Nice photo!
Thanks, I'll have a look!
This is one of the nursery web spiders, probably a fishing spider (dolomedes). You may be able to narrow your ID by starting on this page (http://bugguide.net/node/view/1963/bgima...) and progressing through the collection. Nice photo by the way! Fishing spiders are big!
