Araneus gemma
Large male cat-faced orb weaver gazing down on a large web up between the trees. Web had to have been at least almost 2 feet in diameter and the spider about the size of an american quarter dollar.
I ran through one of those webs yesterday and found the spider crawling across my face. That was not a pleasant experience but the spider was pretty and as you said nearly as big as a quarter.
