I went on an expedition to take some pictures for a spider guide. While some spiders scurried around while I chased them (with a macro lens which was not easy!) this particular spider just stood there and stared at me. Funny how spiders can seem so scary to many but looking into these beautiful eyes I saw no threat. The bedhead hair and wide open "deer in the headlight" eyes gave this spider some human character. Every time I look at this picture I can't help to smile a little as I cannot get the image of someone awoken with surprise out of my head.

On another note, the reason why this spider didn't run is because it is a jumping spider... they are very curious, and fearless. :) I love them, they're so darn cute :)
