Along came a spider

halloween morning spider

One of our neighbors here in the Cove is the drummer for a famous band and since he's on tour all the time, his deck tends to go native. You'll see a squirrel squatting on the roof, birds nesting in the arbor, a stray cat asleep on the stairs. And on Halloween morning there was this spider, as big as a golf ball, quivering in the midst of an enormous web. It waved as I got the shot, then settled in to wait for the mailman.
