Picture post: spider

August 19, 2006 – 2:55 pm

Since I got my 50mm macro lens I have been itching to get some good photos of some really small things. I’ve tinkered around with it in the back yard, but I’ve yet to capture anything really interesting out there. This week I decided that it was time for me to start planning more outings with my camera, in search of tiny critters to photograph. So today I drove down to Okaloosa Island and roamed around in the woods for a couple of hours. It was extremely hot and humid, I was sweating and trying to avoid the yellow flies. There were all manner of prickly shrubs poking my feet and legs. All in all, it was wonderful.

Most wonderful of all though, is this lovely picture of a spider, amongst the young buds of a wildflower. It makes all the time and money spent on gear totally worthwhile for me.
