Epeire diadème ou porte croix (Araneus diadematus)

I'd run a mile if I saw this in real life - but in a photo it is very beautiful.

Absolutely Frybo - scary.

I see it - it is so pretty, lovely markings.

That's stunning. Agree with Frybo and S.bub. but have you thought of entering this in a competition as I reckon it could do really well - or any of your photos for that matter?

Super shot Ray...I like spiders :)

Well tuesdaybear thank You but I don't know the way to propose my pictures on competition or exhibition..
I apprecied your advise but this is only my hobby and I am a simple smatter ..They are enough they make pictures much better that I do... ;-))

Ray - hope you don't mind me saying you've used "smatter" when you mean "snapper" - that is, one who "snaps" (snap is slang (argot) for photo in English). But we all know what you meant. :))

All right Sheilabub...Sorry but I will only sayd I am a simple "amateur" in French...;-))

Oh, I see! You could be a "professional" though, with your lovely pictures. :))

Yeah, typical crusader, hanging on....
