A Non-Flower Photo

 

*****

Okay, so there are not any flowers in this shot, but we do have foliage and a picture of a bird : ) 

As I have been neglecting this blog for that month or so I figured I better get moving. 

We will be heading to this location in April for my son's wedding.

Black and Yellow Garden Spider

Black and Yellow Garden Spider; Argiope aurantia (aka Writing Spider, Banana Spider, Corn Spider)

Taken: 8/21/2010

In plain sight in the Wisteria. To gain perspective on her size, I included the bottom shot. According to

Wikipedia, the male will construct a smaller web in the proximity of the female web and wait to go

courting. After mating, the female typically kills the male.

These spiders are not believed to be toxic to humans or aggressive.
