spiders everywhere
these spiders and their webs are all over our yard. this one was taken with a flash, the only way a "professional" like me, can take this picture. so you really can't get a good look at the spider itself unless you go over here to loving long island's site. I have been trying to capture their webs for the last few weeks. somehow tonight I got lucky. it must have been the magic hour. the funny thing is, right before I snapped this photo, mr. spider just kicked out a leaf that had fallen into its web. you can see the big hole towards the bottom where the leaf kicking did some damage. it was pretty amazing to watch. we have another one taking up residence directly outside the entrance way to our house. since the people I live with don't like to kill bugs, (with the exception of mosquitoes and spiders inside the house) I suffered a small uprising when I was about to get rid of the web with the broom. consequently, my husband named him steve.

I think naming the creature is a great ploy. I've been tempted to name my pressure cooker for the same reasons.
I have one right now, from the rain gutters almost to the ground.
I love webs, but spiders creep me out. We have one in our garden that I swear is the size of a crab!
Thanks so much for all your recent comments, during this difficult time for my family.
Funny Kitty! I am afraid- now that you mention it. thankfully, since this post, Steve moved his web about a foot away from the door. I'd love to know what goes on with your pressure cooker.
Bobbie, it sounds like you have one huge web. I actually like them very much too. Thanks for the photo tip.
Hi Barbara, You have got one gigantic spider in your yard. I think you should call channel 12 and have them do a story on it.
Thanks for stopping by Bibi, I've been thinking about you everyday.
Twin #2 I had a feeling you would like this.
By the way, our Toyota Corolla goes by the name Sherman!
