We found this rather large and impressive guy in the bushes outside the house ~
Not sure what kind of spider it is but I'm staying the hell away from it! Kudos to Richard for the amazing picture though ~ mine came out all blurry.
*update: I did a bit of research and this is a female argiopes spider. It is not poisonous ~ although a bite could cause an allergic reaction. It is also not aggresive and is helpful in keeping insects under control so I think we'll let it stay.

eeeeek!
(but it's a great picture!)
ewww scary!
I grew up in Fl. and plan on getting back to your neck of the woods soon. Miss it so much. But I think it is referred to as a banana spider. All I know is that those suckers are huge! Very nice picture of it though.
It's a lovely photo! But the spider is definitely freaky and I'd stay away from it too! At least he's outdoors and not inside your house!!!
