Day 147 – May 26, 2012

We’re still technically on vacation, even though the cruise is over.  We have a few more days at my parent’s house.  I was brave again today when I photographed another spider for this project.  I wouldn’t have believed it if someone told me I would have 3 photographs of spiders in 147 days.  I wish I could say something cool like, this project is helping me get over my fear of them, but unfortunately it’s not.  I’m still afraid of them.  

Day 107 – April 16, 2012

I went to take a picture of these pretty purple flowers my husband has been growing and I freaked out when I realized there was a spider on them.  Any spider that has bright colors usually means bad news, and for me, every spider means bad news, since I’m unnaturally afraid of them.  So I literally took this picture without looking.  I held the camera near the flowers and spider and backed my body up as far as I could. 

Day 42 – February 11, 2012

I hate spiders. There’s really no other way to put it. I almost couldn’t take this picture, and I was having an even harder time trying to edit it. Having to look at all the details and fuzzy legs [shivers]. Yup, I’m done talking about it. Let’s just say if I was working with daily ideas, I could cross off ‘fear’ now.
