Wow - all that planning and a spider that is liable to jump away at any moment. :toast:

Lovely shot Jeroen. I really like this one because I know how difficult these little jumpy guys are for photographers. I'm not sure about all the colours, but that a minor I think.

What a creep, but you have photographed it very well. I think the colourful underground works well here. :smile:

I'm really enjoying these shots Jeroen, nice to see something different. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but this one looks kinda cute! :biggrin:
