Black and Yellow Garden Spider

Zoom in to see this black and yellow garden spider I found in the yard today. You can also see the web being created.

From a little research it appears this is a female one. The body of the female Argiope can grow to be a little larger than one inch (25 mm). Including the legs, they can grow to over three inches.

This one is definitely more than an inch long.
