Wish it didn't have the spider web across it's back. Thought it'd do better than it did.

I first spotted this little guy about 5 minutes before I got this picture. I was taking out the garbage and saw it out of the corner of my eye as it ran and hid. I told him I wanted to take his picture and ran in to grab the camera. I couldn't find it when I got back out but a few minutes later I saw it on a different corner of the porch. It stayed and let me take a few pics before it ran off. Haven't seen it since. The full-size image shows more detail and shows that the whitespot in it's eye is a reflection of the camera. Guess I should have cropped instead of resize... Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks for reading and thanks to those who left comments. :)

Maybe it's because I'm a novoice... But how does this fit the topic?
