Spiderman?

Hairy Creature

I never thought I would become spiderman. A couple of days ago I was cruising down a gravel road in a canyon in Peru. I almost drove over this beautiful spider on the one lane road. Shortly after that came a turn out. I pulled over, put the hazard lights on and parked the Toyota in the narrow bay at the edge to the canyon. I already saw the 18 wheeler sneaking along the curves about half a kilometer ahead of where I was. I jumped out of the truck, ran back, took a couple of pictures and tried to chase the animal off the road. First it wouldn't move. I was already thinking of picking it up, when a smooth push on it's butt finally made it run. Just enough time for me to get back to the Toyota before the 18 wheeler would have smashed the hairy fellow. 

Good Size

Do you know why there's always dog food in the blue truck?

Here is why:




Are you being greeted like that in the morning?



Some of the stray dogs can really do with some food.


Others could with a hair cut.


Seeking shade under the blue truck at a beach in Costa Rica.





Some where must have been a fox involved.


Anything cooking for me?


Guard dog?




No, no this is not why! This is a pig and not a dog, but yes I ate it and did not share with any dog. Was super tasty, Xela, Guatemala.
