For me too, change or not, it is never the same. This looks similar to your spider, I thought it was a golden orb, but, the markings look a tad different. It is almost as big as the palm of my hand.
Words are always swimming in my head, I just need to catch a few every day and then release the rest. Thank you so much for stopping by! ❤️ Thank you for your words. Always. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Golden-orb it is, she is similar size here harmless to humans and pets, found in warm places around the world, always exciting to see one.
I talk to the visitors that come to visit my garden or along paths, sensible answers ensue 😀.... Happy Tuesday!
