I am find subjects more easily here than in Spain. I need to become less excited and more accurate with my shots.

Nice job.

Brenda: Good to see you shooting in your "new" locale. Are you close to the coast? Looks like a beautiful place.

Very enjoyable series! I love spiders and don't get to see many in dry central Washington State.

Yes Allen, we are on the Kent coast here and within walking distance to nice sandy beaches and there are rock pools in some places. My first macro trip was in the lovely park opposite my son's house. I might break out the tubes on my next effort, we are busy at the moment and when I sneak away to do macro the hours just drift away.Brenda: Good to see you shooting in your "new" locale.

I rarely get to see Long-jawed orbweavers like your spiders 1, 2, & 5.
The pedipalps on spiders 3, 4, 6, and 8 determine these as male.
I hope you can eventually identify all of these, especially the Lynx spiders 7 & 8.
Nice cross-section of arachnids.
