I don't usually like a big spider hanging out too near where I walk and might get a web to the face.

But, these are pretty neat. I wouldn't want to walk into their web though.
I believe this is what you've got.

It could be worse, I ran into this guy while mowing the lawn the other day.

I took a few photos and left it to do it's thing. It was timid (tried to hide when I tried to get a photo from the front.) and just wanted to be left alone which I was happy to do.
