I see there are some interesting birds around the Mulberry Trees today.

Your welcome. Traveling for work during the week limits the free time on the weekend for getting new pics. I'm going to try to make an effort to get to Fort DeSoto on Sat for some sunrise/wildlife pics.

This is one of the Garden Spiders - Argiope spiders. Maybe Argiope aurantia? They make webs with that pattern.
