Thank you Chris! Amazing creatures and they live a long life. During the fall, Mexican Brown Tarantulas get rather active during their mating season. Many of them roam dozens upon dozens of yards looking for a mate. This particular spider was cruising a natural spring fed stream on the hunt. I've never witnessed one drinking water and this is my first encounter.
I live in the western region of the Edwards Plateau, deep in the Texas Hill Country. I'm an avid outdoorsman spending a large portion of my time "out there" roaming the wide open spaces. Much of my photography is simply an extension of a very active outdoor lifestyle.
The challenges posed with closing the distance, pursuing wildlife photography, is an absolute hoot for me! The experience out there alone is everything to me. If I capture pixels along the way , it's icing on the cake.
Wow, she is so big... Nice shot, i love the composition and the nice light coming from the water!
