Here's some photos of those common Garden spiders from the Orb Weaving family. My apologies if there are some Araneus on pages where they don't belong but they are very hard to classify. Try this page for a species guide:

Reply: This one looks like Araneus nordmanni 3 September, 2007: Hi Glen, Here are some pictures for your site. The rounder spider is living right next to a Golden Orb Weaver spider on the side of our house. I'm guessing the round one is a Orb Weaver/Garden Spider. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Meegan Click for a larger view.
