Gorgeous! Thanks, Paul. I use to grow them, but since they don't do well inside in the winter here, it means restarting every spring. So I settle on enjoying the hibiscus at the garden centers.

Oh man.... Those are some great photos!!
I always enjoy the insect/arachnid/reptile photos, too!
Those spiders: Being so vividly marked means that they are venomous?

Technically, most spiders are venomous (it's how they eat), but most spiders can't physically bite people (or won't even try). I imagine that with that coloration, they probably taste bad to birds, but I'm not sure. There are really only 2 spiders to worry about (in the USA): Black Widow and Brown Recluse. Most people that think they've been bitten by a spider were probably bitten by a wheel bug:

There was a ton of them there, probably eating japanese beetles. Their bite is reportedly on par with a hornet sting. I was surrounded by enough of them but I wasn't going to try and find out

I've seen those spiders all over Asia, and we have them here in Tennessee, too. I just wondered. I've always thought they were really pretty.
I was scrambling up the side of a mountain in Sequoia National Forest, because my dad and I were cutting firewood, (dead wood only, for obvious reasons) and it looked like there was a nice stand of oak, so I was going up to scout it out.
As I was trying to get up the berm where the road had been cut from the side of the mountain, I heard, "FTTTTTTTTTT!!!" I froze and found myself nose to nose, less than two feet from a timber rattler who was all coiled up and ready to rock 'n' roll.
I called out in a quavery voice, "Dad? DAD??!" I began to allow myself to slide back down, ever so gradually, until I felt that I was out of striking distance, and then quickly rolled over and over until I landed on the road. Shaking like a leaf, I went back to the truck, jumped in, and said, "Let's go find a different place to cut."
*shudder*
