This is an ugly spider! He is hairy and the magnification of the macro shot has really given me a very strange feeling while working on these images...creepy and scary! I was fascinated with the beauty of the bee whch can sting but really bothered by the spider.!

The spider had spun his web on the balcony, between planters. It is the second web he has had out there, the other probably being destroyed by a storm (actually those webs seem pretty strong, though). Here are some shots of him and his web.
