This lonely Baobab tree grows in the field near the R22
It is without leaves at the moment and looks extra dreary on a moody overcast day

An African Masked Spider brought to me for a photo shoot
Although the container was lined with leaves and quite comfortable, the little spider was pleased to be set free and I had to act fast to get a few shots
These little spiders have amazing defence tactics as you can see below
It lifts and moves the abdomen from side to side while stretching out to look as big and threatening
as possible. I call it the jungle dance - all that's missing is the beating of a drum.
Note the 'mask' and the position of the front legs - held in such a way to look like pincers
