to find and not to find

Bryan was out looking for something, but instead got a picture of this cloud...I love it.
We don't get many clouds like this often.

I wasn't looking for anything and saw this run across the floor and got a picture of it! UGH! The spider has red eye...zoom in on it.

I was too afraid to get closer than 10ft.

I may have to have Bryan crop it so you can see it.

Spiderphobia...

We found a web on the basketball hoop in the backyard the on Saturday and it was covered with baby spiders. Literally hundreds! So I sprayed some Blackflag spray on them and then the whole area for insurance purposes. We went out on Monday and this is what we found sitting on the top of the base of the hoop. Pretty nasty and creepy. I don't know what kind he was cause he blackened up in the sun over the weekend like a BBQ.




In this picture, the wind blew the spider just a bit right after I took the picture and I almost screamed outloud like a little girl.

Another Box Turtle trying to cross the road

This box turtle almost stepped out into the road in front of me. I had to turn around in the middle of traffic to go back and get him. Cambria and Maya called him Arley again. We have him wandering around in our backyard.

We found a 4 inch grasshopper yesterday. I knocked out the grasshopper and threw it in front of Arley. He devoured the whole thing. Cambria and Maya couldn't believe their eyes.
