Sorry if the title of this week’s Photo Blog Wednesday is misleading, friends, but there are no canines in this post. It simply refers to the end of Summer, and my last batch of photos for the month of August includes a crazy big spider outside my living room window, a baby bunny that was nibbling grass near my office, and Beast, the semi-feral stray cat that my mom feeds.
And I’ll throw in a couple of desktop-sized images from this batch, at no extra cost to you! Simply click the images below for the larger sizes.
I believe I've identified it as an Orb Weaver. Late Summer, spiral web, markings and size consistent, and there are plenty of bees and wasps and other flying things near where it set up its web. Big and scary looking; non threatening to humans.

MCF is a mild-mannered
artist from the suburbs.
His knowledge of obscure
comic book characters
is more powerful than Gladiator
of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard on
an ego-trip. Able to leap topics
in a single sentence faster than
a speeder-bike on the moon of
Endor, MCF has never written
about himself in the third person
and now dreads the day he
utters aloud the fateful phrase,
"MCF is gettin' upset!"

Cool animal pics!! Love the last shot of that spider web :) Especially with the light in the back ground.
