Our yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia) is still hanging out with us. This morning there was heavy fog and dew, giving me this photo opportunity.

This spider was weaving her web as I watched.

The wasp was dragging this spider all over the porch. I’m pretty sure the wasp won this battle.

I saw this spider on our front porch. I didn’t want to get too close
so I don’t know if it’s alive or not. I’ll give it time to go on about its business, just in case.
I love outdoor art. Here are a few pieces in the Mueller neighborhood.

I love this spider. You can see the size of it when you compare it to a fellow hiker reading about the sculpture in the bottom right corner of the photo.

I passed by this artwork early in the morning. When I looked it up online, I found photos of it open. It is solar powered. I’ll have to go back and check it out in full sun.
