All excellent. One must wonder how many subjects are just not seen.

Thank you, dy5 and Mark!
Mark - absolutely, we are amazed by what we "see", like you mentioned can only ponder how much goes unnoticed

Re: Blending in!
It is things such as that spider, that cause me to wonder about all that is out here in our mountains and foothills, that on any given day during a leisurely walk we miss a great deal of all that we came to see. I once used to hike quite a bit and when people would ask me about all that I had seen along the way, I would offer to them to have a seat. A great set of images.
