Spider fun
by imanut2

Macro of a spider using a Raynox DCR150...unfortunately, the wind wasn't cooperating and kept blowing the spider in and out of focus...and sometimes it'd disappear right off the view screen!! Yikes...did I ever mention I don't like spiders?! Oh well...maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow...

Thanks Sandy...just got back from a long weekend up north...the spider came back but wasn't very photogenic this evening...he ran as soon as I approached...but I found his hiding spot LOL

Actually, after looking at the close-up, he looks pretty good here 8^)
