Boring Spider

    There is this spider in our front yard bigger and neater that the ones that I've seen out there before, and I got some pictures of it just sitting around and being a spider, but I wanted to get some pictures of it in action.  Nicholas poked it with a stick for me several times (and remarked recently that he is not going to do it again) and when it did move, the pics I did get of it were not what I was hoping for, being a perfectionist and all.  So I was throwing a number of things on the web, trying to get it to move, but it just stayed there. This is some of the stuff we put on its web.  Not a movement.

   

     By the way, here is another picture of it: I forgot that last night it attacked a plant I threw on its web.
