New Neighbor

A couple of times now there has been a BIG spider making its web on the railing of my porch. I don't mind, except that it doesn't like getting its picture taken and always runs away before I can get in a shot! I think it feels the vibrations as I get closer.

Today I managed to get a few photos.

These first two are from the porch looking out at the yard. There was a really nice spotlight from the afternoon sun. This is about life size - maybe just a little larger than life.

He was starting to get a little nervous though. Getting a bit tangled...

I went around to the steps to try and get one from the other side. This is blurry, because it is an action shot - the spider did NOT like my camera getting so close and was climbing very fast to get out of the way!

He hasn't shown up again. We'll see.
