Dolomedes triton
Six-Spotted Fishing Spider (AKA: Fishing Spider, Nursery Web Spider, or Raft Spider) floating down a waterway that spills Into the Alabama River. Though the poor lighting and swift current really hurt the focus on this shot, I liked the way the spider's legs made a flower-like impression on the water's surface.

Thanks! Though I snapped the photo, it was my son who actually noticed this guy floating down the river. He is thrilled to see so many people enjoyed seeing it as he did!
Yes, looks like a flower. Nice shot!
