White Egret - I'm working on better shots. Trying to avoid over exposure - but its tough. Here I"m shooting at ISO 100 and shutter speed of 1/4000 at f/2.8. The white was slightly over exposed - got to figure out how to anticipate this as the viewfinder light meter is not very helpful for fine tuning.

Takeoff - the right leg has a problem and never gets fully retracted.

My new spider - Uloborus glomosus - featherlegged orb weaver. This is a juvenile male - apparently as he matures, he loses the featherleg structure and stops buiding webs - more interested in a female
