Any Spider Experts?

This guy/gal is hanging out in my garden. It's about 2 inches in length. I'm in central Florida and not familiar with the various spiders of this area. I just want to make sure it's not poisonous.

I did send the photo off to What's that Bug but I thought I might get an answer here quicker. :)

Hey, Virgo wanna compare spiders? ;) Here's mine from yesterday - I think she's an Argiope aurantia - Black & Yellow Garden spider. Lousy picture, I don't have your skills at photography :)

Oh how funny!! I have one too! My kids found it yesterday. Mine is a yellow garden spider. It makes a crazy zigzag in the web, and stays right in the middle...it looks just like yours...
