First is Orchard Orbweaver spider. Leucauge venusta.

Second is a long-jawed spider of some type, but hard to tell what since i cant see the top, or front.

The second one seems to always hang on to its web on the other side!
Thanks for the clues LadyAshley.

I was observing the shape of the tip of the abdomen - some are roundish and in the one I have posted has a 'sharper' finish.
