I love them now, though. We saw a big gathering of them near the dump at Jekyll Island this year. I'll attach a pic, but I'm not sure how well the spiders will show up. There were so many in one place!
OMG - I magnified your photo - and my skin is still crawling! Yikes!

We too call them garden spiders or fall spiders - they seem to appear in late August through September. I don't get close enough to read the web!
