Description
Hello friends.
Hope you are all ok. I have been away for a long time but this summer has really been very busy and I havent had time or energy for things, I used to do. It isnt quite over yet. I have some bookcases to assemble...if I can do it by myself, that is. Dennis, my younger son has just had 3 weeks vacation with us and there was alot to do we havent been able to do. Hubby isnt so mobile anymore, so I must do most of the work around here. So less time for other things, but I will manege :)
Dennis spotted this odd, but gorgeous spider the other day and I took some shots. It hasnt been in this country for so long and fortunately it is harmless :) I find it very beautiful :)
Have a great day/evening. In the 3 weeks my son was here, we have been very lucky with the weather. We could always sit outside eating and drinking coffee and we still can. They promise 25C tomorrow....and only little wind. BUT it will end with rain and thunder in the evening. Ah well, we do need rain now.

A beautiful spider with bee-like markings - great shot. Here in southern Oregon where I live, we have had a devilishly hot summer - many, many 100+ degree days (roughly 38 degrees C) - & the last couple of weeks the air has also been very smoky from several wildfires...

Wow, Helle! I am so envious! I see the nests often, but have only once seen the lady! Here is a photo of one of the nests I have seen

Helle, you've been GONE for SO long I wasn't sure you would ever return, especially with your eye problems and all. Nice to have you back, along with this awesome shot of the wasp spider, an arachnid never seen here in my neck of the woods. I like the striped patterns of the legs and thorax. I hope you can get back on Renderosity at a more steady rate, and assembling book cases can be quite a chore, unless they're made of cardboard.

Oh I know, Helle, that you wish you had several sons helping you with the things you want to do. I wish you all the best in doing them all, without needing to sleep for 2 weeks after. (2 weeks would just about cover it for me...) But seeing you back here after a full month, is the cat's meow. (You have that expression in DK? If not, it means, "the best".) I hope you're feeling well, and are not too overworked. And whenever you can come back and grace this place with your shining presence is a big day. As for this pic: I love the shot, the greens and yellows harmonize with that amazing spider, you caught his hues beautifully, and I like his angle. A sunny, bursting photo. I hope your summer's-end is sweet; and come back whenever you can: It's great to see you here again!

Very lovely lady you captured here - good luck with all your projects. I just saw your note to Mark's posting - I have been remiss in adding you and your work to my list of friends, that has now been corrected. take care and good luck

This really is a big colouring one Dennis discovered in your garden, so is the photo, as very impressing to watch, dear friend. I'm glad you had such good days that three weeks. Here it's over 30 degrees, and to morrow at the end of the day the heath will end by thunder and a lot of wet stuff falling down. ;-).

What a beauty! I've never seen such a thing. :) The color is amazing!
It's good to see you stopping by, and the prospect of you returning is a gladdening one! Your art always makes me smile.

What a great, detailed shot of this spider! Good to see you posting again, Helle. I can relate to the busy stuff - I'm still trying to get caught up on comments from the last 2 months! I've only got about 1300 or so to go! LOL
