Spiderrrrrzzzzses (Entamelogical name)

The Whole reason I bought this camera is because it takes excellent macros (close-ups).

This is the sharpest picture I could get, considering that the darn thing just wouldn't sit still.

I wanted to be careful that it wouldn't fang me so I held it on a stick while I tried to stay as still as possible while holding the camera with my other hand. Not an easy thing to do, so this one came out blurry, but you can still appreciates it's silvery shine which was my main point of interest with this spider.

It reminds me of a Garden Spider in physique

Have you ever seen a spider like this before? I haven't, but once in my life.
While at the West Nude Gathering in Malibu California, and friend had asked that I accompany him on a hike off camp. I brought my camera not know what to expect. I came upon this curious spider with a fur so shiny it was actually silver! It had a leg span of about 2.5", not a huge spider. I was lucky enough take the pictures that I did of it. It just would not sit still much. I'm hoping to identify this spider sometime. I think I might be the first one to catalogue it, who knows? It resembles a Garden Spider. If happen to know anything about it, give a holler. Email
