My Buddy Grayson?

So there is this gray spider that makes it home on my front porch. Nature has used this spider to teach me soooo many lessons. When I started a blog called Nature Teaches, I decided to give him a name and called him Grayson.

So he has come back this summer and it was great to see him. However the other night when I was looking at the spider in its web, I noticed it was a LOT bigger. And prettier too.

I was like is this Grayson? And his web. Gorgeous! I am looking forward to the new lessons I will learn from him.

Heres a picture of him. I asked my husband to do it. First time looking at it, I see he didn't use the flash. I'll take another picture tonight
