My Phobia...

Cloudy 23ºC

I am an arachnophobic, oh I'm not just an arachnophobic, in fact anything with more than four legs and two eyes will freak me out, nothing in this world could make me go within metres of them...
until one morning, seeing a photo opportunity, I realised my passion is stronger than my phobia, we will accustomise ourselves in pursuit of that passion...mine which is to capture the beauty of our world through my lens helped me overcome this phobia, don't get me wrong, my phobia is still very much alive but for a few moments one morning it was overcome...



A predator and it's prey (all wrapped up ready for dinner).



Overcome those fears, you never know what you can achieve until you do it.

 and keep dreaming...

  3. Thank you both...it is my greatest fear, I only peaked in the viewfinder an inch away, pressed the shuter and hoped for the best. Fear is our biggest fear, lol, not sure what I'm trying to say but it kinda makes sense in a funny way. Appreciate your support guys.

  4. Wow - these are spectacular! I think the last one of the web is my favorite. While I'm no spider lover, they are fascinating to watch. :-)

  6. Thank you Melanie. They are my little terrors but for the sake of my passion I have to love them just a little bit.

    Sorry Aleksandra, they are terrifying, if this was someone else's blog I would do the same.
