Just wondering what type of spider this is and if it is poisonous or not. Thank you!

Dear Barry,
Autumn is the time of year that annual Orbweaver spiders that live but a single season generally come to maturity, and the eggs they lay will survive the winter. This is a Shamrock Orbweaver, Araneus trifolium, a species with highly variable coloration.
Beautiful ?
