Richard I love this photo. First because of the color of these leaves, the color is so vibrant and the shape so different and beautiful. And then you go and see a little critter, There goes that eye of yours again. How you see these things no one will ever know. Magnificient!

Now that is the kind of spider that I don't mind--small and apparently harmless=but, that could be a deception on its part- excellent photo!!!
