I believe it's a yellow garden spider.
Thanks Dan ... spousal unit feels better but we will keep our Chi-Warriors away from it ...

Nice shot
Yellow garden spider---Yes----can bite, but not dangerous to humans
We have them too---they like to spin in the tomato plants.
I do not like any spiders, but these are photogenic!!!!

Right!! I'm going to the garden to find one now!!
Yup ... Garden spider. Had a bunch of them living in a blackberry patch on the farm where I grew up. When it came time to pick my father would lower me down in the bucket of a bucket loader tractor so I wouldn't have to deal with them. They give me the Willies! I would rather run butt naked through a patch of nettles than tangle with some garden spiders.

Are you considering the use of a true macro lens? If so, there are several Canon macro-photographers on the
True Macro-Photography Forum at
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-102-1.html that can provide guidance in evaluating macro lenses.

Hurray! Someone else is being invaded with spiders & catching them with their camera. I posted one yesterday that caught my attention......same Yellow garden spider. If you take a look you will find a Wikipedia attachment that someone placed on my page that really explains everything very well. Welcome to The Spider Club!! I saw another one out there also!! :lol: Bob

Strangely its common name is "Black and Yellow Garden Spider"
or more officially (looked this up, I knew common but not this one)
