A spiny-backed orb-weaver spider I saw hanging about in the gardens. 🕸️ #WebWednesday #31DaysOfOctober #Spooktober #Photography #Spiders

A spider with a crab like shell hangs down from the web it is weaving. Its shell has bright red spikes around the thickest part. Background is blurry greens with hints of orange and blue. The rest of the web can be seen at the top of the frame.

For #arachtober: my favorite of the fishing #spiders Six-spotted fishing #spider - Dolomedes triton (Shot near Cincinnati 4-24-24) 🕸️🕷️ #photography #macrophotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #animal #invertebrate #arachnid #spidersky #ento

A six-spotted fishing spider (Dolomedes triton) anchored to an aquatic plant at their abdomen and back legs as they stretch their front legs out over the murky, still surface of a vernal pool to look for food. Their head and front legs are pointed toward the bottom right of the frame. Their abdomen and back legs are in shadow while their front legs and cephalothorax are in the light.

Gulls in flight during a recent blustery day at the beach (I know they’re not the most skittish of wildlife, but they were still very tolerant of me lurking in their midst while they poked around for food.) #Birds #BirdPhotography #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Photography

Photograph of a mottled gray and brown gull flying toward the camera with waves crashing behind. Its head is down as it surveys the surf for snacks.

For #Arachtober 1st, an image I have been saving for 11 months. This encounter was exciting because Pirate Spiders do not weave orb webs. They commandeer other spiders' webs. She likely ate the resident. This was the first I have seen in a web. Pirate Spider (Mimetidae) #macrophotography #spider

#Arachtober 1: the lights on this pedestrian bridge create giant spider shadows! The casters are the appropriately named bridge spiders, _Larinioides sclopetarius_. #DailySpiderPic #spiders #orbweavers #Araneae #Araneidae

A pedestrian bridge by night, with downward-facing lights set underneath the wooden railings. A spider has built its web directly beneath one, creating a giant spider shadow on the walkway.

A further-out view showing the bridge curving away, with dozens of similar lights.

An orbweaver spider at the centre of its symmetrical, wheel-like web. It has a darker leaf-like marking (the folium) on the top side of its abdomen which looks a little like a fleur-de-lys.

Be rude not to take a photo of a seasonal star, the Ivy #bee. This time of year it's clear to see why Ivy's so important, it's buzzing with bees, flies, and wasps. #MacroMonday #wildlifefrommywindow #invertebrates #UKWildlife

A squre photo that is a close up of an Ivy Bee on a cluster of Ivy flowers. Each ivy flower is like an icecream cone of green on the end of a pale green stalk, radiating from the ivy stem. Eacy flower is about the size of the little bees head. The bee is drinking from one flower with it's antennae pointed downwards. It has large black eyes, with an fuzzy orange face, and very pale hairs being its eye. The thorax is covered in short orange hairs, and the abdomen is striped with black and pale yellow.

Blackbird Morning! ...After days of dominance by Steller's Jays, this Saturday morning, the Red-Winged Blackbirds took over the place. #birdoftheday #pairs #wildlifephotography #nature #birds.

Photographed 26 September 2026, I knew the blackbirds were back at the farm from all the sweet songs (and a little less of Jays squawking). Jays are bigger and more aggressive but they do NOT want to be mobbed by Blackbirds! So they kept their distance for awhile. Safety in numbers...
Northern Oregon coast, Nikon D7200, 200mm F/5 1/640s ISO 2000, largely straight out of camera except for a cropping.

A mob of Red-winged Blackbirds were hungry enough to keep the Steller's Jays away for a little while. It's the numbers game...

not fond of wind these days. not good for reflections on water. but years ago I loved flying paper kites. I'd replace the paper with a clear dry cleaner bag, tail & all, & when it was a few 100' up, you only saw string. now here's an idea, a live one. #InsectThursday #butterflies #insects #bugs

I decided to stalk hummingbirds this week. I had been waiting in one spot for quite awhile and not had much luck so I wandered off and just happened to walk right up to this ruby throated hummingbird having a drink in perfect light. #FlyDay #Photography #Birds #Hummingbirds
