I was out getting some sunset shots last night in the Arbuckle Mountains when this little guy happen to walk a few feet in front of me. My wife got my attention and I started shooting it. The gut next to me which had to be a city slicker with no bussiness in the woods went into a panic asking what the heck that thing was. My wife and I both got a good laugh out of him.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

A fine shot Billy. That would be quite a shock for anyone having not seen one before. Hope he had a change of clothes!!

Billy, to prevent that my wife will get a nightmare (and I no night rest), I won't show her your image of this 'tiny' and 'adorable' critter, lol.
Great capture though, my friend.
Regards, Cornelius.

I would have heard a squashing sound had I been there BTK. I don't much care for spiders. This one looks as good as it can for what it is. :)

Great Shot Billy! I really like the "MONSTER" and the colors! LOL! Don't find these here in the city. One of my earliest memories was confronting a tarantula. At that time it seemed much bigger! Someone got the adults and they squished it. Poor little MONSTER! LOL! Keep up the great work! Allen
