I’m cool with snakes, lizards and most bugs but spiders? Nope, they are the reason I am cautious about visiting macro photography threads. It’s illogical, of course, at 5’9” and 160 pounds I’m roughly 10 times their size and weight.*

*As depicted in many macro photos viewed on a 12.9” iPad.

"Geez a hand there pal would ya?"

A teeny tiny skink caught in a red back's web by the looks of it. Don't worry I set him free after the photoshoot

Shot with the Lensbaby Velvet 56, yes.. the same lens that is renowned for it's soft 'velvetness' glow. Make no mistake this lens is sharp stopped down (shot f8).

While I was waiting for a wasp to come collect more of the caterpillar it was bringing home in pieces I watched this fight go down.

From the Scovill Zoo in Decatur, Illinois

the big ones from the Island chain:

Galapagos Tortoise Geochelone nigra

Sam (b. March 15, 1972) and Ella (b. March 15, 1969), are getting older, but for Galapagos Tortoises they are still fairly young. Galapagos Tortoises can live up to two hundred years old

I think I came across the sand lizard version of domestic bliss this weekend!

Out riding on the weekend and this creature was beside the road - (Undamaged). Black Headed Python was relaxed enough for me to stop, back up, take phone out of bag, turn it on and take a few photos. This snake is like many pythons reasonably harmless to adult humans.
