"Spider through the Keyhole"

Comments

Why thank you Dennis, It was a response to the March challenge from Robert Louis Stevenson's poem!

Certainly an interesting take here Angela.

I have a little summerhouse and I always look through the keyhole before I put the key in. I always worry that one will be looking back at me! Great Angela.

Many thanks Alan, these spiders do take us unawares sometimes, can remember when we played in our attics and the cobwebs where a spider hung upon its thread for dear might! We don't seem to have one keyhole in our modern homes, only spiders do seem to dangle on veranda railings and hide in the pot-plants! We need to be cautious of the 'red-back' spiders here though as their sting is pretty dangerous and the 'funnel web' spider too, although the common tarantula is harmless and actually friendly as it consumes insects!

Why thank you Carol, Yes, always be cautious when going inside your garden shed yet, some spider's are more afraid of us than we can ever imagine, however they are fascinating to watch!

It was inspired from reading the poem by Robert Louis Stevenson for the March challenge I am a bit late in posting but did find it stimulating as suffered a bout of oesteo arthritis where my left hand was stiff so gripped the pencil and pastels and drew what I imagined! "The dusty attic spider-clad He through the keyhole, maketh glad:
