Spiders in the garden (Testing out my new cam) + More photos

[Ian]

Well thought I would root around the garden to find some interesting subjects, and to my suprised, there were so many spiders. Haven't noticed them before...and thought they would make some good snaps. It was a little windy (which was annoying), so was hard to get very high quality photos. Anyway, here are a few that I managed to find:

Cheers. Yea, I have spent a lot of time trying to get the photos right...and taking them outside helps a lot as well, as it is natural light. Here are a few more:

Sorry for the large sizes!
