We begin seeing tarantulas on our property every year, right around July 4th, so I'm thinking they are patriotic souls. Whenever I post a picture of one, the response is always, "Nope, I'd be moving," but they aren't really that scary, in fact, they are fairly popular as pets. They can bite, and have a venom slightly less powerful than a bee, but are not aggressive. You can hold your hand in front of one, and he/she might walk onto your hand, and then you can transfer him/her to your shoulder, and freak all your friends out.

Steve Templeton spends his retirement days operating a small professional camera & lens rental operation in Abilene, TX. When he can get away from the day to day grind, he loves taking pictures of God's creation, which encompasses a plethora of subjects. Whether you are an interior designer, a buyer for hotels or corporate offices, or shopping for wall art for your own home, you'll find a little something for everyone in his portfolio. If you don't see what you are searching for, please feel free to contact him, as this is just a small sampling of his body of work.
