It is not every day you get to see a spider saving a moth from falling off a leaf and today is not that day.
If you are not familiar with how these spiders hunt they release a pheremone to attract in a male moth looking to mate and instead are met with a hungry set of fangs at the end of a spider that spends half of its time looking like a bit of bird poop.
I am not certain which species of Moth it is feeding on so will leave it as Moth.

Have a nice day
Thank you very much for the visit and comments. Cheers.
...from an excursion to Lagoon Creek. This female was close to its nest in a hollow in this tree. The pair were very cagey about entering the nest while I was there.
Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

So back once again to Leeds for Leeds First Friday.
This was quite a big one for me, as myself and another regular LFFer Emma were being interviewed for the ITV Pridecast podacst!
The interview was conducted by LFF's very own Sophie Scott who works at ITV and Ash Palmisciano! It went great and I really enjoyed the experience. You can download the podcast from here if you want to listen - my bit is the last 10-15 minutes or so. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-social-event-helping-tr...
Also, Gemma and I were looking after another newbie Helen who had a fantastic time, and one of our friends Jean even brought her daughter to the event - absolutely fantastic that there is that support from family.
And another of our friends, Norma, who had been to France on holiday, brought me back a chocolate bunny as she considers me to be her happy bunny, how lovely is that? All in all, a very full LFF!
With Ash from Emmerdale, Emma and Sophie. Even celebrities forget to put the bins out sometimes, ha ha!

The assassin pulls his cowl over his head and quickly turns around to block my first strike. He then punches me in the gut forcing me backwards. He keeps his composure and just walks to the other ledge of the building, allowing me to get ready for another strike.
It's quiet, but I hear him flip open a pouch on his belt. I hear the sound of metal blades rubbing together. I can't quite make out what the objects are, but I know I don't want to be hit by them. He raises them above his head and throws one at me. The object doesn't spin, but flies straight past me. It's a small rectangular object. A playing card. He's throwing razor sharp playing cards at me. Fantastic.
Before he can throw another I charge at him and swing one of my clubs at him. He catches it again and throws the club away from us. I try again with my second club and he again takes the club from my hands and throws it away.
"No more weapons. Let's fight like men..."

Friday night on the Toon. We met up with a few friends, some from the area and some had travelled from Glasgow.
Always a brilliant night out in Newcastle. We didn't make a huge night out of it but we did take in a couple of venues - Eazy Street and Rusty's.
This was taken upstairs in Rusty's. Steph and Joanne in the background.

Even though I've only been on here a few months, I've done some deals with a few of you. I'm a teacher and high school wrestling coach. It started out as me trying to get rid of a few pairs of old shoes but has become a little more than that. Comment if we've done a deal. Thanks.
commenting on my last uploaded picture, I was advised by auntie Pamela not to wear too much non-see-through clothing ;)
So, here we go with one more pic of the Noir Handmade gown. this time black sandals but no stockings. Got to keep varying a bit, right, not to get you totally bored with all exactly the same pics (so I do purposedly vary costumes in between uploads of the same dress, I do hope that helps as well).
Another not another another place snap from Crosby beach at a recent sundown, along with the previous sunshine in the sand was this fab group of 4.
After seeing these down at Crosby beach, we saw really great sandsculptures at Scarborough and York, shown below...
Thanks for all your comments and faves!

It's June, it's summer so it's an opportunity to try out some new outfits. And a bit of a departure from my usual dresses, trying out a denim mini skirt and (yikes!) bare legs!
Comments always appreciated - I love to hear your feedback! xx
I love this dress - light and floaty and summery.

I had a fantastic day out around Hull with the lovely Sarah. A privilege to share in days like this. Sarah is a new girl emerging into the world and this is one of her first ever trips out. We had a great time, some nice interaction, Sarah got a nice compliment too when we were in Wetherspoons having lunch. She looked great and really enjoyed the experience. Initial nerves evaporated away in no time! šš xx
Just about to head out.

Someone shows you a photo. They must like it, even be proud of having taken it, otherwise why would they show it to youā¦. So what do you say?
Of course, here in online photo-sharing communities like flickr, we deal with this situation all the time. Itās what flickr is all about. And itās interesting to see all the different ways that people comment on a shot.
In flickr and other situations as well, people may offer very terse, usually complimentary comments, like āNice capture,ā āGreat colors,ā or āBeautiful shot.ā These kinds of remarks are nice to hear, although theyāre a bit generic and sometimes unsatisfying, especially if you put a lot of work into an image and are hoping someone will notice your efforts. People may give such comments because itās hard for them to verbalize exactly why they like the shot. They may not want to let too many words smother their appreciation of the shot. In photo-sharing communities, they may be browsing lots of images and only have time to offer terse encouragement. Short and positive comments may be the norm of the community. Itās what most people do, so others follow suit. Peopleās status and sense of worth may revolve around how many comments appear under their images, so the terse, complimentary comment may be an efficient form of social barter: I give you one, you give me one. Lots of these kinds of comments tell you that the shot must be good, although you may not be exactly sure why itās good.
If you want to offer more than a brief compliment, what do you say? I find that if I take my time in looking at and thinking about a shot, something always comes to me. I might comment on the composition or some technical aspect of the shot, because Iām interested in that sort of thing. People usually appreciate it and perhaps even see something in their shot that they didnāt realize before.
But itās not necessary to get into technical stuff. Often Iāll just comment on what I like about the shot. It might be something in particular about the colors, shapes, or textures, the people or subjects in the shot, or the idea, feeling, or sensation that the image creates. It may sound overly simple, but I just comment on what I see and what it means to me. The nice thing about this is that there is no right or wrong in it. You simply describe your impression of the image. What does it remind you? What does the image say to you? How might it relate to your life? People usually like that kind of feedback about their photography. They like to hear about the different ways people see their image, the various ways people interpret and find meaning in it. Thatās what makes photography interesting. Thatās what makes it art.
Rather than a comment thatās a statement, you can also ask a question. What did the photographer like about the shot? How did he shoot it? What does it mean to her? What was it like being at that scene? People are usually happy to reply to these kinds of questions. To them it shows that youāre interested in the shot and want to know more about it. It opens the door to their talking about what went into the creation of that image. Photographers often are as excited about the process of taking the shot as they are about the shot itself.
What if thereās something you donāt like about a photo? Should you say so? Itās very possible people might feel offended, hurt, or react defensively. Their photo is like their child. On the other hand, they might also appreciate your honesty, especially if it helps them improve their skills, or, at the very least, gain a better understanding of how people vary in their photography tastes. Itās also a good idea not to express your criticisms or suggestions for improving a shot as if they are some objective truth. After all, it is just your opinion, your personal taste. Others could very well disagree. Rather than presenting a critical statement, you might describe how you might have done the shot differently. You might suggest āalternatives.ā
What if you donāt like the shot at all, if you really hate it? Itās probably best not to say that. I find that if I look at shot for a while, I always find something about it that I like. I also try to keep in mind the fact that the person decided to take this shot because something about this situation, person, animal, or scene was worthwhile, important, or interesting to that person. Thatās what makes it interesting to me too.
How do you like to comment on shots? What kinds of comments do you like or dislike to get on your photography?
