Backyard Finds: Argiope Aurantia

Timing and a little luck. Often this is what provides me opportunities to be inspired by nature and my surroundings. This black and yellow Argiope spider is no exception. I found this in the Forsythia bush behind my carport. I ran inside and retrieved my camera immediately. One need not always venture beyond one’s own home for rewarding images. Wildlife in the yard, objects lying around the house, friends and family, and let’s not forget pets all have something to offer.
