I thought it was too Jae! I couldn't spot the actual spider, but I'll keep looking to see. This was a small web about the size of a quarter. Looks like it's got lunch in the web... but no spider to be spotted yet.

Cool web and spotting, momsavang. Just a wild guess but perhaps it's a black and yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia) https://spiderid.com/picture/62219/
