Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

AMBUSH!!
Sometimes, camouflage and great hiding places aren't necessary...especially when the unknowing target is coming home from a 12 hr night shift. Believe it or not, I actually opened this door without seeing him...found him sitting there when I brought the dogs out 3 minutes later. It was only about 40 degrees that morning, and he didn't want to hear about moving, so I'm sure he didn't just appear in those few minutes. (I guess I didn't place my hand on the knob...probably just reached up as I stepped, and hooked it with a couple of fingers?)
Anyway, I doubt this fella (gal?) would have liked it much if I had just grabbed. Anybody know what it is (aside from the obvious)

Once I moved it into the sun, and it warmed up a bit, it didn't sit as still for pictures....
After I was done, I put it in the hedge in front of my house. I'd love to find it again in the spring....

Sweet pics Harald. Pretty good sized too. Spiders have got to be one of the hardest things to identify (even on the web (no pun intended )), I found a pure white spider on my car this year, and for the life of me I couldn't find anything to help with figuring out exactly what it was.

I have to say it again. Harald, you are an amazing photographer. Some of your shots are truly stunning. I could look at them all day.
As far as the ID goes, I am no spider expert by any stretch of the imagination, but it kinda looks like an Orb Weaving spider.

Nice pics Harald. All the help I can be ID'ing it is to tell you it is a she. John Apple would be your best choice on ID'ing it. If he doesn't see this thread before this weekend I'll tell him of it and he can give you a definitive ID. Again, nice pics.

Wow!!!
Your photography never ceases to amaze me, Harald!!
Of course, it helps when you have fascinating subject matter.
I wish you lived in my neck of the woods so you could teach me your secrets!!

Wonderful pics, Harald. You actually made the spider look good--and I don't like spiders...
