Patient Hunter
Pink Crab Spider
A Master of Disguise
The pink crab spider is a superb ambush predator that doesn't build webs to catch its prey. Instead, it relies on its remarkable ability to camouflage itself. Females of the species can change their body color to match the flowers they are waiting on, shifting between white, yellow, and pink. This color change can take several days and is driven by visual cues and hormonal signals. This cryptic mimicry helps the spider to both hide from its own predators and ambush unsuspecting pollinators like bees and butterflies

While waiting for her next meal to swim by, this brown bear sow exhibits two qualities that a good fisherman needs. Katmai National Park, Alaska.
Patient spider.
These eggs belong - or at least, did belong - to a Eucalyptus tortoise beetle. The spider appears to be waiting for them to hatch, just as sharks wait for young penguins to hit the water. Over a period of about an hour, it moved no further than 3 cm away from the eggs, and kept returning to sit right over them. What an easy catch!! I am sure spiders have a degree of intellegence that we don't give them credit for.

It was cold and rainy out so I didn't get the shot I wanted. It's cliche, but this'll have to do.
I really need some new inspiration. I am seriously lacking right now.

Okay, I have to admit that I have a serious problem waiting. I want things to happen right away. Well, I am learning patience. It is a most valuable virtue to have.
Sometimes it's hard to be patient.. but many times it is worth it.

Since the cabin floors needed scrubbing this morning, "Sparky" had to wait patiently in my rocking chair, for the floors to dry.
*(I haven't posted a "Silly Saturday" photo in awhile, so since the day has been rather blustery outside, I spent a few minutes playing at my computer after the chores were finished.)
A Green Heron perches low over the water, its body coiled in concentration and eyes fixed intently on the surface below. Balanced on a branch, the bird embodies patience and precision, waiting for the perfect moment to strike at unsuspecting prey.
Quiet, he awaits the arrival of a client.Maybe today is lucky and its sale bears good fruit. Maybe tomorrow I have a new dream to follow.
Down at Venice, yesterday, the pelicans were doing well catching fish in the choppy Gulf of Mexico ~ this one was watching and waiting!!

A Heron stands perfectly still for several minutes on one of the old outposts in Barnet Marine Park. I was able to take several long exposures and he came out nice and sharp.
