Mr Bright Eyes by

A tiny jumping spider on the leaf of an elephant’s ear plant outside today, let me photograph him. What bright little eyes he had, and he certainly saw me coming, because he lived up to his name and jumped away very smartly after the photoshoot! Canon 40D, Canon 60mm macro, external flash.
