Just a Garden Spider hanging out

Not very exciting, but I liked the patterns on his back. Also known as the Cross Orb-Weaver, I believe ... much more sophisticated!

Our cycling friends reached Inverness last night, over the Lecht. Their toughest day yet, I believe. A 20% gradient hill to ascend, and low cloud to contend with, but they made it there by 6.30 pm.

Runnnnnnnn. He's very pretty but I am not a fan of anything with 8 legs eew. You have made him look almost appealing to me...... very well done!

You can just see some of his strands of silk.

Marvellous…just in time for tea! I think they would want more than tea…a full meal please! Very pretty flowers & a great view of your spider.

Excellent macro- the Orb Weavers have some of the prettiest patterns of the spiders I think.
