Coneflower Pollinator

I photographed this Lynx Spider during a trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center last September. I used the focus stacking technique.

Sorry folks. Just testing. Taking a look under the hood to see if I can figure out this image problem. Thanks for your patience.

I stopped by a Jimsonweed at the LBJ Wildflower Center to photograph new pristine flowers when I spotted this Jimsonweed Pollinator.

I returned to the spot where I photographed a Yellow Garden Spider a few weeks ago and found her there encasing her prey in her web.
