Ventana Canyon Spidey
On the way back from our most recent hike along the Ventana Canyon trail, I narrowly avoided stepping on this little guy. It's a baby Black Widow Spider! This is another first for me! So far, my lifetime rare tiny wild creatures discovery tally stands at three. My first, was a newt I spotted while walking a trail in the New York Catskills at Mohonk House. My second, was a horned toad while walking along the roadside in Greer, AZ. Since, I am often accused of not being aware of my surroundings, I think this is pretty good spotting.
