I'd call this "God's Biggest Leaf", but am wary of stealing the title from some enormous six foot leafed flower in Australia. None the less, here it is! I've never seen one so big! (Evidently, I'm not the only one enamored with giants leaves. Yesterday I drove past a lady collecting these massive leaves while walking her dog.)
And another humongous pleasantry:
Halloween comes and goes, but this spider is planning on sticking around all year! So far as I know, this Somerset Homeowners Association hasn't yet requested Mr. Spider's hibernation. (I'll let you know how long he sticks around...)
I'm not sure if it was the rain or the lack of excess bugs in the North West, but it seemso ur friendly spider has migrated elsewhere...
Sharon, 59 degrees!!! Horrible weather, I don't know how you can stand it!
Sarah, Wow that is some huge leaf! Where is the tree??? What kind of tree is that from????

Hi Ginger!
I think it's a Maple leaf... I found it while strolling Simon, my German Shepherd, but Maple trees are native to the northwest, so they're everywhere, in everyone's yards, as well as spruce, sitka, etc. I have on in my backyard, but if you look for them, all of a sudden, they're everywhere!!
I've got some spiders that big on my deck.... lol.
Monstera leaves are huge.. but they are a vine.
Hi Georgina!
In that case, I think our spiders have something in common. Drawn to friendly people? ;)
I wouldn't mind gigantic spiders if it meant living in Hawaii. I suppose you're not jealous of our most recent snow/ice spell.... let's just say that the snow is still on the lawn, heheh.
