Good Charlotte

This not so little spider has spun a huge web at the base of our front stairs. While I do not like spiders inside my house, I respect their vital role in our ecosystem and I more than welcome them outside of my house. Maybe she'll catch some of those nasty mosquitoes that seem to survive year round here (given that we are having 80 degree weather in the middle of November, it's no wonder).
It's too bad I could not capture the intricate beauty of her web...spun between the juniper and the house.
Charlotte's web is perfectly camouflaged as we pass under it several times a day...I just hope she doesn't decide to plop on my head or, worse, Erik's head gets tangled in the web now that he is almost 6 feet tall!
