Arachnophobia

So there I was, taking a few more bee pictures, when I slowly realised I was being watched myself by this chap. I am really not good with spiders at all so I took a couple of pictures and sidled out of way in case it went for me. I have to say though that he (or she) does have kind-looking eyes. And I never thought I'd find myself saying that about a spider!

Larger if you can handle it (I certainly can't).

In other news, I have discovered that if you drop your mouse in a glass of cider it dies...

It's a beautiful day here in Hampshire and I'm looking forward to getting out on my bike this evening.
