Practising my collages

So I’m practising making a collage. The kangaroo photo shows our front ‘garden’ at 6.30am today. Then we have my rose bush with its protective ‘skirt’ to stop the rabbits from ring-barking the trunk.
When I brought the piece of shade cloth over from the shed there was a redback spider on it. It seems that these are not as deadly as once thought but they can make you very sick and apparently their bite is really painful. Another reason for you not to come to Australia but to leave it all to us intrepid antipodeans! (That’s meant to be funny.)
The other little spider we call a Christmas spider, I suppose because it’s so colourful. I don’t know why Mother Nature saves some of her most beautiful and colourful creations for things like spiders’ eyes and the insides of flowers.

Mother Nature is dangerously beautiful and we really shouldn't mess with her creations ...... I don't like spiders, when I first opened this post the first thing that popped out was that redback

I remember this shot @JudyEv it's too funny. 
Well, good news, I didn't have a nightmare ..... part of what I remember dreaming was being on a spaceship with a goofy looking alien but there's more to the dream that I can't remember, probably brought on by the show I was watching. Have you ever seen Stargate Atlantis?

Even though the sight of spiders scares me, I'm happy see spiders with different colors. I hope they're not venomous.

The redback gives a very nasty bite. We used to think the bite was fatal but that's not quite right.

The species of redback spider and Christmas spider are rare! The kangaroos seem not to be afraid of human being,even look like tame creatures.

@JudyEv If so, they seem to be agile and timid as the mice.

Thanks. You are not the only myLotter who doesn't like spiders. The Christmas spider is only tiny but even some small spiders can be dangerous if they bite you.

Thanks and it wasn't all that hard to do once I decided I was going to do it.
