8/365 “Arachnophobes” Beware!

Okay, if you are afraid of spiders, you may want to skip this post.  This giant spider has taken up residence next to our back porch with the tons of other types of spiders that live on our house.  I had full body goose bumps and my palms were all sweaty just from trying to get a shot of this thing.  (and I was using my 55-250mm lens for this so I could stand farther away.  I wish I had a macro for a better shot, but I don’t know if I could have even got myself close enough to get a good macro shot without freaking out)
