Awesome nature photography day — a real live tarantula in the wild.

Early in the day, I took a couple of pictures of a molted snakeskin and a coupld of trapping spiders and prepared myself for disappointmet.  (Some chick said she had seen a tarantula on the path in the direction where I was walking.  But, I thought, "How the hell will I know where to look, bitch?  Stop taunting me.")

Prior to yesterday, the closest I had ever been to a giant spider was that episode on the Brady Bunch where the gang has bad luck in Hawaii on account of the cursed tiki. 

Cool, huh?  I live where the wild things are.
