ugly spider that is sitting outside my window RIGHT NOW

He’s about 3″ in diameter, counting his legs. I opened the window yesterday morning and there he was. I almost screamed like a girl but somehow managed to control myself. Later, some friends came over and convinced me to go outside. I wasn’t daring enough to get as close to it as he did, but, I took a few shots none the less. I have a few others that are “closer”, but, I liked this one best.

Jess and I got here just in time. The sun was setting and I knew we had about 15 minutes left before it would be gone. However, from where we were standing there were too many trees in the way. So, down the trail we went, hoping that it led to water and not of farther and farther into the trees. Thankfully, it landed us right on a nice rocky beach where we watched the sun fall the rest of the way down the sky.
