I know they aren't to everyone's taste, but I'm always so pleased when I find these little jumping spiders. I think they have the cutest faces and crazy hair :) This one was enjoying glorious sunshine at the weekend and unusually stayed still for a while.
Black-tailed Prairie Dogs have a vast "vocabulary". Some scientists consider their vocalizations to be a language. They can communicate the type of predator/threat, the size, the color and whether it's on the ground or airborne.
One of their communications is called a "jump-yip" where one will stand up, seemingly without reason, on its haunches, lean back its head and call out "wee-oo." One of the main theories for this behavior has been that it's a signal of "all clear". But research has shown that they perform the jump-yip before, during and after dangerous events. Some researchers now conclude the whole point of jump-yipping is for one prairie dog to assess the alertness and responsiveness of his or her associates.
The jump-yip occurs in about a second, so it's exceedingly hard to photograph. I missed the yip on this one but got the jump. I'll take it.

I don't necessarily like spiders, but this little one was smaller than my pinky fingernail and was quite cute!
A jumping spider sucking the life out of a small fly. It was on the glass table I sit next to. Not the best background.
Pier jumping boy at Gardenstown Harbour Scotland.
They had a lot of fun, jumping down, while the sun goes down.
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.

Longtailed Tit jumping down from its preferred branch to the bush below, where the nest is to be finished for the next generation. It was sitting in the second I took the shot. But when I controlled I found the tit jumping ...
Don't know which jumping spider. It was very small, maybe 5 mm or 0.2". I was sitting in the garden working on an interesting mushroom that had popped up when a bit of motion on a nearby leaf caught my eye. No way I would have seen it if I hadn't been sitting there in the dirt. Serendipity...
[Note: in spite of "did not fire" - I certainly did have the flash here. This shot would have been impossible, or at least much more difficult, without it]
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!

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.
These boys were jumping everywhere they could! We saw them several times during our drive through the Petrified Forest!
