Pictured above is a most enormous female golden-silk spider (body about 22-25mm) that the kids and I happened upon when we ventured into the woods behind our fence to retrieve a baseball. Not a horribly bad photo, but what was even better was the funny dance the photographer, yours truly, did in order to get in close for the shot. Good thing this is not one of our famous jumping spiders. I guess when it comes to photographing spiders, I’m the jumpy one. LOL
