Hi, my name is Kathleen...
It's hard to say who I am at the moment, going through another identity crisis, so for those who have read my bio in the past... it's changing. haha!!
I express a lot of my emotion in my art, but also just enjoy photography for the love of capturing moments that are lost so quickly otherwise.
I love Renderosity, have really enjoyed the forums and just the all-round friendliness of everyone here :-)
Thank you to all who encourage me and support my contributions - many times I've expressed doubt as to whether they should even be uploaded, but I have received tremendous encouragement and that's what keeps me going :-D
Please, if you have a moment, have a look on this website... it's self-explanatory, and appalling.ÂÂ

People really need to be made aware of what is going on here.

Hmmmm I am really not a spider person. I don't hate them but I am scared stiff of them! I am breaking out in a layer of sweat just watching this! As an animal lover though, I must admit she is stunning looking. Does she bite?

great photo!!!

She hasn't bitten us yet - and I doubt she will. The Chilean Rose is the best tarantula to own because they're so laid back :-)

Excellent capture.

never seen this type of tarantula before, she's a beauty. We had the more common type of tarantula, with the oranges. I wasn't afraid to handle her, but let me come across a little house spider and I used to freak out. (glad I'm over it now, my fear used to draw them to me like a magnet. Now I draw bees to me)

A great shot but for some reason I became all itchy looking at her though I dont think I have a phobia towards spiders.

That is something else as a pet! I would be hesitant, the camera lems get closest for me! Cheers, Clive

WONDERFUL! I may have remarked before that I dare not keep one as a pet as I have become allergic to insect hair in later life! Such a shame.
