Reflections and Musings

Sometimes I get really deep, introspective and reflective. Just like this jumping spider, reflecting off my car. Did this spider chill out on my mica-colored RAV4 begging to be found and photographed? Yes. Did I give it all the attention it craved as it gazed into the lens with its big puppy-eyes? Yes. Did I scream like a banshee every time it jumped at the camera? Yes.

This guy was probably only about 5mm in size. Even though my car is a darker color, the sun was hitting it in just the right way to produce these glass and water-like reflections, casting the background in a sky blue color. I love how jumping spiders all have different faces and personalities, only seen when getting down into their world.
