cimorenei promised a picture of the spider. i forgot that our yard is, almost literally, a jungle. it's hard to see Miss Spider properly against such a brilliantly green background.
counting legs, she's close to as large of the palm of my hand and has some yellow markings on the black, you can see. also, she's done something very fascinating with her (humongous) web--there are these zigzaggy places where the silk is so thick it's impossible to miss, really visible, and bright white, not at all transparent. i mean, short places like mends, sorta, where this thicker stuff zigzags back and forth across the web. fascinating. pretty.
