This is a long-jawed orb weaver (Family Tetragnathidae); they are harmless to humans - see http://tinyurl.com/pqrcj9 for a close-up of the jaws of one. They often make their webs over small streams or other water sources.

thanks suunto, the jaws on these little fellows are pretty big and scary looking but the fellow wasn't aggressive at all even while I was teasing him into position for the photo shoot :)
