting that close up on tiny things. This guy is less than 1/2" long.

Spiders can be scary. That's why I put the warning on the thread. Don't want a DPSer falling over with a heart attack opening this and seeing this little guy.

That guy was quite scary. Yikes! What a thing to come home too. I'm sure he was a lot bigger than my 1/2" friend.
