Halloween Candidate 2

 

... or maybe this one.  I love this shot because you see all her big brown eyes at once, while she stabs venom into her still-struggling victim.

 

 

Halloween Candidate 1

 

The first day of Halloween is almost here, and I'm trying to choose a mascot pic for the great day.  Should I go with this one, or...?

Fibonacci Loved Flowers

 

I know you don't want to look at cool spiders venomizing their hapless prey for too long, so here's a cone flower, up really close and personal.  Be sure to zoom way in to see all that polleny glory!

If you didn't get the title reference, here's a classic Vi Hart explanation of Fibonacci sequences, spirals, and pine cones: https://youtu.be/ahXIMUkSXX0

Garden Burrito!

 

Laura found this big ol' gal in her flowers, so I went and got the camera.  We were just having a lazy photo shoot together-- her completely motionless, me trying to get focus-- when all of a sudden dinner arrived! She shot across the web so fast I couldn't track her.  When I did catch up, she was busy wrapping up her burrito.  I got several shots of the spinning process. Pretty cool, if you're not the fly.

Your moment of Zen

 

Breathe in...

Breath out..

Repeat.
