Thanks Mayra. I'm wondering if it's a type of orchard spider.

It's web was so fine I almost walked into it. I felt like we were eye-to-eyes for a second:)
After researching the black widows from today I'm wondering if this one could have been a juvenile or male B.W. I read the colors can vary except for the female.
