Thanks Mark and Neil. Photographing spiders in webs or on leaves can be a bit of an art. I can never quite get it

What a neat looking spider. Guaranteed, if you want to take a photo of a spider outdoors, the wind is going to blow. It's a fact of life and is something I struggle with every time.

Good find. It's amazing how many variations of abdomen pattern these ones get. Doesn't look blurry to me :-)
