A young fellow at my church, 5 or 6 years old is my biggest fan. Every week he asks me if I have any spider pictures for him. I usually print a close-up or macro image on 4x6. This week I didn't have one but I told him that I was splitting firewood and when I brought out my splitter there was a big fat spider on one of the wheels. I went in the house to get my camera but of course when I got back out the spider was gone. Without missing a beat he told me I should always keep my camera with me. Sage advise.

Yes, " I should always keep my camera with me." Indeed true, for many, the camera that makes phone calls is their go-to camera, for me my older super zoom with a small sensor is pocket size go-to... I should have my Panasonic Superzoom TZ100 1" sensor handy but it was expensive so I protect it.

Jimmy, you will be surprised when this young fellow in his mid-teens publishes a book about spiders using your photos that he has collected over the years.

PS: your story is an interesting one

With smart phones of today, there’s no excuse for no camera present. They take pretty good pics, even if they aren’t Nat Geo quality. Great record.

dpullum and Bunko. T, you're both correct of course. I should have used my phone to at least get something. Maybe next time.

Also, I noticed too late that I spelled advise instead of advice. I didn't notice until after the edit option disappeared.

Too funny. How great is it to have someone excited to see your photos every week; since it happens at church, I’ll say it is a blessing. 😊
