Hugh has gone with the spooky and the scary this week of Halloween for his photo challenge.
The photo I have decided to share with you is a rather hideous spider! As you can see he looks as though he might glow in the dark with that luminous green body. I was informed by The Book Blogger that he could be an orb – weave spider, but to be quite honest, I did not get close enough to him to try to identify him.
At the time of this photo is was back in the summer when I was working at the hospital still. I had gone outside at break with a couple of nurses and we sat on the ‘smokers bench’. This little fellow appeared, which sent us all off in different directions screaming! Give us blood and gore and we will be there poking about, but show us a spider or a wasp and you won’t see us for dust!
I was brave though as I took the photo (thank God for the zoom feature). The quality of course is not great as I took it as quickly as I could then got out of there!
He glows. I can’t stand creepy crawlies, spiders included.

You are braver than i would have been…. I can watch the scariest movie but let a spider get near me and I am screeching and running in the other direction.

I have a feeling that it’s not a normal spider but an alien spy-der, a techno-bug, put there by the aliens so that they can observe the humans.

Nice photo for the challenge, Judy. Kind of has a science fiction look to him. I wonder what was making him glow? I guess you’ll never know and don’t want to find out anyway.
Thanks for participating in the challenge. I think spiders may feature a few times for this week’s challenge.

I think you will get a fair few spiders in this week’s challenge as well Hugh! I don’t know why this one was glowing green, it was ugly enough as it was! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
