Son of Fedor (Female Zebra Spider, Salticus scenicus)
Ooh, I caught Son of Fedor in the last of the light today! The sun was retreating behind my wall here, and only the top surface of the wall, and Son of Fedor, were in the light.
I think Son of Fedor is a Zebra Spider. Tiny little jumping spider, just a few millimeters long.
Thanks to MACRO Polo on the BBC Springwatch group for helping to ID these spiders. This indeed is a Zebra jumping spider, or Salticus scenicus. Judging from the male/female photos on flickr, I think Son of Fedor is a female.

285.365
If there's one thing that I dislike most about photography, it's shooting in direct sunlight. I had to suck it up and do it today, though. We drove into San Gimignano and Siena and walked around those two places for most of the day. It was phenomenal. I think San Gimignano is one of my family's favorite places yet. Tomorrow, we are visiting a few other small places which should be a good time. Hope everybody is enjoying their weekend.
Among my frivolous thoughts, I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts. The indications reveal that few of us realize life is quite surreal. So if you're dying to see, I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity.

Raja Repaint
She just arrived yesterday (Thanks Michaela!) and today i just couldnt resist doing her repaint. While she was in transit, i was planning on using berries and nudes for color, though i would still have to see her skin tone if it will work. and it did. Now she's my african queen, and cant wait for her to be my fitter. :D
