Huge spider (about toonie size) in my backyard. She seems to have disappeared after some rain.

Grasshopper, I think.

Spider on my porch. Seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Not sure if this is the same spider or if competition for this lucrative spot has intensified.

Two images of the 2024 April 8th Eclipse captured a few moments ago via shitty sony a6000. Quite the experience - it was as dark as night. I wished I had a better camera set up, but this will have to do. Also got some shots via a paper pinhole “camera.”
