Discovery

Henry and I were out for a walk in the neighborhood, when I saw something out of the corner of my eye.  I saw a bright color and it seemed to be suspended in mid-air.  I turned to look and that is when I found this guy.  I have no clue what kind of spider this is, but I have never seen a spider quite like this one.  It was huge and the colors were very bright.

Henry and I finished our walk and returned home.  I grabbed my camera and went back out to get a picture so that I would have evidence when I told my family about this amazing spider.  It goes without saying that I took full advantage of my camera’s zoom on this shot.  This city girl did not want to get anywhere near this spider.

Henry was unfazed by it all.  He did not notice the spider, he was too busy smelling a patch of grass to even notice me staring at it.  Which is a very good thing.  I wouldn’t want him getting too close either.
