Bold Jumping Spider
Apr 4, 2021 18:21:22 #
This was a special Easter gift today. While working on my motorcycle a Bold Jumping Spider appeared on the rear fender. I held out my hand and it climbed aboard where I carried it to the granite planter and ran in to get the camera. It appeared to be enjoying exploring the large planter and held still long enough for me to get a few shots of it before it went into the flower bed where I hope that our paths will cross again and that it lives happily ever after.

and what a cooperative one too,good jobThanks, Tinusbum. I'm working on how to get those razor sharp images like those in your posts and with enough practice and a lot of luck I may get close some day.

Oh yeah the only thing cuter than a kitten. Nicely done
Thanks, Curmudgeon. I find them to be a very special treat and yes, cuter than a kitten and a puppy as well.

Nice to see a jumper shot.
Thanks, Brenda. I saw the first moths and June Bugs flying around the yard spot lights last night so things are popping more and more each day.

He's lucky he didn't end up in a stacking session. Nice shot, sippy.
Thanks, Kpmac. Jumping Spiders have a "Get out of Focus Stacking FREE" card. Way too adorable and quite friendly. I do come across a 'dearly departed' at times, mostly in the dog's outdoor water bowl and when I find them I revoke their card.

Cute & pretty!
Thanks, It was a pleasant surprise to see it and I was fortunate that it stayed where I put it until I could bring out the camera.
