This is a "if you can't beat them, join them" kind of gallery. Although I am fortunate to live in a very beautiful area just next to the St. Lawrence River, Lachine is also well known for its spiders (a side effect of being next to the water). Unfortunately, spiders are a phobia of mine, and are pretty much guaranteed to give me the heebie jeebies. So here is a gallery of spiders around the place: these will pretty much all be taken around my house (on the outside, fortunately!). If they are all around, I may as well take advantage of their posing.
