LOL, my internet connection is so slow, but all I needed to see was the tip of the abdomen to recognize this beauty! You've got a lovely Yellow Garden Orbweaving Spider, Argiope aurentia . Garden Spiders are very striking, and make some of the most interesting webs, often with elaborate sunbursts and zigzags called a "stabilimentum"; yours is making two vertical zigzags out of the centre point. Nice find!

Wow, that is a gorgeous spider. Glad you could identify it, bendy--I don't know beans about spiders... How big is it, L4H?

From tip to tip of legs 1.5 inches. I call it the "goldfinch of spiders"

L4H,he is beautiful,do what we did one year,a beautiful spider spun a web between 2 of my cedars,we called her Charlotte and put a little sign in front of it saying"Don't touch Charlottes web"
This was when my kids were young and all the neighborhood kids came to look at Charlotte
