Macaulay Mountain Museum Garden
Spiders are quite big by this time of year, and the more colourful ones stand out until the fall colours become predominate. This one has a fascinating pattern on its back.
Last year, I went out onto the little upstairs balcony of my cabin around midnight to look at the stars and I was suddenly bitten on the bottom of the foot - I imagine a spider which, feeling the vibration, thought he had caught a dinner big enough to last the next month.
It felt like I had been bitten by a viper - not that I ever have - and I danced around in pain for at least an hour.
I rarely go out onto any deck now in my bare feet.
Still, after reading Charlotte's Web, I still have respect for them and enjoy watching them.
