Spiders

So I have a little fascination with spiders. I can't kill one without using some huge long stick but I can sit and watch them and just think they are so amazing. These are the cool spiders. They are the ones who make the huge beautiful webs. This is them taking down the hold and putting up the new. The first one Taylor calls, "the Momma" and the Second one is the "Daddy." The second one was bigger.

The Momma.


They where hanging out in our fruit trees, and they aren't poininous I looked them up.

Here's the Daddy (above and below)

So I went out a little later to see how their webs where coming, we'll the big ones weren't done but I found a couple of small ones sitting nice and pretty in their webs. So I took some pictures this is the best one. This spider isn't very big at all. Not compared to the Momma and the Daddy. But you can kind of see the web they make. It's amazing. Below is a lighter picture so you can see the web a little bit better. These are orb spiders of some kind.

I showed these pictures to the girls and Courtney said, "Ooh I want to go to Savannah's house so I can see these spiders." Courtney loves to look at bugs, but Kaylee doesn't really want anything to do with them. I guess she is more like me in that sense

I love seeing how big animals are. I love the pictures and by the way being homesick is okay. I get that way a lot too.
