Hello Linda,

You see, spiders have eight legs with which to hang on. Winds don't worry them!

It doesn't surprise me that the spider is on a rudbekkia; this sort of flower is still showing colourful and strong, in my garden, whilst everything else is fading fast!

Not only have you got good details of the spider, the flower is just as well focussed and beautifully cropped.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Beautiful vibrant flower Linda.
Good contrast between the center and the petals,
and excellent detail throughout.
Nicely composed too.

Hi Calamity,
This picture brings some sunshine in my house :-) Well captured and I like the partly cropped flower. The tiny spider is a funny and nice detail. Great posting my cowgirl.

Good grab Linda.
Wonder where the little devil is now; did the sunflower survive the storm?
This has great sharp detail and a very sharp and short DoF that the spider just jumps off the screen.
Nicely composed and presented.
TFS,
Wilt

Hi Linda, & greetings from Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies!

I like the spider at the top in this superb macro as it breaks the pattern & acts as a focal point. Good dof & sharpness. Tfs!

Great detail to this little spider here, Linda. I am not a spider fan, but I am a fan of great captures and this is one of those. Good colour and a really great crop to make this an all round interesting and fun image.
Warmest Regards

HI Linda,

Nice shot of the black-eyed susan (I think that's the flower). Great cheerful color with the yellow. Of course, your backyard buffet is just perfect for all of the little creatures.
I especially like the sunlight and the shadows on some of the petals, subtle and effective.

thanks for sharing, Lisa :D
