**edit: changed the butterfly pic to the one it was supposed to be, thanks Oscar!

This fella was on the glass and I couldn't resist!

These guys are EVERYWHERE right now, never realized how fast butterflies are! I was following one down a trail and he was way in the lead... until a bird swooped in from the other end of the trail and the poor butterfly ended up as lunch lol

Nice jumper. The whole reflection thing is a great concept.

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks TheFantasticG

Damn Not entirely sure how I feel about the colouring of the fangs... But I like the shot! Spiders scare the **** out of me though; so I didn't look to long!

The butterfly is really nice! Whatever was in the back at the top left is slightly distracting. But when you're chasing butterflies around who has time for the tiny details?

Nice shots Judi. And Oscar that is the actual color of the fangs and not a PP job.

Yeah but the rest of the pic is converted to b and w, no? Which is what i meant. The choice to leave the colour there

I don't think Pixel converted to B&W, those spiders are black and grey in real life (except the green fangs).

Pixel - nice shots, yet again!!!

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks OscarWilde, Jerry and BlackSheep

OW, (insert favourite swear word here) thanks for pointing out the top left, I uploaded the wrong edit lol I updated the OP with the one that was supposed to be there
I was and still am very uncomfortable around spiders, these guys are pretty tiny and just suck me in because I know how awesome they are with those big eyes.
BlackSheep is right, it isn't converted to B&W

Pix.. why is there a double reflection on the jumper?

 

[PixelRabbit]

Hey Charlie, double pane glass on the greenhouse side of the house. If I get flat enough with the glass I can get only one reflection but didn't get there on this shot.
