[big baldo]

Hey all!. I've been out of the loop for a few weeks and havent had much time for any shooting.:cryin: My work always gets crazy when we start a new project.I've been lurking in the shadows reading and looking at everyones posts. there are some really great shots lately!:thumbsup:
Heres a few from the past weeks. Nothing great but fun to try.
I've got some nice fire ant bites on my elbow from trying to get a better angle on the ibis shot.lol
I have never seen this type of spider, until I moved to Fl. Nature works in funky ways!!
Thanks for looking
1. White Ibis (juvenile) I think
2.Black necked stilt (I'm trying to figure out how to put a frame on)
3.Funky spider (all you spider buffs can help here)

We're all glad you're still around

Nice images all. Nice composition on the ibis, nice reflection on the stilt, and that funky spider - well that's just funky.

Thanks for sharing.

Very strange looking spider indeed...If you hadnt stated it was a spider I would have thought it to be some odd looking crab
