And this is my haul this evening from our creeping raspberry plant. The others don't seem to like them, so they're all mine.

I am having difficulty driving this interface this evening. I should probably pull over and get some sleep.

With much help from @nev, I believe I've identified this as an argiope aurantia, or yellow garden spider.

At least I think it's cool. I came across this one while pulling weeds on my team's landscape day at work (the company has been running an experiment with doing our own landscaping at work). Anyway, I'm not from around these parts, so the species is unfamiliar to me. I didn't see it at first because its web was placed right in the middle of some weeds with yellow flowers I was pulling. I nearly grabbed it accidentally. Whatever it is, it seems to be a chonky, happy one.

Ezri: Or I own 6 identical versions of the same uniform.
Worf: No you don’t. There’s an old piece of carrot that’s been stuck to your back since Thursday.
Ezri: That’s... the style now.
