Nice pics. I know what you mean about sleeping in and missing everything.

I think that might be a wolf spider, just a guess.

That's a fishing spider, though I can't narrow down the species unless I saw the abdomen a bit better. If it had some spots on the abdomen at all, its most likely a six-spotted fishing spider (Dolomedus triton). Fishers are very similar in appearance to huntsman spiders (Heteropoda venatoria). Considering where you saw it, I'm going with the fisher.

I caught a water snake a few weeks ago. A northern. Man, are they aggressive and THEY STINK! That smell lingered with me all day.
