lovely Maria, Congrats!
Thanks, EnvUnlimited, Jim and Mac! Jim, it's great to hear that you are feeling inspired by Noah, too! We look forward to your future spottings!
Congratulations on your SOTD! Your comments are wonderful and inspiring. I was introduced to Project Noah last summer at ALI'I by one of the Hawaiian teachers who uses it in her class and she shared the program with us. It took me a little while to get started, but I'm hooked, now. I just want to improve my photography, now. Maybe there will be a SOTD in my future. Thanks for all you do!
Congratulations Maria on your SOTD
Love this photo. Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much for putting this tiny spider in the spotlight! If it weren't for Project Noah, I wouldn't have gone back three times to this area to try and get photos of these tiny red dots underneath flat webs in the grass. Since the webs are horizontal and the spiders hang underneath, it was difficult to get one in focus. It's because of what I have been seeing and learning from you all in Project Noah that I went back, ended up on my hands and knees in the grass trying to get a shot to share. It was a lucky day as I finally managed to "capture" one (and also get my first good shots of a jumping spider - before Noah, I didn't get excited by spiders). I am so appreciative of Noah and all of your contributions that have expanded my knowledge of nature. Thanks for all of your spottings and thanks for the kind comments, too! :>)

Congratulations Maria! This beautiful series has earned you spotting of the day honors! Thank you for sharing & for all your hard work on the ranger team.
A tiny spider sits in its dewdrop-encrusted web in our spotting of the day! Webs spun by this 3-4 mm long spider consist of tangle of threads that intercept flying prey causing them to fall into a horizontal sheet of silk below, where they are consumed.
