Spiders, Oh my!

 

Now I don't mind spiders generally.  I come across the occasional one here and there and usually walk around it.  Plus with five cats in the house, I never have to worry about stumbling into one in the dark in the comforts of my own home.

However, apparently my garden is fair game.  This big, ugly one has taken up home near the plumbago.  If his web is any indication, it is here for the long haul.  The web must span a good 3 feet.

My son says it's big enough to be a pet so he's named it Bob.  He seems to be fascinated by the spider.  I think my son needs to get a life, and Bob needs to move out!
