    I like the greens and the spider is cute in a jumping-spider-kind-of-way

    Nice job keeping virtually the entire wings of the dragonfly in focus from that angle.

    Great shots of a great spider!

    We also have a nickname for these, Wolf spiders, based on their coloration. Their jumping ability and speed is amazing!
