Hi Ali Hemati Pour, what a great picture. This spider is a gravid female, very close to laying her eggs (between 400 and 1,400 eggs). If she is nearby, you might want to look again within a day or two so that you can see her egge sac which will be within a few inches of her web. Wonderful spotting. I was very happy to see it. Thank you.
