Ehehee I just remembered I saw a huge round orb weaver on my way home, there was a strong white wiry line attached to the main web and I twanged it just for funsies and she came out to have a look and she was so beautiful and round.

I took a few pictures and accidentally touched her while trying to show my hand for scale and was able to feel her chonky abdomen for a moment which spiders never let me do (but I always secretly want to). She was slightly spooked but only enough to slowly amble away rather than plummet out of sight.

Makes me smile remembering it
