Field Notes

Habitat:

Woodland timber joining prairie restoration.

Notes:

I was photographing a spider and just happened to glance down for some reason. My eyes went right on the head of this gorgeous little girl. Had I not looked right at her, I would have never seen her.

Thanks Logan! I shoot a Nikon D7000 with a Tokina 100mm f/2.8 AT-X M100 AF Pro D Macro lens.
