Sunshine’s Macro Monday #39

Water dragons are quite quick when they spot you. This bloke was enjoying the sun and I was sneaky.

The back leg claws aren’t as long as the front leg
Amazing rough skin
Such a red underside
The back of his head
and that eye

It’s very small

Sunshine’s Macro Monday #38

OK all my spiderphobes, this fearsome looking but colourful spider is about 12mm in size. Sure it has prey in the web almost twice its size but take the time to look at a wonderful most unusual tiny, yes tiny spider I found on my place during a bit of a wander about. It is a Jewel Spider and is a female. The males are 5mm!! Maybe there was one on the web and I didn’t see it.

Was that enough warning?

Look in wonder

Very green

Sunshine Macro Monday #34

It has been a good flowering of the Hibiscus plants in my garden. I think I have posted a few for Macro Monday of the exotic flowers in the past. This one is an Australian Hibiscus from cuttings of a plant that was at my besties old place. The garden there had plants from the early days of the previous occupants of the early 1920’s. This is the first flower of the plant.
