AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Not Big But Creepy!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ We have just had a flurry of Autumn storms over the weekend.
And, right after the storms cleared, I almost walked into this critter busily weaving across my front pathway in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.

Great photo, but ugh. Spiders are definitely not one of my favorite insects, not that I have a favorite insect. There are two spiders that I allow to live -- one is a daddy long legs and the other is a small one that is black with white spots. It's kind of a friendly little guy.

I've always wanted to take a spider photo but I'm too much of a coward.
