I proposed the idea of this being one of those
"unmarked" diadematus that Lynette sees pretty frequently, and received an email from her confirming that ID. So I figured it out by asking Lynette!!

Yes, Orb Weaver
Yes, this is a female orb weaver, but I couldn't specify a genus with any certainty... (I would guess it is most likely Araneus) :)

Nice image! She's beautiful!
