ID would be welcomed on this jumping spider (Salticidae).
Went on a photo walk in Parc du Bois de Liesse looking for dragonflies and right from the start I stumbled onto two beautiful jumping spiders, patrolling different parts of the same wooden lookout. This is the second of them, and I wonder whether or not it's the same species as the first one. This one has much more white (including a spot in middle of the head), but the color of the body and the markings on the back are similar... This spider was super inquisitive and jumped onto my lens several times. :)
Tamron Adaptall SP 35-80mm F/2.8-3.8 (01A), plus Adaptall SP 2X tele-converter (01F) and Raynox DCR-250. 1.5:1 macro ratio, plus since the background is nothing but black, I allowed myself to crop to almost 11MP (out of a 16MP original).

This idea came from some similar shots taken by a Flickr friend of mine, Ozark Bill. He has some unbelievable macros. www.flickr.com/photos/ozark_bill/
I had never seen one of these before.
I wish I had more dof here, but it was terribly windy, so this is the best I could do.
My manager at work loves black licorice (and so do I). I am always on the look out for new types to give her. This one was from W Germany.
this little aphid was in a pink and white rose, but when I put my lens between the petals to get closer, the lighting changed, resulting in this yellow and lavender shot, resembling the famous canyon smoothed by years of water erosion. I posted another shot of this scene under the same title back in June of 2009. See www.flickr.com/photos/gab57/3596081935/. It is still one of my favorite shots. Many photographers have taken a photo of the actual Antelope Canyon, but since I may not get out there to do the same, I feel fortunate I have this substitute in my own neighborhood.
Refreshing...The name rain lily initated due to the habit of this plant which normally produce more bloom after the rain. Happy Thursday everyone...Cheers, Ringgo.

As a general rule cicadas emerge at night and I don't get to watch. This Linne's Cicada (Tibicen linnei) for some unknown reason emerged around noon so I was lucky enough to get to photograph the process. His high-pitched, rapidly pulsating song will soon be heard along with other cicadas in the nearby trees.. Mt. Pleasant, Howard County Concervancy, Maryland

I liked this bubble reflection the best because of the hidden face in there! I love finding faces in things :)
Things are really getting heavier on my plate right now... so I hope you'll forgive me if it may take time for me to visit your streams... but I do look forward to seeing your wonderful works, as well... just be patient with me.
Have a Great weekend, my dear friends!
Distinguishable Spider...Jumping spiders are among the easiest to distinguish from similar spider families because of the shape of the cephalothorax and their eye patterns.

orange ladybug with a herd of aphids on goldenrod at the John Jeffries House garden
for those of you who may not know, photographing ladybugs is one of the biggest challenges for nature photographers. they are notoriously reclusive and avoid the camera lens relentlessly, moving into the bushy environment on opposite sides of stems and leaves making it difficult to get a lens near them. when you do actually get a shot, it is almost guaranteed to get glare, because of the domelike wing shells.
however, when you do get a good shot you are almost always surprised by what you get. for example, in this shot, I had no idea there were so many aphids on the plant, I was just trying to get a relatively well focused shot of the ladybug with the front helmet and antenna in the image.
