@mauna Kunzah: Yes, this was pretty pinky one, but it could be because of the sun light. And it looks like Neoscona arabesca you sent me. I am very bad with spiders, as I was afread of them since I was a child. I am glad that at least I can look at them now ;-) I will change ID to your suggested. Thank you so much again.

At first I thought it looked more like an Araneus species, but I'm beginning to reconsider. It might be Neoscona sp.; check this out http://bugguide.net/node/view/13265. Neoscona arabesca?
