Have a Blessed Day!

Thank you, Michael. I've enjoyed these very much. All are excellent and the colors on the spider are extraordinary I also find it curious as to how it has its legs paired together while posing for you.

Very nice. I agree that your butterfly isn't so plain! And the colors on your spider are wonderful.. though I am not a "spider fan" Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed them.

I like them all Michael, another quality set, although the first is particularly attractive.
I think its the excellent colours in the picture especially in the background, very appealing even though the birds head is in shadow the whole thing works very well, nicely done buddy

A good cross section of creatures Michael. I love the stance of the lizard. He looks as if he's standing proud and posing. I guess that might be an 'alert' posture or something?
Thanks for the beautiful colours and warm feeling. PAUL

Great shots, love the Bulbul and the lizard.Nice to have birds close to the porch, the only thing that comes around my house are Grackles looking for any left over dog food.

Thank You Mike! I've seen this behavior in spiders before, they think they are hiding and it's a protective posture.

Thanks Beach! That was one of my favorites from the trip, even the shadows helped in the composition. I appreciate your comments my friend!

Thank You Paul! He was a bold little guy, Yes he knew I was there, when I tried to get just a little closer, he was off like a shot! Glad you are back safe and sound my friend.

Thanks Fred! I used to have the same problem when I lived in Arizona, only then it was the Catus Wrens getting the dog food. I guess they are better than the flying Rats anyway.
