Hello all you #photographylovers, toady I was in the garden taking a couple of photos of some tiny flowers on a bush. While looking back through them I noticed something in the top edge of one of the images, it had spiky legs and was clearly very small so I went back to investigate what it was.

Photo bombing bug.

It took me a few minutes to hunt it down as it had moved, it turned out to be a little spider, no more than 10mm long. My SLR camera was not at hand so with my very old Olympus TG4 set to macro I snapped a couple of shots.

Hiding away.

At first it was tucked away under a leaf but soon started to move around.

Getting a little closer.

After a while it came out into the open and sat on top of one of the flowers making for a lovely shot. It seemed to be soaking up some of the scorching sunshine we have had today.

Now call me stupid if you will but I don't use this compact often and totally forgot to use the zoom so probably could have got in a bit tighter on some of the shots. I'm so used to my Prime lenses on my DSLR that it didn't even cross my mind, oh well that said they came out OK and I have to take my hat off to the little compact.

Catching some rays.

I have had a bit of a look on line but couldn't identify the name of this spider so for now i'm going to call it "Boris" until someone can give me a more scientific name.

Hope you enjoyed my attempts at macro, until we meet again stay safe folks!
