While playing with my new [macro lens-reversal ring](https://smile.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Reverse-Camera-Adapter-Filter/dp/B001G4PA36/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474272427&sr=8-1&keywords=macro+reverse+ring+canon), I decided I wanted to see a close-up of some marigold flowers growing in our backyard. When I got right up next to the flower with the camera, I noticed a tiny little spider between the petals!

Now I could really put my new macro ring to the test! It was tough to get the shot because I was sweating like crazy in the hot sun, I didn't have my tripod, and there was a slight breeze was blowing the flowers around! But I fell back on my fail-safe strategy of taking lots and lots of photos, and I got a sharp shot of the tiny little spider's face!

I stepped back a little to show you some context.
