Spider!!!

Mom had a bad experience with spiders as a child and is afraid of them still. I didn't want to frighten her but we have the most beautiful spider living on the stair rail of our house. Just look and see if you don't agree.

I think I'll name her Charlotte. Is that a nest of babies?

Here she is dining on some poor fool who got fouled in her web. Mothers have to keep up their energy!

I enjoy watching her. Mom almost named me Wilbur...can you believe it!
