Next visit to the bearded orchid threesome, a spider was visiting.
It was shy to start with, but eventually came around.
This last image is stacked and it moved – and moved the orchid!
Life’s been hectic and it’s late! Time for bed.
One last pic, a fern sprouting.
Take care and thanks for visiting 😀

i was looking close up at the details of the spider: wow! that is truly awesome photography! every little hair on the spider is clear & the details of the ruddy color pattern are crisp & sharp. i love the care that you take with your images, & that you explain so much too. thank you🙏🏼

It did catch my attention. I’m not keen on spiders but it was so pretty! It’s back looked like a Persian rug!

What fantastic close-ups Tone !
The spider itself deserves a compliment, because she is beautiful.
You did a wonderful job capturing this.
and the OM camera, well, and then there are people who think m4/3 is inferior. total nonsense.

Thanks Marc,
I almost laugh at people straining their arm at the market carrying literally a Canon – a lens bigger than their forearm! There’s usually one or two a week. I’m baffled why they need such a massive zoom in that setting. I’m more impressed by small digital and old film cameras, I get to see the odd classic and often call them over for a chat 😀
