What kind of Spider? - Araneus cavaticus

What kind of Spider? - Araneus cavaticus
Phillips, Franklin County, Maine, USA
August 30, 2010
Size: Very large
These spiders are quite large and live in my barn.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. I'm pretty sure. If you can get more images of these... including ventrals shots, they would be nice to have in the guide.

 
more shots
I'll have to wait until next summer to get more shots of these spiders. It's winter here and they are all gone now. Next summer I'll get more precise shots, for sure. Thank you for your help.

Barn Spider (Araneus cavaticus)
is my guess.

 
Mine too
but I can't say for sure.

Any more views?
Ventral maybe?
