Come into my parlour

I know this spider is not quite up to the photos that Keith Porteous @kporte takes , but quite good for me. Not the prettiest spider in the world.

I think it may be a golden orb spider, but not sure, perhaps Keith can verify that one for me.

I am posting early today because I won't be home till late tonight.

Great image Babs, it certainly looks like a garden orb spider, love it when they leave their webs out to walk through in the morning :-)

Thanks to all of you. Thanks Rachel and Sally for identifying the spider for me.
@yaorenliu It is probably poisonous but not deadly I believe.
@hermann Luckily this one wasn't in our garden. I spotted it on a walk. We get a lot of crab spiders in our garden and their web is so strong. Know what you mean when you walk through a web. Yuk. I hate it.
@eyesmile Thanks so much Gena and thanks for the fav. too. I am on a bit of a catch up today too. Had an emotional couple of days, followed by a busy weekend. Hope to catch up tonight.

[Kerry]

Wow that is fantastic

[Elaine]

This looks like a golden orb to me Babs and its a lovely capture.

[Lee]

You've captured the colours well Babs, Good one.

@kezza1319 @gamelee Thanks so much. @elaine55 Thanks Elaine for identifying it for me. I wasn't sure.
