orb weaver?

Taken out at the Baylands Trails in Sunnyvale.

 

This is a spider, I promise. Steve spotted it and had to point it out to me pretty closely before I could see it. It's all balled up like a fist, which camouflages it pretty well against this spiky plant.

 

It was sitting next to an orb web; but I don't know for sure that it was his.
