(Arachnophobes may want to avoid link-clickage in this post)
Just found one of these on my morning dogwalk. I didn't notice the zigzag web thing, I was too entranced by her amazing pop-art stripes and colours. Will take the camera with me later and see if I can get my very own pic of her. She was stunning.
The usual outdoor spider round here (the one in my icon, and the one who weaves webs at eye-level on the wood path) is Araneus diadematus - very beautiful and very common. Never seen a stripy one before, or even been aware of its existence. It's pleased me enormously - both encountering her, and the fact that the Internet was able to tell me what she was in under three minutes. YAY INTERNET!
In other news, I get to walk over to Grimmauld Place today. Last time I was there I discovered that a water leak had soaked into the bathroom floorboards and made them all collapsey... good daughter that I am, I told Mum, she told the housing association, and someone has to be there to let them in today to start fixing it.
...and the phone just rang. They're on their way and I'd better be too. Byeeeee!!!

I do love the cross spiders with their pretty patterns but there's one every five feet at this time of year. The wasp spider was a novelty.
