Orb Weaver Spider – UK

These are the most common in my garden in summer and autumn, once they web up somewhere I try and take great care to not disturb them. But now and again they are invisible – usually when I am concentrating on taking a picture and my focus is different, so they get disturbed a bit.

Garden spiders UK

Amazing how many different spiders there have been just in my small garden. I have listed all the ones from the last two years and hopefully will get more this year. And because I have a number of pics for each, I think a post showcasing each of them will soon come as well 🙂

Coral

I have a piece of coral that my grandparents used to have in their house when I was growing up. It fascinated me and was delighted when they gave it to me. Funny to think this coral has been in my family longer than I have! This week it has stepped up as a great photography subject. It’s highly likely I will be posting more coral shots.
