St Andrew Cross

For the last 5 days, it has been horrible weather. Cold. Raining. Windy and more rain. The today there was some sun, only monetarily but sun. There glowing on the back railing was this guy.

I was thinking what a trouper this spider is. Sitting there looking lovely and rewarded with the beautiful sun. 

This sider has been in this spot for the whole year and was so tiny to start with smallest StAndrews cross Id seen. There is a lesson to all of us in this little guys resilient nature.
