This is a Aranadae family
Possible Araneus quadratus
Padame gave the best answer. I don’t think A. quadratus is on this continent. Araneus trifolium, Shamrock Orbweavers are usually found in Northern US states and Canada. Look for a splotchy dorsal pattern that has black spots on the white markings, they look like cartoon eyes. The colors of the spiders vary. The legs’ marking bands are usually alternating light and dark color. This one isn’t a good example of that.
My mistake!!
