Nature boy

This is Hayden's latest "friend". Now, Riley likes to find and catch frogs and lizards as much as the next 6 y/o boy, but Hayden has taken the "sport" to a whole new level. He's even a little obsessed with it! I took a picture for him this morning. Here it is:

HEEBIE JEEBIES

This kind of stuff just makes my skin crawl. This spider has made herself at home right outside of one of our living room windows. She isn't very cooperative either. I would like for her to crawl over onto the other side of her web so that I could get better pictures. As it is, I can't get her colors to really show up unless I shoot through the living room window...which doesn't make for a sharp photo....not to mention the more distracting/brighter background. Icky old spider!
