This beauty looks like
Araneus marmoreus, the marbled orbweaver, but I could be wrong. An orbweaver for sure, though! Compare here:



The orange coloration is beautiful! Very autumnal! Also, it appears to be a female.

Nice.
I frassed some of the duplicate posts and moved your portrait to the portrait page. I moved the rest of the images to this guide page. I also cropped in on your images (560x560) which is the largest size contributors can see images on bugguide. These are great images, nice work.
