Crystal Cove State Park Wilderness (22/30)

This orb weaving spider is standing so that it appears to have only four legs.  Its cephalothorax is also covered in fine white hairs.  Seen on a beautifully foggy morning in Crystal Cove State Park, there are a few drops of dew on the spider itself and its web is covered in drops.   My best guess is that this is in genus _Argiope_.  I have a shot of this with better depth of field (all of the web's water droplets are in focus), if you would prefer that (but the background becomes distracting).
