While being chased away from what I think was a nest by a pair of very aggressive Red-Winged Blackbirds, I nearly walked into this. I managed to get a couple of quick shots off before they started to come after me too. It seems I was not wanted in this area (except by the fire ants whose mound I happened to step in). One of those days!

I would run as well after seeing these. Good shot and it looks as though it's done with a steady hand too. Mine would have been trembling.

V...LMAO. Sound like you went from one disaster to another. You, however, got a great shot of some dangerous creatures...Hope you got all the fire ants out of your shoes. I know someone that took their shoes off and set them on an underground bee hive. Once the bees got the scent there was no escape......

Thanks for sharing a good story and an excellent photo

Trust me when I say that it would have been quite blurry without the IS enabled.
