Misc shots this AM - But Spider shots included

Once again I got some cool shots of Latha our adopted garden spider.  Anyway for my spider phobic friends they are towards the bottom of this post.

The Coleus is growing like a weed. 

Ricki taking a drink.  

After this shot comes the spider.  

Latha the spider got a cicada this AM.  I never would have thought her web was strong enough to catch a cicada.  I would have thought it would have flown right through.  This was no small one either.  I am guessing counting both wings, it had a wing span off about 2.5 - 3 inches.  Body length about 1.5 inches.
