Fishing Spider

I was happy to see my first fishing spider of the season at the Innovation Place pond. I've been looking for them for a while but haven't spotted any. When I looked this morning I noticed this one almost right away. And I managed not to frighten it and send it diving underwater. The trick is to move slowly.





I've been carrying my "big' camera back and forth to work, but I hadn't used it lately, so today I switched back to carrying my little one. Of course, then I spot something to photograph. But the little ZS100 does a pretty good job.

It's nice to stop at the pond early, on my way into work. Later in the day it tends to turn into a playground with all the families and kids. No peaceful lunches by the pond these days.
