Giant Spider Web Blowing in the Breeze with My Flags

Most days I'm a huge fan of spiders, but lately, spiders have invaded my personal spaces. First, there was the creepy spider baby invasion on my hanging ivy. Last night, a gargantuan grass spider was in the bedroom; it was so big, we thought we had seen a mouse scampering along the wall. Tonight, a black jumping spider crawled out of the crevices of the couch to jump on my squealing daughter. This photo shows the glorious workings of another bulbous monster who has laid his giant web on my sacred back porch. As soon as I came around with the camera, she scampered up from the web's center and hid in the shadows. I'd like to live peacefully alongside, at a slightly greater distance, happily photographing their wondrous arachnidity, but these guys are making things hard. 8:36PM
