We call these spiders "Garden spiders" on the South-East Coast of U.S. High resolution photo images of the Golden Orb. http://golden-orb-spider.blogspot.com/
These spiders are very beautiful. But one day at my lakehouse, i had an... encounter with one. I was sitting on my back deck, watching the stars ( it is a very clear night sky out there) when i felt a tingling on my shoulder. I turned on the deck light, turned around and had one of these things one my shoulder. I literly pissed my self a little bit, i threw off my shirt and stomped on it till u wouldnt be able to tell it was ever alive. Fun to look at, not fun to have crawl on you.
Beautiful but freaky
