All spiders have fangs for which they inject their victims and chew their prey with, so they can all bite, but this spider has such small fangs you may feel a small nip but it wont hurt unless your a fly that is :shock: ive had a Theraphosa Blondi (Giant bird eater) whos fangs were 3/4 of an inch long and that would have hurt if it bit you! :shock:

Yep, it is a beautiful scene. She used either a Pentax 35mm camera (SLR?) and put it on disc, or our new (at the time) Agfa digital. I don't know which one. The Northern California coast is where the Redwoods meet the Pacific ocean and it's an amazing place. Wet though, with an average annual rainfall of around 90 inches.
your probly best of copying it in to photoshop or what ever edit program you have maybe even paint then just "save as" and change the file type to jpeg
A selection from this year around the village:
Snow? Nope, The downy seeds from the poplar trees filling the sky. Playing with sepia.
This is snow! Up on the local Aubrac hills (up to 1300m) in February. It has arrived again this week but not in the village (450m) which is set down in a small valley.
The 'Cascade' or waterfall of our village with the Spring rains running
The Aveyron is rich in wildflowers, especially orchids. A bee orchid species called the 'Woodcock Orchid'
A locally common orchid which covers the Causse here in Spring. Common but beautiful
Morels picked in the Spring when the moss is such a vivid green.
Stormy summer day on the old tracks on the Causse (limestone plateau). These were wild and dangerous regions in the old days. Not so dangerous but still dramatic and mostly unspoilt, tough terrain.
Summer storms passing overhead and the sunshine returns once more
Hedge apples ready for picking. All the hedgerows here have fruit trees and nut trees planted in them and a lot of self-seeded offspring. They were part of the productive landscape
The village 'châtaigne ramassage'. My son and a friend carrying the harvest from a recent village sweet chestnut forage (over 10kgs, I was impressed with their determination to carry it 1 km between them!). Most of the kids and families came. Afterwards they were roasted over oak wood fires and enjoyed by all! Really wonderful to share these experiences with others and especially younger generations. Keeping the knowledge and old ways alive.
All taken on a digital Nikon D100. Next year I plan to learn up on macrophotography. Bit like Bushcraft; best just to get out there and practice cock ups and all ;-)
