Freddy the Spider

Just in case you didn't get to see this bad boy over at Facebook I'll post it here also. While traveling in Georgia last summer, I came across a tree filled with these buggers, each about 5 to 6 inches long. Perhaps ants don’t have all the fun.
Photographing spiders in their webs can be tricky sometimes, because the camera wants to focus through the web and on the objects behind it. However this fellow was so big, focus was not a problem.
