Golden Orb Weaver Spider

I have not posted in photos for some time now. I was just processing through some K100D images from last year and I found some I thought I would post.

Back in late August, I came across a spectacular web in my backyard. As far as I know, this is a golden orb weaver spider. The pictures turned out pretty good. Both were shot with the Pentax K100D and SMC Pentax-A* 200mm f/4.0 Macro lens.
