Mother Wolf Spider & babies

I was out in my garden this weekend taking a couple of bushes down. I apparently startled what I later found out was a Wolf Spider that went scurrying out of the brush. Her body was about the size of a half dollar and further investigation revealed tiny baby spiders attached to her back. I went into the house and got my camera and took a couple of shots and here's the end result. Amazing, I have never have seen this type of spider before now. Enjoy
