Meramec Greenway 081611

Today I took a little walk along the Meramec River Greenway near Old Town Fenton, with my Pentax *ist digital SLR on my neck.
It was a bit overcast and getting ready for rain.
I love those huge ancient sycamore trees along the path, and was surprised by the spider living in the hole... probably the largest live spider I have ever seen in Missouri. I held a finger nearby and could see that the spider's leg spread was a bit more than 4 inches in diameter.
