i spotted my first banana spider of the season today and boy it's a big one. it's web starts about ten feet up in a tree out by the road and goes all the way to the ground. i got my husband out there to try to get a good picture of it because i just can't get close enough to those things to focus my camera right. he really couldn't either so here is a good shot i managed to get last year of one a little smaller. they are beautiful and horrible at the same time, i definitely have a serious fear of spiders.

Thank you for the kind words, and I can use it to keep me going.
Do be careful when snakes lurk around.
Oh yikes, I would be frightened if I saw this guy in my garden. The only snakes we see here are green garter snakes and they are always so frightened of us - they slither off as quickly as they can.
Those spiderwebs must be incredible.
If I don't miss my guess---you had a close encounter with a hognose snake. Here in Alabama, it's sometimes called a spreading adder.
