Mid-winter jumpers

Hi all,

I packed up my macro gear 2 or 3 months ago as the days were getting cooler and all the insects and spiders were becoming much harder to find. But I was out in the garden the other day and noticed a nice little jumper, so I grabbed the macro lens and had a wander around the backyard. Was a bit surprised to find 4 species of jumpers in a fairly short time. Not bad for the middle of winter!


Cheers,
Stephen

Nice shots.
I keep forgeting about the winter in Australia when here in Europe it's summer.

Nice shots, Stephen. That's quite a meal for that spider!

Wonderful captures.

Great captures and hope your winter is mild.

Those are great!

Wonderful jumper series !

Cool.

Just a minute!! Winter? 20ºC! those poor little blighters must be freezing!

Lovely shots, love the last one

#1 something doesn't quite work on the detail of the eyes, hard to explain
#2 love the POV, watch your highlights, my favorite
#3 nice!
#4 perhaps rotate it a bit?
#5 thats a huge meal

Thanks very much for the comments and feedback everyone! Much appreciated.

We are lucky here in subtropical Brisbane, where it's often sunny and over 20ºC in winter!

Cheers,
Stephen
