I love the expression on this one. I know it's not human and likely has little more than instinct going on, but I just can so easily project emotion onto that pose. And, I've always been fascinated by their multiple eyes.

Spiders have become one of my favorite subjects, with jumping spiders being at the top of the list, followed by crab spiders. I used to be quite an arachnophobe, but I guess I've worked through it.

Also a former arachnophobe.. holding one years ago didn't do the trick, but moderating in the owlbox classroom experience clearly showed spidies at their best as beneficial creatures.. Now your great shots intrigue with no subtle fear startle at all. In fact I though this guy looked like kin to Fozzy Bear, dare I say, Cute

Thanks! Still with the macro. First is a wolf spider protecting her egg sac. I was watering when I noticed her, and she was all wet, but I decided to heighten the look by setting the hose on "mist".

Ok. You can blame me, no excuses, please forgive me for the photos, no focus , no sharpening, no contrast, I took it from my truck on , in march. with my Nikon 3200, I was afraid to lose them, I lost one, it was a pair, they were not bald eagles , they were white in the neck wit a black spot in the head, they are big , beautiful beasts even the calfs are afraid of them. The question is what kind of birds are they, where are they from, they are no from this region.

[penrivers]

Perhaps they are falcons, not sure.
