According to the Australian Museum "The Leaf-curling Spiders (genus Phonognatha) are day-active orb weaving spiders that protect themselves from predators by sitting inside a silk seamed, curled leaf.
Mainly identified by their curled-leaf retreats in which they hide with only their legs exposed, Leaf-curling Spiders are fat, oval-shaped spiders with red-brown legs and body and a cream coloured pattern on their backs."
This one had web stretching in all directions, so a tripod was out of the question. It's taken hand held and virtually balancing on one leg. Not too bad, until the breeze started...

The Sun was shining brightly on my Schubert Chokecherry tree. I had my macro lens attached to the D800 and was able to focus exactly on the lower edges of the orange Autumn leaf.
The leaf was quite small, only two inches long or so.

The term "palmate" does not refer exclusively to compound leaves. It simply means resembling the palm of a hand. In the CSIRO key, the feature " compound leaves palmate" refers to the leaflets arising from one central point. This is the equivalent , for compound leaves, to the feature "L7 - whorled leaves " , which refers to the arrangement of simple leaves. The leaflets of a compound leaf can be distinguished from simple leaves by the absence of an axillary bud.
Autumn must be the second best season of the year. I really wanted to 'beg' for help now, because I have this new project in my photography class where I can choose what I want to photograph, and make a series out of it. Please, if you read this now, give me a suggestion! I have no idea what I want to do..
