Yes. It's an Argiope. I also have a pretty good photo of one that hung around our deck in NC.

I found this guy in our garden. About 1.5 in. body and leg span of about 2.5 in. I looked it up in one reference book and had it as Yellow and Black garden spider (pretty creative). Also said it was an orb weaver. It has an elaborate web including a zig-zag pattern in the center. Can anyone confirm?
