What Are You Pointing At Me?

This little guy (6mm) was fearless. He kept looking at me, kept coming closer. He seemed so curious, so full of questions that, I thought, if he could speak, I'd be bombarded!

"What are you doing? What's that you're pointing at me? It's so big and round and shiny! Can I come nearer? Can I take a closer look? What's that KER-CHUCK sound it makes? Is it hungry? Oooh, I see another spider in there! He's good-looking! Can I be his friend? Will you introduce us? Can he come out to play? Why aren't you answering my questions?"

There is a large version to view. ;D

I can't believe it's October already. Just 50 more days to go! 8D

So cute! Love your little spiders and the great stories too!

[Marie]

Fantastic capture as always!

[Livia]

A great, big, surprisingly talkative and wide-eyed "THANK YOU!" to everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. I shoot every jumping spider I meet but I don't meet them all the time, unfortunately. Yesterday, I saw a few, but didn't get even a single shot because they either ran away faster than you can say "OH, look!" or they were in a place that was simply out of my reach. So, today, I think I'm going through withdrawal, I need to take some jumping spider shots soon or I'll go a little crazy. Haha.

Again, thank you so much for your encouraging comments!

[Beau]

Stunning capture. Great composition, and detail. Wouldn't it be great to know what spiders and other creatures were actually thinking.

[Tanja Carda]

Love your spider shots and stories to go with them. Your photos are always so detailed and crisp!

[Kitti Nelson]

Awesome capture as always - I love your storylines - they give a whole other dimension to your shots.

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Oooh he's a cute little guy!! Love that bit of colour on his forehead... well, ya know, if spiders had foreheads as such. He looks like he does :) LOVE your dialogue, had me laughing.

[Sharon]

Great capture of this little guy.

[Lisa]

AMAZING! fave!

[Carolyn White]

Their little faces are amazing! Wonderful capture! :0)
