We had very much wasps in our garden and that’s not funny, folks! So we tried to find their nest, and found out it was made in a wooden sleeper in our yard. / We did everything to destroy these ‘devils’, but nothing worked. / At least we demolished the wooden sleeper, and so their nest too…. Shame on us??? Maybe, but would you like waspstings? Used camara: Canon Powershot S3 IS
I took this photo just after it had rained. I loved the shapes of the drops on the leaf.
This is another graphic I made on the computer and decided it would be an awesome T-Shirt.

This day was cold and quite windy…I caught this little guy fighting to hang on to one of the last corn flowers in my garden. I was lucky that the wind seemed to die down just as I caught a few shots…this being the best and not at all motion blurry like the others:) / Airdrie, Alberta

In the summer, I fed the wasps fruit and sugar water. It was very entertaining watching them fight for the best position! Taken with a canon 100mm macro lens.
