Aranea, the garden spider. Lovely creatures, especially when the sun catches them; they glow.

It was rain, actually. That’s probably why it caught my eye from inside the house — I don’t think I would have even noticed if not for the raindrops.

I never understood why some people are so frightened by spiders. Most of them are harmless and the ones that aren’t tend to avoid people.

Orb Weavers are great! I have them all over my garden. Such cool little creatures.
