Yet it's the other thing that really surprises you! Great set Roberta. I love the spider images, particularly the first and the rest are all great images. Did the hawk take off after you took the second image?

Thanks Morris.
The first picture was of the hawk seeing me. The one above it , is the branch he moved to after he saw me.

These are all great Birdie, but that 1st spider with the doplets on the web is just too cool for school, and the last with the hawk giving you "the look" is another winner. Nice work.

Much appreciated Eric. You know I did not even notice the spider with the naked eye it was so tiny. I was so very pleasantly surprised when I saw it through the lens.
