In the kitchen this morning:

a gorgeous spider:


the second picture was an attempt at salvaging a bad out of focus picture.
the first one didn't come out bad for being taken through a dirty window pane.
the spider is about 2 inches leg radius with a 1/2 inch wide 1 inch long body.
if anyone can help me identify it please by all means leave a comment.
EDIT: added capture and release pictures and corrected measurements


doesn't she blend so well with the bark?
amazing creature.
nearly positive ID:
