"A brick fell on it" What, the one that was 12 feet away, the the corner, on the floor.....that brick???!!! Sorry, giggling to myself about your choice of words...great! Surprised that you had time to get your camera before this odd space time continuum quantum split happened in Chester!!

What a great and clever idea to share things and creatures living home Michael. We see without seeing. That's really brilliant. I wouldn't dare enter your garage (it comes at the right time, I have no car).
;-)))) Am I silly.

@Florence: I use the garage for the washing machine/dryer/freezer/tools/christmas tree/lawn mower/fitness weights.... but no car in there. My wife said I should put my bed in there....... what do you think Flo ?
Florence from Paris, France
2 possibilities.
a) Since how many years are you married Michael... ???
b) Or, is your wife a fan of 'do it yourself' ? In that case, and hopefully,
this second possibility is probably the most enjoyable. ;-)))

I must be becoming a Buddhist for some time because I reluctant to kill these critters in my garage ... However, in the house, no mercy, to each his territory !
The wall is white or is a fake ?

hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
Oh poor fellow... but it posed and cooperated so well with the photographer! Don't you think a brick would be a little too harsh? How about a slipper? Wonderful capture Mike... love the contrast and minimalist composition!:-)

Well, in spite of the fatality he looks pretty much of one piece.
Are you the one with a garage full of spiders that I read about a while back?
This one is a beaut!! :-)
