Hello! My name is Jodie. I live in Minnesota where the temps can fluxuate by 20 degrees in one day. Most of my photos have been taken very close to my home, a 10 acre hobby farm., where I raise Alpacas and chickens. I am a band director, a musician/singer and a photographer/adviser on the yearbook committee. My camera of choice is a Nikon. I have a D90 and a D70. I also have a SB800 flash and favorite lens is Nikon 18-200mm AF-S, with VR. Revisiting the visual arts is something I should have done years ago. If I see something remarkable, I just try to capture it. Nobody else will ever see it quite that way again so I hope you try that, too. This is just like expensive therapy for us. Thank you for visiting and may you have a peaceful day!

Wow, great work!

A lesson for little grasshopper, eh? Nice capture, albeit, a bit terrifying to think about. Guess there are some things worse than beginner's band.

A beautiful gruesome capture. Good find.

Just beautiful shots. They are amazing creatures, even thouh most people have phobias about them. Best part is, they eat flies which only have two purposes in life, to eat dung and bother people. Really a nice catch.

An excellent capture - a scary but harmless spider :)

Nice shots and it is indeed a female. The males are much, much, much smaller. Thanks for sharing. Lee

Ewww .. I had a spider exactly like this once living by our pump .. that was back when I wasn't 'heavy' into photography; hindsite tells me goll dang it, I wish I had taken a picture of it !!! Instead I just named her Charlotte and admired her every day ... till she was no longer there. Great shot of your Charlotte Jodie. Pretty girl she is.

I do not like spiders too. I was six years old and walked into one of these type of webs. I tried to break free but could not. I looked and saw the spider as big as me comeing at me. lol I got free and ran as fast as I can. The spider was as big as this one big in fear at six year old I saw it was as big as me. cool shot

I would hate to run into one of these, but I'm sure if I saw one I'd be right out there taking photos just like you!!!!! excellent image, I have the same lens, it's great!!!!!!!

A handsome arachnid, I must say! Beautiful thorax textures and a nice couple of captures of the creature busily doing whatever spiders do. Congratulations on the new lens. They come in real handy in these situations. BTW, is that a coiled telephone wire hanging from its web?

Great close up of a beautiful lady! You even showed the strong silken thread zig-zagging, I think it's called "stabilimenta" and scientist still speculate as to its real purpose. Excellent photos and presentation. Oh yes, and I should add they are rather docile creatures despite their hasty movements when retreating.
