Celebrating her 11th birthday today!
(We had a photography appointment at 11 minutes past 11)
Happy birthday Piwo - thank you for being such a sport!

I had no time for a photo today - this one was taken yesterday.
This tiny Jumping Spider was quite cheeky and seemed to challenge the camera.
The object to the left is binding wire on the fence post - showing by comparison the size of the Spider.

This docile Lynx Spider arrived on my desk in a container this morning.
It had shed its exoskeleton during the night and is probably 'in recovery'
where it has settled on the rim of a pot of Violets.
Below is an extreme close-up of the exoskeleton showing the frightening fangs!

My thanks go the "Leafies" for this beautiful specimen!
