When I first saw her, I thought she looked familiar. With the naked eye (and my glasses) and at a safe distance, though, I didn't see any markings. Whew! A black widow would really throw off my day. Ah, but this beauty is such a gorgeous specimen. So still, so sleek, so peaceful. She'd make an easy close-up nature photo for the blog. I grabbed the camera and took a macro photo. You know, way up close. Nose to nose with nature. Only when I magnified it on the image viewer did I spy the red hourglass on her belly. Talk about a close call!
