I went out planning to shot rocks and mountains and cactus but came back with this gal. She was out basking in the warm morning sun. I have made minor attempts to identify this spider. But I only know that it is an orb weaving spider. If anyone knows or can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

Technical Notes:
Nikon D80, ISO 100, f5.6, 1/160, 135mm lens
