The Monster's Loose

Guess what we found in our yard? Just the biggest, fattest spider you could possibly imagine. It had put a web across the side pathway. The spider was even considerate enough to place the supports high enough so that Simon could pass underneath it (although if I hadn't noticed it, I could have met this guy face first).

Although this pales in comparison to the leaping sugar cane spider that Doris and Jen encountered one night in Hawaii, this spider is still pretty scary. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to get photographic proof. We managed to get one shot before it finally got too nervous and fled to safety.

We left the web alone for now. He'll be able to keep his home until Thursday when I have no choice to but clear it out when the gardeners come.
