Wednesday Photochallenge: Plants & Animals

in ruthphotostories •  5 years ago  (edited)

I'm feeling too bored to do anything, too blank to write about anything, too lazy to do anything today.

Luckily for me, today is Share your 'Plants/Animals' photos Wednesday!
This is a great opportunity to share an awesome picture of a tiny spider of the Thomisus genus (and by tiny I mean it's really really small, smaller than 10mm!)

Can you see it hiding behind its dinner?

Isn't it a cute little thing, looking around it with those super small eyes, trying to stay away from any lurking dangers? Personally I love this shot, it's among my favorites as it's not only accurate in its detail, but very balanced artistically. I just feel sorry for the other spider, the even smaller one that ended up dinner. Oh well, that's life... and it's a hard world we live in.

What do you say?

I say it will make a cool entry for this week's contest by @photochallenge on Whaleshares, and this is why I am putting it forward!

Until my next post,
Steem on and keep smiling, people!

I would like to own a good camera one day as i am interested in photography more than a hobby. It's a way of telling stories and sometimes words can't capture what lenses do :)

That is a cool entry, and a brilliant shot. I guess you have to be opportunistic in nature photography. A little like your spider. The chance for that shot--and that meal--may disappear quickly.
Good luck in the contest. And happy spring. Can't wait to see the wonderful photos that will be coming our way.
