Summer Spider

I took this photo through the side window panel that frames the front door. This spider spun her web here, and Gabe adopted her as a sort of pet. He trapped small live flies and ants in his bug vac and then released them into her web for days, watching her encase them in silk and appreciatively suck their nourishment. She is a sign that the summer days are closing quickly and we are moving into the fall flurry of webs and spiders everywhere.
