This pretty little spider is an Orb Weaver, Araneus sp. I can't see enough detail to tell you which for sure.

I forgot to mention, it's venom is no more dangerous to humans than a bee sting. Unless, of course, you happen to be allergic.

Thank you Kwanjin for the information you have shared. I was sure I answered this already, but must have done something wrong... so just wanted to thank you now so that you don't think I was ungrateful. I am very grateful for your expertise and time.

No problem. I appear to have the same kind of Orbweaver in my yard.
