Monster Spider!

I'm not spooked by the normal creepy things.  Scary movies, dark rooms, snakes, bugs, spiders.  They just don't creep me out.  Unless they are in my bed or on me without my authorization!  This morning, as I had my hands full of my gym bag, coffee mug and keys, I saw a large spider web.  I happened to be about 10 minutes early so I turned to investigate the situation, being that it was perched so close to my kitchen window.  As I was accessing the situation, a spider, the size of a silver dollar appeared a few feet above my head.  Oddly enough he paid no attention to me.  It was actually quite amazing to watch, he was spinning his web with his hind legs and moved so quickly I took a step or two back.  I snapped a few pictures (not very clear, see below) and began to walk to my car.  Then I though "hmmmm, big spider by the kitchen window....Not a good combination".  I said spiders don't creep me out, but picking them up don't really entice me either, soooo I ran back inside and grabbed my promotional fly swatter, which was on top of about a million other promotional products, and had to displace this large creature to another part of the yard.  I think my girlfriend is going to be happy with my decision!!
