My children and I were standing in line at Walt Disney World in Orlando waiting to get Donald Duck's signature. I saw this guy sitting in the bushes and had to shoot him.

*figured out how to make the picture work

Fay, your tarantula is cute.

Still looking for a macro lens.

Thank you! And..Fay is my tarantula... =P

I'm very new to photography, so I'm getting used to my camera. Once it...likes me...Then I'll get cool stuff for it. Hehe.

I've got one more of Fay and I that I'd like to post!

[Gary_P]

Sorry about that.
Ok, well then Fay's owner is cool too.

The black and white shot works.

I just love how Fay turned out in that picture! She looks like the bad ass tarantula she is. :3

I am so fricken scared fo spiders, like the one on the revious page. But the trantula is cute

^^Awesome of you and your pet.

I'm not completely frightened by spiders, but I won't even touch a daddy long legs. I won't kill them, I just know that there are more tarantulas that aren't deadly like many spiders.

And tarantulas are furry. So I agree with the whole cute factor, danidabi.

Actually a daddy long legs is more poisonous then other spiders but it's fangs are so short that it can't bit you.
They make good pets too. LOL
It eats other spiders like those small hairy ones (unlike the cute ones like Fay).
It just sits there motionless until another spider passes, then it's lunch.
But don't feel bad, a lot of people have 'arachnophobia', or the fear of spiders.

Me? I'll pet anything. I'm scared of humans. We're the only animal that will kill for fun. I gather them up and take them outside. Spiders eat the things that bite me.

Just wait till summer. Still looking for a good macro lens that I don't have to order.
