I accidentally sprayed this guy down with the hose while watering the lawn.
I watched him drop to the grass and start drying himself off. I marked the spot and ran in and got the camera and macro lens.
Managed to experiment quite a bit while he cleaned himself off. I even got him to crawl up a stick and tried a few different BG colors. I thought I may be able to get closer and ran in to grab my tubes. I got all set up and managed to snap 1 extremly close shot before he flew off.

Nice closeups, but not a Yellow Jacket.

I would have just finished drowning him. Nice pics though.

Photographers do it in 1/1,000th of a second...but the memory lasts forever! ;)
