January 28 2017–Spider a hiding, flowers a blooming!

 

 

Another perfect day in East Gippsland today. A walk around my garden again, this time with a focus on spiders!

Can you spot him?  I don’t know what kind of a spider he is, but unless he moves, he looks just like a piece of bark, or a dried leaf.

Here’s another fellow hiding in a different place.  I have seen these holes all over the yard, but to my knowledge I have not actually seen the whole spider.  I have noticed his front legs sometimes at the top of the hole, but I have never seen one fully out of the hole.  If they are, as I’ve been told, Funnel Web spiders (not the deadly kind)  then they are very secretive spiders!

And a perfect water lily growing in the pond!
