Edit: I was taking a walk on one of my lunch breaks in Novemember and saw this big guy. I wasn't able to find out the type of spider. My best guest is that it's an orange one.

Such a beautiful pic! Spider up front, and sweet colourful trees in the back. Good one!

Obviously can't see too clearly but it might be a steatdoa nobilis (Nobel false widow) the grey band around the back and the translucent stripey orange-brown legs look very familiar!

Unlukely, given that false widows build 3-dimensional webs with a more irregular look. This looks like a type of orb weaver.
