Surprise in my Garden

Today is one of those perfect "Summer is Winding Down" days in Virginia.  It is cool and rainy today.  My husband was on the covered front porch enjoying a cup of coffee and his newspaper when I went outside to visit.

As I sat in my chair and chatted I noticed someone had come to visit my garden.  Now I'm NOT a fan of spiders - but this one was too pretty to not take a picture of.  I also loved the way the web is sprinkled with water droplets.

I'm not sure but I believe he is a type of garden spider.
