Visiting local color...

One NEVER knows what's coming down the driveway! Last night looking out from the couch, I saw Sam get up to check out something coming down the driveway. I could see it WELL from inside the house, but went out to get a picture!!! It looks like a young tarantula!

It was lucky to get away with it's life!! Visible motion gets lots of attention around here!!! Unfortunately I missed THE picture of Mia carrying it around in her mouth!!! We turned it loose in the field, so it got to live another day!!!!

    Shouldn't you be more worried about the pets lives and not the spider.. They are very poisonous- aren't they??

    Actually, the student pilots next door in our BOQ (back when I was a Lieutenant) kept a couple of tarantulss in a fish tank. Some people have them as pets!!! I don't think they're poisonous like rattlesnakes or black widows or brown recluse spiders.
