the hitchhiker...

<insert gloomy music>

Tuesday night I left work at 8pm which is normal for me and started driving home which is 50km away... i traveled about 2 km and out of the corner of my eye i saw something really bigclimbing up the side window RIGHT NEAR MY HEAD!!!
I turned in absolute shock to face the intruder to find a huge huntsman spider....

I hit the freeway. 80km/h and its still clinging on.... 100km/h and it started sliding down teh window... 120km/h and i swear it is sinking its fangs into the rubber surrounds to stay on the car... this spider stayed on teh car all teh way home and then disappeared, untill yesterday! I opened the hatch of my astra to find the spider sitting in a gap there trying to stay dry... naturally i grabbed teh camera

taken with the d40 and my 55mm macro lens....


AND on a very positive note, cheryl has now bought her own d40 so we dont have to share god bless her! she got a silver d40 with the kit lens, it also came with a 55-200mm VR lens
sweet!
