Thank you, Sue. Spiderwebs really fascinate me too and I have tons of photos. These just really caught my eye this morning. Oo wonder if the wasps make a great dinner entree. 😉 This time of the year the german hornets are nasty!
I do really like the paper wasps though. Their nests are just incredible to watch grow and being repaired. Each striation in color is from another decaying tree being used to make the paper. I’m one of those oddball people who collect the “paper” to use in my artwork. Only after the bees have vacated naturally! 🐝

I need to dig into last year's photos and find the pictures I took during the first of the pandemic lockdowns. In April 2020 we were confined to our 100 acre community - couldn't even walk on the public road - but fortunately it is connected to a private bird sanctuary, where we walked every morning.
Interesting about the wasp nest "paper" - last fall we made dolls out of burrs, and pine cone bird feeders. Tomorrow we will be collecting acorns for a fall project, and to feed the local squirrels and chipmunks.

Nature is so endlessly fascinating.
Sue
