Description:

A spheroid spider web spotted in the central wetland area at Huntley Meadows Park. This type of spider web is easier to spot when it is dew-covered, as shown in these photos. Can anyone identify the spider that spins this type of web? Thanks!

Habitat:

Huntley Meadows Park, a 1,425 acre wetland area in Fairfax County, Virginia USA. Related Resource: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/huntl...

A side shot would have clinched it, but I'm pretty sure that's what this is.
