SpidersNursery Web Spider?

I snapped this photo of what I believe is a nursery web spider out on my deck in July. Until I happened upon your site, I was terrified and repulsed by spiders. Since I have been reading more about them, I have a better understanding of our eight legged friends. Of course, you won’t see me cuddling up to one anytime soon. But they make fascinating photo subjects.

You are correct. This is Pisaurina mira, a Nursery Web Spider.
