Well here is the 1st of my shots at Finch Hollow Nature center from yesterday morning.
I'm more and more pleased with this 20D and the Sigy EX DG 24-70mm f2.8 macro.

As much as Spider creep me out :wow ....I couldn't pass up this guy!
He was just posing for me in the morning sun in his dewy web.

    Graphy you should see those ORBS up in Queensland ... mate you'd have a real sissy fit if you saw the size they grow in the tropics rolleyes1.gif

    Even I wouldnt go near the ones I saw, never never ever in my whole life have I seen spiders as big as those in the Northern parts of Queensland eek7.gif

    I like the ORBS awesome shaped bodies and markings.

    Glad your enjoying your gear Graph thumb.gif

    Nice series ...... Skippy :D
