Fantastic shot, Shirley! He doesn't look friendly, though! <>< #11713778Shirley D. Freeman July 09, 2018
Thank you, Tammy, Nancy and Chuck. I appreciate everyone viewing and commenting. I felt fairly comfortable with the camera and lens between him and me that I wouldn't be stung. He seemed pretty intent on what he was doing anyway. <>< #11713823Terry Cervi July 09, 2018

Ain't nature grand? I love how the wasp/hornet is safe in it's enviorment but did that Canon keep you safe from it? :-) Wonderful macro work and summer colors! #11714204Shirley D. Freeman July 13, 2018
