bleh!

I went outside to kind of just hang out.  As I was walking back to the front door I see a spider just floating.  I start freaking out.  I know the web is connected to the tree, but I don't know what else.  And I'm standing there for five minutes debating whether to walk past it again or wait for someone to come home and open the garage.  What if I break the web??? And the spider swings and hits me?!  So I'm just studying the web as closely as I can and finally decide to just run past it.  

From the corner of my house, zoomed out.

This is the best shot I could get of the web.

I was shaking.  It was shaking.  I don't think either of us were comfortable.  

Edit: Thanks to http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html#orbweaving, I identified this is an orb-weaving spider.  It wasn't the first site I went to.  It should've been.  I've been looking at images of spiders and trying to describe it.  And I've been shaking my leg up and down more than I ever have before, including pre-exams.  I've never been this nervous.  And the fact that I just took a shower and my hair is drying every which way around my face isn't helping.
