53. Ahhh! Nice! Reminds me of the one garden spider that we had in the front yard, after stepping out the front door.

We had a beautiful garden spider who built his nest/web right there in the small enclosed garden area by the front door, and I always called him Igor. It's amazing what happens to lurk by, and make their homes along side of yours, isn't it? Nature and all of its glory. Can't beat it.
