Some kind of Micrathena. I would guess... Looks juvenile if so.
Going by OPs location if could be M sagittata.
Which poses an interesting question: at what stage of development does Micrathena develop the unique abdominal characteristics.

Ill try to catch it and get aome better pictures
Much better yet, assure it is in a safe location, you help protect it, and observe the web it makes. If it is even remotely orb shaped Micrathena is almost assured.
Preserve and protect life in it's natural environment whenever possible. Try to avoid turning them into display or entertainment objects.
