Beautiful. Personally I like black and white pics of galaxies. The detail, and contrast, are outstanding! Reminds me of the old days when people like Kim Zussman were producing images we all admired. Regards.......Tom.

Hi Fred. Wonderful pics! Along with Stargazing, Beekeeping is my hobby. Not much blooming here in Ohio yet for the bees to work. I can really appreciate those shots. Regards......Tom Andrews.

Wasp Nest

Posted By Tom Andrews

Hi Jim. I believe that nest belongs to the Bald Faced, or "White Faced" Hornet. They never pay any attention to people at all. Basically they only want to work. However if you should accidently run into the nest, or perhaps hit it with a golf ball, they are exceptionally aggressive. They can sting multiple times, and the sting is brutally painful. The nests they build are quite beautiful, and engineering marvels. They will die over winter. Best Regards...Tom.
