Here is another little tidbit from Florida. I went to the boardwalk to shoot one of the models I had lined up while I was there and off to the sides were these dense, lush forest. Automatically it caught my eye and I wanted to shoot there. I went down to do a little scouting, and ran into a cob web. When I pushed on it to get it out of my way, my hand felt a huge web. I looked over to my left and about 2 feet from my head was the spider below. It was just slightly smaller than my hand....fingers and all. Needless to say, I have never moved so fast in my life. I'm sure the high-pitched screaming and all the flailing didn't put the girl I was shooting at ease. I blamed my pee stained pants on the humidity. These 8-legged man eaters were EVERYWHERE in the trees once I took a look from a safe distance where I shot the photos. It creeps me out just thinking about it. I checked what type of spider it is, and it's called a Golden Orb-Weaver. Hence the golden web. I could have been called the golden-stream-in-pants-maker after seeing that evil sucker. Try not to have nightmares.
p.s. I'm pretty sure that smaller male spider is no longer with us. It gives a whole new meaning to having your head bitten off by your spouse.

Gross. Kacie looks smokin' in her dance pictures. So fun. The date looks cute and nice. The story of the flowers getting stomped is the best.
