I
wish I could think of something smart or witty or topical to write
about but we are closing in on finishing the mountain wall and that's
pretty much all on my mind. At least the open house is over now so
my days home will be freed up to read or relax or, more probably
knowing me, finish up the peach box. I have two posts planned on
some of the work we've been doing (the wall and the little castings)
but not until it's all finished lest you tire of 'in progress' pics.
Well, the little castings are done but I didn't get them photographed
yet besides the group shot at the show in my last post.
On
to my regular fallback...the yard.
Walking
around the yard yesterday I noticed that the yellow jackets were
swarming on the morning glory bush, harvesting the nectar I guess. I
took several pictures but only these two came out. There were also a
few of some other types of wasps and lots of lady bugs too.
Can
you see all the yellow jackets? There were at least 8 on this
cluster but I guess the other two flew away or are hidden.
This
guy was trying to decide if I was a threat or not. Glad he made the
right decision.
the 2nd shot made me smile! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's an alien! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I LIKE in progress posts!
Whoa!!! That's one mean looking fellow. Glad they had something sweet to eat.
ReplyDeleteHey Ellen, it's been much too long since I've visited. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a wonderful photo. Be careful out there! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the close-up! Do you have a macro lens?
ReplyDeleteNice. BTW, these are paper wasps, not yellow jackets. I learned that when I looked them up as I once took a very similar photo of one on a trumpet vine.
ReplyDeleteBrave girl.....I wouldn't have done that for sure. Enjoy your free time.
