Wordless Wednesday: Hornet’s Nest

Almost Wordless: Continuing my nature series, I saw this hornet’s nest yesterday at Cantigny Gardens. It appeared to be vacant but I wasn’t going to poke it to find out. (Click for sharper image.)

      I’m glad no one was home. I was photographing birds and didn’t notice it at first but when I did I moved away quickly, just in case.

    Great picture! I still wouldn’t want to be the one to stumble upon it, though!
