Description

***
This is a black and white jumping spider. I couldn't get closer for fear of it leaping at me. Not well detailed, but an appropriate image at the end of today.
CONGRATULATIONS to the Finalists and Staff Favorites! Best of luck in the next round!
I still can't write/sit very much, so I hope this general Congrats will do for now.

I agree, a very fitting image for Leap Day. Isn't it good that cameras have Zoom for this type of subject! Look after yourself=^..^= #1650948

It will do just fine Mary. It looks like something from another planet. You did get some gorgeous colors and you details do stand out. Don't blame you for not wanting to get to close. You did a beautiful job here dear friend. Love it. #11441672

Fantastic close up of this not-so-good-looking spider, Mary. It does seem to be eyeing you. #11442091
