Garden Spider?

I think this is a female garden spider?

I wasn't sure if I'd have time to venture out to take photos today, so I did a quick garden safari to see what's out there today. Mostly honey bees and hover flies, and there was a distinct lack of bumble bees?

As I was trying a few shots of the bees and flies, this beauty popped up in my viewfinder! She was partially camoflagued by our reddish brown fence. I moved around to get a better shot and I liked this one with the green grass behind, framing her between the gap in the fencing.

I did have a few words with her as I thought the web needed a bit of attention!
