I don't photograph many spiders but this Black-and-Yellow Argiope was in my garden yesterday afternoon. When I approached it ran rapidly from it's web and rested on this stake. I thought it looked quite handsome there.

Oh no! It had a large meal waiting on it's web. It is a quite harmless spider.

I, too, hate spiders, but this photo is great. I love the composition.
