Yesterday, three bald-faced hornets were working along a wound in the side of an oak tree. Even though the light was bad, I figured I
might be able to get in close enough to get a decent picture. After taking several pictures that were close,
but not close enough, I leaned in just a little bit more...
This is what a running close-up looks like ;)
If you look at the bottom center of the photo, just to the left of the dark smear, you can almost make out the hornet. Sadly, none of the pictures came out well...but happily, I came out without getting stung!
