@Elko1 Welcome to SpiderID! Yes this is a Banded Garden Spider, Argiope trifasciata. Thank you for helping with an identification. This site is totally run by volunteers and everyone is welcome to learn with us.
This species does a cool thing when it feels threatened. You both might see yours shake her web very violently if you make her nervous. It is an effective display of looking dangerous for a spider that isn’t.
