Isn't the weather in the UK lovely? I'm sure I mentioned it didn't look like we were going to get an indian summer but it seems I was wrong. The weather is glorious and we are making the very most of it and spending lots of time outdooors.
We are also eagerly awaiting the laying of this lady's babies. She's an amber coloured garden spider who has taken up home in the ferns. She's big, beautiful and judging by the size of her abdomen she's nearly ready to pop!
I hope you have a happy, sunny day where you are!
Oh dear, is it just me who feel very sympathetic towards that little spider, struggling through the last stages of pregnancy in a minor heatwave?
ReplyDeleteLove the first picture, second one not so much! I am loving this Indian Summer, so nice to get a burst of sun before the cold weather starts in earnest ;)
ReplyDeleteArrrggghhh spider, as I jump on a stool, :). It's so nice someone is having nice weather we are in spring and yesterday it rained the most for a spring day in a hundred years. xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos!! Glad to see that you're getting some sun over your side of the world
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! If you look carefully at the second picture you can see that her tummy is full of little eggs! I've never been excited about a spider giving birth before.. thanks for that new experience! :)x
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to start having and Indian Summer today. It has been very cold here in Iowa. Instead it is raining and still cold. I love the photos.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Indian summer. :) Lol...I was totally going to post about the weather today...AND about a very similar spider I photographed on Tuesday. Weird!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, enjoy the weather.
(Oh...I just looked at my spider photo and it's not that good. No spider post for me)
ReplyDeleteWe are having an Indian Summer here in the Bay Area in California. Always cold during the summer and flashes of heat during the Fall.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pic of that flower. Not a fan of spiders but I bet she doesn't complain as much as we do.
Those colours look so bright and beautiful! And the amber spider does look ready to burst, all those baby spiders she will have!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a really beautiful spider! I think we're going to have babies spiders soon too, judging by the ones living in our back garden.
