Overly-exhausted and artificially caffeinated random blabby-chat to follow:
Full admission, I used to be absolutely terrified of spiders and there still are some that give me a good jump scare. That said, photographing them is something that helped me combat my fear. Through observing patiently with any kind of lens as an excuse to slow the panic in my mind, I learned that these creatures are quite exquisite. Now, there isn't a jumping spider (not pictured but is my favorite) I come across that I don't try to befriend! (Including one I got into my hand to bring outdoors last year, a feet no one could see as a single possibility in this lifetime).

This little wee one was exploring this web yesterday afternoon between rails of a walking bridge over the river far below. It was quite difficult to get the camera to focus on the spider due to how small it is and everything else going on, and a breeze didn't help, but all of that gave me more time to admire this little muse.

Long story never short; I hope more people are able to slow down and appreciate just how spectacular our spider friends are, and even challenge fears by allowing ourselves to become better acquainted with those we may fear.
