Large Spider

I couldn't be bothered to hint down an ID for this even though I think I've already got a shot of one somewhere in my archive.
I surprised it (and it surprised me) when I knocked the cats water fountain (yes, the cat has an electronic water recycler - this encourages cats to drink, so I had to steel myself to buy a stupid gadget for the non-drinking cat. It does work, though).

Anyway - the poor thing suddenly found itself disturbed and with a wet floor underneath.. which is probably why it stayed long enough for me to grab a shot (water, water everywhere and not a direction to go).

He's a beaut Louise, nice closeup.:)
