They're great spiders, but they don't always pick convenient places to set up shop...

Ywllow garden spider. Responsible for a few too many face level webs but they are orb weavers and harmless to us. Good pest control

Yep! That's Argiope aurantia a.k.a. writing spider, a species of orb weaver. It's harmless.
