This Banana Spider is quite harmless but sure looks frightening! This one was about 4″ (10 cm) and right in the path of the trail. I could have smacked right into it!
Here I go again, trying to catch up on my squares. Good thing Becky has loose rules about our timing because mine for January have been horrible. This will be like rapid fire today!
So happy to be back for squares in 2021!

Yeah they eat the insects we don’t want to be around. I’d rather see these all day than a black widow or brown recluse. 🙂

Thanks Becky! I was doing so well on the every day schedule and I’m not sure what happened. Well, I guess I do….Days of backing up data as I have a hard drive about to go. It’s been tedious to say the least! Backing up data over a span of almost 20 years.

yikes that’s a lot to back up!

Yes. It was almost 1 Terabyte. I still have to backup 12 memory cards from my cameras that I have collected for years. The better the camera, the bigger the cards. I have a 128M card right now that I fill up in two birding trips because I’m shooting raw + jpg. But no rush on that. My old hard drive was about to die so I wanted all my files off before it took a dump…literally and I lost all my archives! 🙂

Yeah and it only has 4TB left. I’m not completely backed up yet either. It has been a great drill because I found some old pics that worked for squares. 🙂
