Thanks Becca and cacoseraph!

Here is one more photo from this weekend. I finally managed to capture a few molting shots. This is one of my Avicularia versicolor. This photo was taken right after he righted himself. I'm anxious to take some more photos of him now that he is nearing his adult coloration.

Thanks Tegenaria. That is one nice thing about Southern California. The weather is perfect for a growing a great variety of plant life. It seems something is always blooming or at least green around here.

Thank you both!

Tegeneria,

A flower arrangement was recently sent to the family. The arrangement contained both of the above specimens. I took the opportunity to add some color to a couple photos before they browned up.

Alice,

I just have a point and shoot Nikon Coolpix 7900. I can't quite get to the level I want to be at with this camera, but it does take decent photos. Hopefully I'll pick up a Digital SLR soon. You will know when I do because I will flood the boards with photos. :)

Wow! Your pics are awesome! I love the spider/flower combos. And the sling blade pic is great! I love your choice in Ts too! All great ones! Have you ever thought of selling some of those photos? I bet you could!

Be careful or you're going to give me a big head! Maybe one of these days I'll put some up for sale. I just don't know if my fragile ego could take it if I didn't sell any. Heheh. I actually have had quite a few printed out for personal use. I have even matted and framed a couple for my own walls. :)

Well, I would certainly buy some. Knowing how most people feel about Ts, you may not become a millionare selling them. That doesn't mean they aren't some great photos though!

Here are a couple photos from last week. I had to take the A. versicolor[/] out for photos since he molted a week ago. This is my first A. versicolor to show mature colors. The colors on the adults are amazing in person. I hate to part with him. I'm really hoping the next one turns out to be a female. Enjoy! :)
