Gasp! by Laura Axelrod

Hanging out with a Wolf Spider

 

A view of a Wolf Spider hanging out on our bathroom window in Alabama. I estimated that it was about one to one and a half inches long.

Oh, and it was on the *outside* part of the window.  

Pictures of the North Myrtle Beach Fire in South Carolina

I'm with my Mother this week in Myrtle Beach. We're on the other side of town, but it was hard to avoid the plumes of smoke coming from North Myrtle Beach. I took some pictures, but stayed far away from the area that's burning.

Last thing I heard, it will take several days to put the fire out. 

From the Myrtle Beach Mall near Barefoot Landing.

Again, near the Myrtle Beach Mall.

A view from Bypass 17.

Once more at the Myrtle Beach Mall.

Busy During Our Swimming Party?

We spent this weekend dealing with the backyard of our house. Jethro finally got around to uncovering the pool. I don't think I've ever seen liquid so green before. 

I raked leaves, earned myself a blister and saw a black widow spider near our house.

Who knew holiday weekends could be so fun.

The Year in Pictures

Since everyone is on vacation, I've decided to post pictures I took from 2006. They represent another year lived, more experiences gained. Some photos might be offensive, but they represent my experience of a time and place.
