Thank you Tamar and Larry for the input.
I agree that this is a crab spider. Lovely shot!
Love the spider pix...keep them coming!
Thank you, ForestDragon, it gives me a starting point.
This is a species of Crab Spider. I think from Genus Mecaphesa. I don't know the species in your area but this should help.
