I waited, and waited...and waited. Finally, I got up to stretch my legs and check what was going on down the path. I got perhaps 10 feet away and looked back; there he was, on top of that flower again! I tried to slowly sneak back but I couldn't get very close at all before he went back underside the flower. So, I went and got a camping chair, something to drink, and decided to wait it out.
When I got back with the chair, there he was again, but as soon as he saw me, he disappeared again. I set up the chair, leaned back with my drink, and just decided to wait him out. By this time my ankles were a smorgasboard for the mosquitos and biting flies, but I didn't budge...it was personal now and I knew I had to have this guy. My wife called in from the house that supper was on the table, but I wasn't going to budge. Finally, about an hour and a half after I first spotted him; he finally gave me a few shots. Worth the wait indeed...

No wonder I had a time scrolling across and down the monitor. 
No problem, just a minor bit of resizing ought to do the trick. 
Crab spiders do make good subjects in that they are most always still and seldom run away, unless you startle them. Good for predatory shots too!
