Spider - becoming very popular
One from today. A few Dragons about but not perching so went in search of spiders instead. Amazing how many different varieties there are. No day out is wasted. There is always something to photograph :smile:

C & C welcome

You love these creepy crawlies don't you Maggie :wink:
There's great detail in this one.
I'm glad they're only tiny though :wink:
Well done.

Geoff.

Some nice detail here, Maggie. I wonder if portrait format might have suited the shape of the animal better?

well taken Maggie. There's lots of these about but they're not always easy to photograph, particularly when even the faintest of breezes moves the web. A nicely detailed and colourful image. Maybe a portrait format would have improved it further, but I've taken similar landscape format images myself and think these can work well.

I like this shot, after youve checked the spider out your eye is taken around the image by the web,
