This little guy was hanging out under the porch railing...........until the web was distrubed. I encouraged him to move a little (which scared the crap out of me when he moved so quickly and yes I did indeed scream like a girl) so I could get a better shot of him. Afterwards we relocated him to the neighbor's yard.
While in the the tall grass shooting dragonflies I felt something on my face. This is what I grabbed so I decided to get a few shots. It is missing a leg on the near side, I don't know if I knocked the leg off when I grabbed the spider.
My garden is covered in these little reminders of the tiny spiders that used to cover it, they all moved out when the big ones moved in.
Bathroom Wall visitor -- it was the size of a pin head. You can see the ring light reflection in it's eyes from the macro lens.
Same spider as yesterday, a bit of a wider view. This thing was huge...so big that you could hear it's feet tapping as it walked across my floor.

I was feeding the dogs, when lo and behold I saw an itsy bitsy spider staring up at me from Harry's dish. He was pretty translucent, and very very small! Anyway, so of course i dropped what i was doing and grabbed my camera, slapped on those macro tubes and tried to take some shots. It was super hard to get it focused on the eyes of the spider, but I managed to do it finally. Thankfully he wasn't really moving. I guess spiders do that.
I felt very rushed though, 'cause I had burgers on the grill and fries in the oven (of course the timer had to go off right then). I did a fair amount of clean up on this shot since there were flecks of dog food all over, but since it was a white dog dish, it lends for this almost studio-esque shot of this spider. Anyone care to look up the species?
