Beautiful Jumping Spider

1 more picture is in a note on the image! :)

Whenever I am close to the sides of our house with my camera, I make sure to look carefully because there are often interesting creatures to photograph. This morning I was very happy to spot a spider and upon closer inspection I discovered that it was a large jumping spider! They tend to be about 1/4" around here, but this one was about 1/2" in diameter! Very unusual in coloring too, instead of being black or dark brown with a pattern, this one is light beige with a pattern. What a beauty. I got lots of pictures and thought the best thing to do would be to share one large image and a collage of three as well! I hope you like them!
