Garden Spider

Garden Spider lives outside my home and does not pay rent. However I feel he is a good Garden Spider because he eats all sort of little other creatures. This guy is beautiful (not sure if male or female?) and I really enjoy looking at him from time to time.

The problem is I need a really good macro lense, however with the Thailand trip this fall the macro will have to wait.

Evening With Best Friends!

Nang & Kwan first met in Bangkok, Thailand about 2 1/2 years ago and have been best friends ever since.

Photos are with a Sony Cyber-Shot

As in the past blogs the girls do spend as much time together as possible.

Photos really tell the story!

Mike & Kwan met in Bangkok and after 2 years of dating decided to get married. Mike & I get along great and enjoy watching how much fun the girls have together!

Mike is teasing his daughter & friend.

This was a the local Dave & Buster's restaurant in Texas.
