I don't think I will ever get to love spiders :(( Have a great weekend Diane
Great shots. These were fun to see, especially that huge web.
Thank you for the photos. I have taken a few pictures of the lovely lady un our garden. We named her Saartjie. She's been living in our garden for almost a year, and sadly disappeared overnight. She left us a smaller girl...think it may be her off-spring.
