The feelings you inspired in me may have been
completely irrational, however I enjoyed the primitive fear
that crawled up my spine upon seeing you sauntering
leisurely across the parking lot.
Spiders are pretty amazing and interesting creatures, but I still get the heebies when I walk into their webs. That primal fear–is it instinctive, learned, or both?
No, I haven’t. That sounds really frightening. They’re so fascinating to watch. Seeing them casually walking around is not something I could easily get used to.
Whoa! I’m with you on this – give it a w-i-d-e berth! 🙂

My kids were observing it and my son Wolfgang took this photo. He had many, but this one was the most intimidating.
