"I'm NOT afraid of spiders...that one just startled me."
I'd love to take credit for the caption, but this was the winning entry for a version of this image Joe (aka joe gardener) put on his Growing A Greener World Facebook page. I've cropped it a bit here. It garnered some great captions, but personally I liked this one the best too!
Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 66.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

Heyyyyyyyyyy CONGRATULATIONS, Coutrenay! Can see why it was the Winning entry! Super colors, lighting, & stop action! W T G! #8651885Courtenay Vanderbilt May 29, 2010
Oh dear, I do believe I have led you astray! Many thanks for your wonderful comments and...congrats. It's not that THIS image won anything...it's just that Joe posted in on his fb site so that fans of Growing A Greener World could come up with a caption to win one of his books. I used the 'winning caption' as the title to this image. My personal favorite, as who really thinks of gardeners as being afraid of spiders? LOL, hope you enjoy the 'humor'! #8651904Linda D. Lester May 29, 2010
Great action shot of Joe!!! He sure can jump! :) #8651940Tamara K. Walker May 29, 2010
