Spider in UP Michigan

Here is a spider that I found in a dewy field in Seeny National Wildlife Refuge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on September 2, 2006. I had actually photographed this same spider the previous day, but decided that the background had been too distracting, so I wanted to try again. This was the last shot I got during my week-long trip to Michigan to attend a Rod Planck photography workshop with a few of my favorite photographer friends.
