I wish I could figure out a way to make a better photo of this massive bald-faced hornet nest. It’s hanging from a Japanese maple in my back yard, about three feet off the ground. When I first noticed it earlier in the summer, it was the size of my fist. Now it’s bigger than a Chihuahuaua. The hornets that call this masterpiece home have been busy this week, and I didn’t dare interrupt them for a photo shoot. (Um, yes, I was scared to get any closer. These are NOT honey bees!)
If I can keep Mr. Burns from finding and removing the nest, I’ll take another pic in a couple months, when the hornets have died off.
Here’s hoping there’s some wild in your Wednesday …
