I don't necessarily like spiders, but this little one was smaller than my pinky fingernail and was quite cute!
Had a go at trying for a macro shot of one of these amazing little creatures. It was sitting outside my window ledge. I had good natural light which helped. I think I got as close to the spider as my lens would allow (which is 295 mm from my subject to the sensor of my camera). Worth enlarging.
One more from Earl's Crag. The rock on the left was a metre or so away from the one on the right, with about a 10 metre drop in between. Slightly scary jumping from right to left because the full view of the drop was visible.
One of my favourite spiders, Jumping spiders, they look so sweet with those big eyes that look up at you she was very obliging, letting me take several photos
Boss (about 20 yrs old) jumping down from the stone stair!
Despite his age, he is very versatile!
Taken on Feb 10th, 2020.
It's the first time in my long life as a wildlife photog, I ever had the chance to get such a shot. It's not perfect, but I'll keep it. Thanks for your FAV's kind friends.
I hadn’t checked what the MM theme was until late Saturday night by which time I’d already taken a series of shots on the river with the salmon jumping.
There are a few more shots but this is probably the closest that I have.
Obviously too big for a M theme but following the thread loosely.
Thanks for stopping
Time flies when having fun. I'm back from my vacation but still catching up!! I had such a lovely time in Finland with close up encountering with birds, butterflies and of course the most amazing sun and food. My parents still spot me :)
This was a cricket visiting me on my summer chair. I decided to jump off my chair just to get a close up shot of it. This kind is my with a red orange tail and loud cricketing sound is a favourite,
Have a lovely Saturday!
This male just got himself a nice snack as I was setting up my camera.
Taken with my non-macro zoom lens and 1.4x TC. I also set the camera to APS-C crop mode. The TC really helped with the shallow depth of field.
All up, I am quite pleased with the result.

Jumping works not by muscles, but by hydraulic forces.
The leg spines become erect during the jump, a result of increased body pressure.
The zebra spider's jump is almost entirely due to the sudden straightening of the fourth pair of legs.
Before jumping, they glue a silk thread to the surface that they are jumping from so that if they miss the target, they can climb up the thread and try again (clearly seen here - even a "double rope" is used for safety)
My attempt at the "Flickr Friday" theme "Jump".
Shot with a Minolta "90 mm F 5.6" (copy) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
A Squirrel jump. I had waited a long time for a inbound jump . But I did not get one. I was ready to wait further but had to leave to catch a flight. So Finally happy with an Out bound Jump.
This was a thrill for me to watch. I actually noticed this spider was trying desperately to catch something to eat with no success. So, I grabbed this bug and and placed it in front of this little guy. It instantly snatched it out of my hand and started going to town on it. Very cool. :)

Il Jumping Cholla o "Cholla saltante" è un tipo di cactus molto particolare del su-ovest degli stati uniti. La sua particolarità è che dai suoi rami si staccano facilmente dei pezzi rotondeggianti, coperti di spine, che sembrano quasi saltare appena vengono sfiorati. E' veramente difficile rimuovere le spine una volta che sono penetrate.
