Poor image but good story. Remember the image of the Robber Fly killing and eating the Yellow Jacket? Now here it is in a spider's web. A predator falling victim to another predator. Now I have to be on the lookout for a Yellow Jacket eating the spider. I don't know if that ever happens.

Stopped at Taughannock Falls State Park and I snapped this photo of a huge Turkey Vulture cruising above the somewhat dry waterfall looking to have turkey for dinner!
I, was the prey, the hunted and the watched.

Dining on venison all winter, this matched pair of Bald Eagles are the picture of robust good health. Among the very wildest of the wild, these animals nevertheless have it absolutely kicked compared with the typical winter plight of most other large wild predators, who often lead bleak, make-it or break-it winter existences. Not so the lordly Bald Eagle who has but to take wing and follow any roadway to that mornings freshest whitetail deer carcass offering, and then feast upon it largely undisturbed...
Lion, (Panthera leo), large, powerfully built cat (family Felidae) that is second in size only to the tiger. The proverbial “king of beasts,” the lion has been one of the best-known wild animals since earliest times. Lions are most active at night and live in a variety of habitats but prefer grassland, savanna, dense scrub, and open woodland.
The male’s outstanding characteristic is his mane, which varies between different individuals and populations. It may be entirely lacking; it may fringe the face; or it may be full and shaggy, covering the back of the head, neck, and shoulders and continuing onto the throat and chest to join a fringe along the belly. In some lions the mane and fringe are very dark, almost black, giving the cat a majestic appearance. Manes make males look larger and may serve to intimidate rivals or impress prospective mates.
King Mpakasi, a young male lion in his prime, was photographed on a late evening game drive in the Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
When I took the photo I didn't notice the Crab Spider having lunch. I did notice the Saw Bug, AKA Wheel Bug on the prowl.
For what it's worth, they both bite. I don't know about the Crab Spider but I do know that Wheel Bugs HURT! I don't recommend trying to pet them.
They are beneficial as they prey on other harmful insects including those horrid Japanese Beetles that are eating the leaves off my tree until the Hibiscus start blooming.
I've been watching Barn owls in this area for a few years now, not sure if it's the same breeding pair, however at least nine owlets have been produced. I think this male is taking breakfast back to his offspring waiting in a Turkey Oak which is used for breeding and roosting. My favourite bird. :)

Yesterday we had wild weather in Ocean Shores. We were treated with three bald eagles while we were beachcomber afterwards. This one was snacking on a seagull.
Experimenting with a Mandelbulb Fractal I made and then put on my laptop screen.
I posed the figure in front of the screen to create this scene.
Added some LUTS and a starburst in ON1.
This was a fun rainy day experiment.
