Yep, its some sort of orb weaver, probably female. I'm not sure on the species because spiders aren't my strong point.

Orbweaver male, since the male spiders all hve the clubbed pedipalps.

Proverbs 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.

Did you post this on arachnoboards too? Looks familiar.
