Pond End - TNY_20250723_111355
A brief pan of what it looked like by the dam at the southern end of the Nedre Dammen pond in Tyresta National Park before closing in on a very large female goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) on the absolute top of a curly dock (Rumex crispus).
Just below this are the ruins of an old water-powered mill which was built in the late 1700s and in operation all the way to the 1910s.
A proper macro shot of just that crab spider here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54688882201/
