crab spider...
Nice pictures. Number 2 is a crab spider - in my opinion. You can compare with one that I found this past summer.
This is the spider's pose when it is waiting for unsuspecting prey. They are found in different colors.

Lovely captures
#1 A Spiny Orb Weaver Spider
#2 crab spider
#3 is another orbweb spider I think- probably Araneus species.

They (all species?) can change colours but it can take days.
