Along came a spider

It's one of my spider photos in the Weekly Animals Gallery in the New York Post.  It's nice to see another one of my spider pictures get some display.  I've been working on a project documenting them this summer.  They've started creating their egg sacks which means fall is on the way.  They die after completing the sack. 

Egg sack tucked into a blackberry thicket.  Thousands of baby spider will emerge from the papery sack in the spring
