I went out in the yard this afternoon to take a few photographs. I was headed for the lilacs, but along the way I spotted this lovely pink tulip.
I was working on zooming in on the flower and letting the background slip into soft focus when something moved.
Eeeeek! It was a white(!) spider! Spiders are not my favorite creatures on the planet. But being a good blogger (with an inquisitive mind) I tried to zoom in on the spider. Unfortunately, shuddering does not lend itself to excellent photographs!
But then I got this shot. I’ll be darned if the white spider didn’t have a pink(!) swoosh on each side of its body!
Despite being a spider (shudder) it was very cool!

That is a beautiful spider. We get something similar in our basil, only they are pale green. And I recall finding pretty coral coloured spiders in our red roses in out old garden. I think they slowly become the colour of whatever they are living in and I'm sure they do no harm.
Just stunning! I never knew there was such a spider.
It's a New England sign that the Celtics will survive the second round (they better!).
I always enjoy your photographs!

Hi DMM -
As I Googled and Wikied on the internet I found similar information about how they adapt. I was lucky it was on a pink tulip.

Hi Irene -
Neither did I! I was truly shocked by it - which contributed to my unsteadiness with the camera!

Very, VERY cool! I also don't like spiders, but this one is too pretty to be ugly...
This one is much nicer than Morgan's (No offence Morgan) ;o)
