Araneus gemmoides. It has now made its 3rd web after I ran into the first two. This time it is located higher under the eaves!

"Araneus gemmoides, commonly known as the Jewel Spider...and Cat-faced Spider... is a common outdoor orb-weaver spider found in the USA and Canada. They are considered harmless and have low-toxicity venom. A. gemmoides are useful natural predators for insects. A. gemmoides make their webs near lights, closed spaces, and on the sides of buildings." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus_gemmoides

I'll keep that 'venom' in mind when I walk under its web!
