Picture Tales:
Skip the Jumping Spider |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
A surprise meeting at Burke Lake park resulted in a new friend
and a great photo opportunity. |
|
|
|

One day while taking a rest from my
walk in the forest
a Jumping Spider hopped onto my tripod leg and said
"hello!"
|
|
|
|

He moved closer and introduced himself as "Skip".
I told Skip that I was very pleased to meet him.
|
|
|
|

I changed camera lenses to better see Skip
and said "Oh my you're a handsome fellow!"
|
|
|
|

Skip replied: "Thanks, I can do tricks too. Do you like
these?"
Skip performed several tricks that were most impressive.
|
|
|
|

When Skip had finished
his tricks I applauded and said how much I enjoyed them.
He turned to me and gave a graceful bow.
|
|
|
|

It was
time for me to leave. So we said goodbye.
Skip watched as I headed down the forest path.
