Phone pictures while on the dog walk today.

Is that a spider also?

The cameras on phones just keep getting better along with the processing behind the lens.

All of these images were from subjects swaying in a light breeze. the only thing I did from auto was set the focus and exposure to the main part of the subject.

I can practically see the allergens flying off them.

And that could well be a spider. Or maybe it's part of the plant.

Anyway, super well done!

I hadn't seen the spider until after looking at the picture at home.

Could be a Harvestman. Better environment for them than Daddy long legs who prefer indoor or sheltered environments. My picture doesn't show good focus on the body.

Love this site. Always someone who knows what these things are.
