We saw this spider when we stopped to pick Black-Eyed Susans on our nature walk yesterday. It was probably 2 - 3 inches long. I'm glad we didn't walk into it!
I think that is a female Argiope, commonly called a corn spider or black and yellow garden spider.. The article I read indicated it is probably the largest spider most people will ever see. Up to about a 1" body and 3" leg span.
