I was out cleaning my windows the other day, when I saw this spider right next to the window. It really scared me, but I thought it looked cool, so I took a picture.

This is a female wolf spider (family Lycosidae); possibly in the genus Hogna - see http://tinyurl.com/29usd2k for an example. These are active hunters that do not spin a capture web. Large specimens can deliver a painful (but not dangerous) bite of mishandled.
