Nice shots again Alby. I haven't seen any wasps yet this year, and only one hornet.

Hiya Alby,

Great series of shots, lovely sharp detail & colours #3 is my favorite, oh I do like Wasps.

Funny thing when I first started a year ago, I think it was Brain that said he loved Wasps I thought he was mad :lol: as at that time I thought Wasps were still a thing to swat if they came near but now I know what he meant, I've learnt so much in the last year but so little if that makes sense.

Now a Hornets Nest I would love to shoot, the bigger the sting the better :lol:

Cheers for now
Mark

I wouldnt say I like wasps but I admire their beauty whilst disliking their boldness! No3 is the best I think though a touch undesaturated?

Nice wasp shots Alby. Haven't get much chances of a wasp yet, they're too restles. Maybe I still catch some sucking some sap too :)
