I found this little guy inside a flower I was taking a photo of. I didn't even notice him at first because he was so white. I have never seen anything like him before and while I am really not a fan of spiders at all I had to get in as close as possible to take a shot. I don't technically think he is albino but I have never seen a white spider before.
The Clydsdale horses out at Fort Steele were so majestic and beautiful that I wanted to get some close up shots of these amazing animals. It was obvious as soon as I approached the pen that there was a bit of a hierarchy among these animals and the largest and oldest horse was the one who approached. He was not in the least bit interested in posing for pictures however, all he wanted was his nose rubbed. So after a couple of trys with the camera I gave up and scratched his nose.
The last time I went out on a photo safari I was quite lucky with my insect captures. Not only did I get the snail and the baby grasshopper but I was able to capture this lovely little specimen. I was amazed when I looked at the photo and saw the bright green eyes something I would never otherwise have had a chance to see.

Last weekend as I was out wandering through the bushes looking for flowers I almost stepped on this little guy because he was sitting right in the middle of the path. I was interested to see what kind of photos I could get of him with my new macro lens. It was rather difficult as it had rained all the night before and the mosquitoes were all over me but I managed to get a few shots.
I love this photo, this is a straight out of the camera shot.
Today was the first time in about three weeks I have actually had the time and the energy to get out there with my camera. I actually used three different cameras, my usual Olympus SLR and then I played around for a while with my Holga and took a couple Polaroids. The Polaroids are a bust, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, maybe I just need more practice. Of course I have no idea what the Holga picture look like yet because I have to wait to develop them, perhaps they will make up a future blog post. I haven't yet actually developed any from my Holga so it will be quite a surprise I am sure.
I spotted this little guy as I was driving a long a side road today, I almost missed him but I caught sight of him out of the corner of my eye. It took a bit of waiting and standing very still before he would come out again after he first saw me but eventually he decided I wasn't going to eat him and posed nicely for me.
