The Spider with Spider picture is coming in at number three these days. It’s been the champion hotlinked image for long periods of time. This would be a great tshirt picture but I worry about the resolution. It’s at full res, having been a tiny part of the original image, and I had to work at it for it to look as good as it does. I’ll hold off on that.
It’s been getting hits today from yahoo answers where Gabby has supplied the link in answer to what do spiders really look like?
Here is the Middle-Fork Spiders Archive, the original post, a crude list of hotlinks, and the access log [19/Nov/2006:17:56:21 -0800] - [14/Jan/2008:10:30:17 -0800]
Thanks everyone!
Bonus Tracks, two other pictures from the same encounter:

This picture is currently the fifth most hotlinked image. The rose was out front. I removed the fence in the background and moved the wilted rose into the crop. I have mixed feelings about that: I like to capture time but this is a bit heavy handed.Someone at Forum of Brilliant Women pirated the image, cut the old rose out, made it into a jpg, and posted it. It’s not there any more, there don’t seem to be any images now.
I don’t like the theft, but the crop is good, and I’ve done the same with the image I’ve put up for sale at the Middle-Fork Store. I also built a basic cafepress shop named An Orange Rose while trying to figure out what’s possible. I’ll leave it in place. New image additions will only live the Middle-Fork Store.

Thanks everyone!
This picture of A Drop of Water continues to be my most widely hotlinked image. It is second to the Red Rose and Rain Water picture in number of hits.
There are four previous Hotlinking the Vegetable posts talking about activity, one that mentions this image, and two which match the search incorrectly.
I’ve started a cafepress shop named Drop of Water where cards, shirts, and coffee mugs emblazoned with the Drop of Water can be purchased. I received examples in the mail today, and they look pretty good. Good enough that I will start uploading lots of pictures, and seeing about customizing the look and feel of the store.
This picture inspired the Middle-Fork Water Archive.
