Hiya All,

Found this tiny ' Crab Spider ' about 3mm lurking in some ' Daisys ' it was so damn windy I picked the flower & pinned it down as best I could with a 20 Pence Coin & it still flapped about :rolleyes: not the best I'm afraid :lol:

Cheers for now
Mark

Hiya Scot079,

Many thanks for your kind words & comments,

Ah now that's the 64 million dollar question & difficult to answer in my case as I only have one hand left as I stupidly cut the other off a few years ago :lol:

And no I don't use my teeth but have been know to use my feet though for steadying, don't tell everyone though coz they might wanna try it:lol:

Cheers for now
Mark

Well done Mark. We have had a rough time with wind here this last week as well, it blew 90kph gusts all day thursday, stripped a lot of leaves and branches off the trees. Crab spiders are one of my favourite subjects.:D

Hiya Trevor, Skylab, RM, Macro junkie, Alex, Paul, Bill

Many thanks for your kind words & comments,

Trevor,
The winds have not been quite that bad, just enough to blow things around to much for comfortable shooting

RM,
Not sure what I've done with my Lighting :confused::lol:, you know me ' Mr. Inconsistency ' probably be back to normal next few Shots, but thanks anyway

Macro Junkie,
Now there lays a tail, I could go into a long & boring story of how I got my hand Chopped off & make everyone feel sick or the short version, which is I had a fight with a Saw & lost, it had sharper Teeeth than I :lol:

Bill
No worries you wouldn't be the first ;):lol::lol:

Cheers for now
Mark

Nice shots Mark, gotta say it's the last one for me. just holds more interest. You did well holding the whites and not blowing them.
