Description

These are quite common here where I live.  They are beautiful too.  This one was strung up between some low hanging tree branches over my rock garden.  She almost ended up plastered across the front of me but I saw her there just at the last moment silhouetted against the brighter light of an open grassy area beyond the garden.

Very nice! These ones are probably the most photogenic spiders. :) I love taking shots of these. Beautiful!
