GARDEN SPIDER (Araneus diadematus)

We had a more mundane day today. I had all the cushions off the sofas and chairs and vacuumed and plumped!
We popped into town to the bank and then had a delicious pub lunch.
I saw this spider on the side of the shed, whilst sat in the garden reading and decided it would be my blip.
We went for a walk late in the afternoon and I took several pictures which were all worthy to be a blip - but I stuck with the spider!
