Description

Hello ! This big lady (atleast 2½cm long) was very much alive while I hunted her around in my window, the other morning and I promised her to let her out, when I got a decent portrait of her, så atlast she stood still :)))) Thanks for having a look and for you nice and kind comments to my "Springland 7" yesterday. I am so grateful for your support. :))) Have a gorgeous day with exactly weather you dream about. That is what we have this morning. We are going to visit my poor little sweet mom again today to cheer her up. She broke her arm the day before yesterday. :-(

This is an excellent macro. I guess that it is a fierce animal that may be dangerous as Fractelaar said… You are courageous Helle, I won't have done the same. I hope your mom a better health and a full recovery as quick as possible!
