Don’t get me wrong. I am not a fan of spiders.  Now I don’t hate them, actually they do a lot of good. They are just creepy crawly and I don’t want to be all snuggled up next to one.

While in the Galapagos, in Santa Cruz, our first day even we were off to the races exploring.  We were up in the highlands going down underground to explore some lava tubes. I had hung back from the group so I could get some shots while they went further into the abyss of the tunnel. I turned and saw this little guy hanging out in his web and I really enjoyed how the light was playing off his web, or maybe a she I am not a spider expert.  Hell I don’t even know what kind of spider this is.  Maybe you know…
