It seems to be spider week here at Affinity. Opus has sent us some incredible photos of a bright orange beauty.
I can’t remember if this appeared previously on Affinity, but even if it did it might be worth a second run. Several years ago I was walking down the driveway when I noticed that an acorn was walking the same direction that I was. It was actually a spider, probably a Marbled Orb-weaver spider. I was able to take a number of photos before releasing her to (hopefully) lay her eggs. It was a rainy day, so reflections were a problem. No matter, she was absolutely gorgeous! (In case anyone is interested: Nikon D700 and Tokina 100 mm macro lens)
The spider is gorgeous, Opus, and so are your photos. They are definitely worth a look. Thanks for sharing.

Its good to remember that not everything orange is evil.
Orange beauty with gorgeous markings. Lovely photos Opus!
What a beautiful, colourful spider! And I love that first shot, showing her weirdly cute little face.
The markings of the last look like they’ve been drawn on by a cartoonist.
Wonderful shots.
I love the color on this one. Note that the markings look similar to the one I posted, apart from the colour those two look remarkably similar.
A sprightly fellow. Probably has a spunky attitude to match!
