Nice Patterned "Daddy Long Leg"
Modesto, Stanislaus County, California, USA

Size: 1 inch (with legs)
This spider was crawling up the door near my office. There is a dry field with some weeds growing in it next to the office space and I believe that may be where he came from.

Pholcid?
Might be a marbled cellar spider (Holocnemus pluchei), which are fairly common in some parts of California...

Cool...
Cool... I took this photo more for the artistic value than to really find out what it was, but someone on the photography website that I subscribe to suggested I post it on here to find out what it is.
