spider
I walked out to water plants a bit ago, and saw this spider seemingly suspended in mid-air! Obviously he was not, but had made a very impressive web, which unfortunately I couldn't really photograph. The web is anchored at the top from the beam near the front of the roof over-hang shading the porch. One side is "anchored" to the windchimes hanging near-by, but also to a hanging geranium more than a foot away from the main web. The bottom "anchors" are attached to a plant sitting a step down from the porch - maybe 8 feet or more below the beam on which the top of the web is anchored!
You should have seen me trying to water the plants without damaging the web! LOL
The spider isn't very large - main body about 1/2" maybe - I don't know what type of spider it is, other than they are common here. Don't usually see them as large as this one tho, and having never photographed one, nor had the opportunity to see one this size just hanging out as this one was, never noticed the cool markings on it's back ...
