Gentle Giant
Date: Oct 04
Time: 9:47 AM
Location: 11.4 miles north of Study Butte, Brewster County,TX
Site: On a creosote bush in an open, area with sparse bunch grasses, shrubs and cacti
Weather: Skies clear with the wind from the SSE at 12 mph
Temperature: 79 F
Notes: During a morning hike in the desert Chad found this beautiful Garden Spider resting in the small leaves of a cresote bush. It took a keen eye to spot this colorful arachnid as it sat motionless blending in perfectly with the foliage. We shared a few special moments with this gentle giant while we filmed, photographed and coaxed it to climb on Chad's hand. Too cool!
