I had no idea today is #InternationalJumpingSpiderDay, so here's the first & only time so far I've managed the iconic "I'm just a cute little spood" shot. She's a female Phidippus johnsoni I saw while bicycle traveling in BC.

Photograph of a jumping spider of the species Phidippus johnsoni looking towards the camera from a small crevasse of grey rock with white and yellow lichens all around.

#InternationalJumpingSpiderDay you say?! A chance to share a photo of Zoey the Zebra Jumping #spider from earlier in the year, when she was living in our porch. Here she was climbing down one of the window panes. #arachtober #wildlifefrommywindow #invertebrates

A spider stands on a shiney black surface, staring at the camera with two large black eyes. She has two slightly smaller eyes to the outside of the main ones that give her her cute appearance. She is covered in dense hairs that give her a mottled appearance made up of white, blakc, and light brown colours.

🌱 #sixonSaturday from my tiny garden. The first picture shows a view of my tiny garden from an upstairs window. It is one of my happy places. The seasons are changing and we have had some welcome rain.

A collage of six pictures from my tiny garden this week. Clockwise the first large picture is a view of the garden from an upstairs window. There is a paved patio with a table, parasol, table and chairs and a lot of pots. Beyond is a small lawn, flower beds, a small glasshouse and a lot of trees and shrubs. The small pictures on the top are tiny Arbutus flowers and the purple flowers of Tulbaghia. The large picture at the bottom is an orange Dahlia followed by small green Arbutus fruits and a Chicory flower.
