The strange spider

The strange four legged spiderThis is a photograph from a few years ago. I came across this four legged spider that was skilfully wrapping a fly that got trapped in its web. The fly ended up in a tight cocoon made out of web strands; I am sure it served as a tasty meal later on.

I went away wondering why the spider only had four legs. The spider did not look or act like it had been injured. Is there a breed of spider with just four legs?

I would have done some more investigating, but I actually do not like spiders very much. Taking a photograph of one is an achievement in itself!

Working outside

The canopy of the trees
This is from an equally nice day as today in 2004.

I was working outside under the canopy of the tree. I took this picture looking up at it.

Summer time

The flowers
I love the summer. The only downside for me is that I get hayfever which is a drag.

Perhaps it is a small price to pay for the beautiful things mother makes for us to see in the summer.

These are some flowers I photographed on Sunday afternoon.
