Got Some Wild, Wild Life

Take a picture, here in the daylight
Oh, ho!
And its a wild, wild life ...


All right, enough of that. Me a lover of aminals. So here's more pix taken about the homestead.

A clean and pregnant dog.




A birdie on the drive.



A flutterby sucking weeds.




A bee being busy with the apple blossoms.




A yellowjacket making nests.




A critter too dry for even my dog to roll in anymore.

These are great! I really like the butterfly one, not because it's a butterfly, but just the way colors are, the pink of the flower, the blue and yellow on the insect. And then the blue in the background and the vibrant greens all over. Can I use it for a painting? Not that I will for sure, but just in case?

Of course. If you ever want an image, just take it. If you want the original (larger, not cropped), just ask.

That's not a yellow jacket. It's a non-native European paper wasp.

So it is. Thank you. It is good to know the difference.

Sure! What's odd is that you must be out West, as times are posted in PDT. That would make this wasp a fairly uncommon sighting. You see them much more often out here in the East, as they were first spotted in Boston.
