Recording Motion Picture

This is my photograph of recording motion using shutter speed. I saw this flag at our Elementary school and I thought it would be the perfect thing for me to practicing shooting! (Remember I am talking photography here*wink*)

Griffin and I went on a nature walk today. He ran around collected sticks and threw rocks in the water while I practiced my photography.

Perhaps tomorrow Joe will take us for a hike so I can work on my next two assignments for this week. I am kind of behind but I am really trying to learn the concept before I move on!

Cat Spider a.k.a Araneus gemmoides

While Griffin and I were taking a nature walk around the house we came across this spider. This is known as a cat faced spider, known to the scientific world as Araneus gemmoides. <----Just in case you are ever asked the scientific name of a cat faced spider, now you will know *wink*

I am sure we have all come across one of these spiders, as they are very common during this time of year, but I had to share my photo. And I wanted to let everyone know I got up real close and I was going into a cold sweat just trying to get the perfect picture. I don't like spiders especially big ones!

I am glad I got a close up because now I can take the time to examine all of its features. Why do spiders always have hairy legs, of course there a few that don't daddy long legs, but most spiders have hairy legs...why is this? Perhaps I will learn one day until then enjoy your blurfing!!!
