On a walk this afternoon, I saw several black-eyed Susans with a crab spiders lurking amongst their petals. When I got in close, however, the wily spiders would duck under the petals. This spider, however, was more than happy to pose for me as I rattled off many frames.
This is the first time out for a new lens—an Olympus 60mm, f/2.8 macro. I think it’s a keeper!
Panasonic GX8, Olympus 60mm macro lens, ISO 800, f/8, 1/800″ exposure.

Lovely shot. Curious. How many lenses have you returned?

Thanks Gill! Camera equipment comes and goes. I’ve gone through a couple different camera systems—bodies, lenses, etc—and several small hikable cameras. Like most gear related activities, photography has a bit of gear churn to it!

Nice John. Did the spider have a modeling contract as way of staying in sight?

Yes, it required use of a very small pen for its signature…
