Fear and Courage

Florida-based fantasy cat artist Carrie Hawks and her family recently adopted Anakin (“Ani”), an absolutely adorable male kitten born without a pelvis or back legs, describing him as a “miracle”. Hawks has created a comprehensive FAQ about Anakin and his life and runs his Facebook page (link) and Twitter feed (link) so that his new fans can watch his progress as he grows up. Of course, there’s lots of cute videos of Anakin playing.

In the depths of his garden on Batam Island, Indonesia, dedicated macro photographer Uda Dennie has mastered the art of photographing jumping spiders that have droplets of water on their heads, giving them the playful appearance of wearing large, reflective hats.

"The massive water droplets stay in place for about a minute, which is just the right amount of time for the 33-year-old to snap these shots. While most of us feel a bit squeamish when looking at macro photos of spiders, Dennie has somehow taken that uneasy feeling away, replacing it with curiosity and glee."
