Night over Jesenice, by Matija. Used with permission. (source)
Matija has been quietly posting a photo a day on his blog here. I’ve been following it for a while and there’s some great stuff coming down the pipeline. I guess I like the commitment of it (see also: Matt Haughey’s monumental Ten Years of My Life) as well as the quality of the stuff so far.
I also admit to having a soft spot for insects, which is why I especially loved Matija’s The Vintager and Guests at a Dinner Party.
But it’s all good.

Michael, your soft spot? It’s what other people call ugliness
Hm…that wasn´t kind Michael. There are arachnofobes out there you know ;o) When writing that you have a love for insects one expects to see an insect and not a spider when one clicks on the last link. (Perhaps the dinner was an insect though ;o))
I don’t think I’d ever keep them as pets or eat them (unless they were in a chicken soft taco, in which case no problem) but I do like watching them.
That said: the black widow on that page gave me the heeby jeebies.
Peter: I definitely see the picture from the perspective of the (unwilling) guests. And I’d say the spider doesn’t qualify as an arachnid so much as a monster. He’s in a class by himself.
I wanted to go look at the black widow and got a 403 Error and Forbidden. The spider in question was probably female, females are the big ones. Male spiders are smaller, and in venomous varieties, less harmful. The bee was really adorable.
