Many seem to pop out near decayed parts of the plant.

I never would have thought this wasp would have been unfazed by my presence. It let me shoot away as it was focused on it’s hive.DSC_7320

At times it seemed very focused on me and my camera.

It was more preoccupied with making a safe place for the eggs.

A bee picture

I waited a minute or two for this photo which lasted 1/400th of a second.  I have learned not to chase and follow bees from flower to flower.  Instead I stuck by one flower and waited for a bee to stop by.   Bee photography 101 I bet.
