Clouds are fun.

I am not sure why I like clouds so much bit I really do and maybe it is because they change even when they seem like they aren't. Maybe it is because they have the silver lining. I really do not know but I do know I love to photograph them. Then again maybe it is because it reminds me of lazy summer days looking up at them and seeing how many things you could imagine from the shapes of the clouds. I still regret the day though when I saw a perfect pirates ship in the clouds but had left my camera in the trunk of the car and couldn't pull over fast enough to get the camera before the shape had changed into something that was nothing like a ship.

What kind of spider is this?

Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? It spun a web between two of my tomato plants and it wasn't really in the road so I have left it and just watched it most of the summer. I have seen it catch and eat one huge grasshopper and the rest of the time it has sat in the middle of the web 99 % of the time. I have seen it moving once but it generally just stays in the same place. That at least made it easy to get some very close shots of it. Anyway I would love to know what it is.
