On my evening walk down Piney Woods Church Road today, I passed an Arrowhead Spider (Verrucosa arenata) in the center of her web, apparently doing yoga (or else a highly unsuccessful attempt at peek-a-boo).

I think your spider is a triangulate orb weaver, or arrowhead spider, Verrucosa arenata.
Thank you very much, Sara! This is exactly what folks at the BugGuide on Facebook also informed me. How marvelous to meet yet another orb-weaving spider on my travels!
