I dont have a macro lens yet. I want to get one, but I thought I would share some of these cool spiders.

These photos are from Florida, where we have these lovely spiny orb spiders. They are fairly small, about 1/4" across, but pretty common in the yard.

There have been lots of spider shots lately. These are a little soft, but I thought I would contirbute:

It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Was that shot through a screen? There's some weird banding or something going on. Don't think it's my monitor.
