Ineresting - any more images?
This looks like Neoscona crucifera, but it has so much black pigment we're wondering if it might be something else.

Neosonca
does look right. I wonder if it could be domiciliorum? It has such red legs and dark markings.

thanks, Lynette...
it was colored quite differently (and a little larger, i think) from the normally gray ones all over the place hereabouts. its web was much larger, and in a more open space than where what i presume the N. crucifera webs are usually found.
