That's a lovely Orb Weaver aka Garden Spider. They eat lots of nasty insects.

Hi there,
Thanks for the info. I live in Northern California.
He's been living here several weeks and I don't see anything in his rather large web. Course I know nothing about spiders so that may be perfectly normal. I don't mind spiders but they are abundant here and nearly eveyday out my front door I end up with a face full of web! Busy little guys
