I have been keeping track of this spider on my walks on the Red Hill. She's a White-backed Garden Spider. The first time I took her picture I just happened upon her trying to get a picture of the white flower (Sacred Datura, Jimson Weed, Moon Flower) behind her web. I thought it was a good trick to build the web right in front of the flower to catch bugs flying into the flower. The flower is long gone now, but the spider seems to be doing just fine. It's a good excuse to take a walk up there pretty often!
We've enjoyed some beautiful skies while "checking on the spider". I really don't need much of an excuse to take a walk up there!
