Walk in the park
Our good friends Em & Jay let us know about the newly opened Green Point Park which is right next to the stadium. Well, “right next to” took us a little while to find, but we did get there. It is a really stunning open space with a wonderful family vibe about it.
I can remember making sure to avoid stepping on the cracks between tiles and paving stones as a child, and I have often wondered why we do it, and today was the first time I saw Grace avoiding those cracks. There is a bridge over some water – the “Stepping Stone bridge” – and when we walked over it Grace made sure she stepped over all the cracks.

I also managed to get some photos of a crab spider which had caught a fly (in our garden). I think the smaller spider on her back is a male. With the plague of flies we have had this summer it is good to see all the animals helping.
Bad day to be a fly
I wonder why we don’t like to step on cracks in the pavement? It was worse as a child, but there’s still a part of me that prefers avoiding them.
Beautiful photo of the spider; what lens did you use?
It was just the standard 18-55 lens that comes with the kit. In this case I used a technique I learned from my cousin – cropping for enlargement. It is fine for screen display, but I think the left over resolution would be too small for a print (with this particular cropping that is).
