Photo of the Day for 03/16/16: Yellow Jacket in Profile
I went out in the backyard today to take some pictures of some of our blossoming plants and noticed a number of yellow jackets flying around some old wooden chairs out there. L. has been complaining about the yellow jackets outside and I can see why..there were a number of them. I shot them for a while and could see that they were eating the wood on the chairs. They are more skittish then bees on flowers so it was harder to get in close (and the likelihood that I will get stung is much higher), but I managed some good shots. I have been asked how close I get to get this detail. Today my body was within a foot of the yellow jackets, my camera lens even closer.
