French Hornet

July 25th, 2009

I like taking photographs.

Frankly I don’t do as much photography as I would like, and most of my shots seems to be taken on holidays.

I don’t shoot people much, at least not with a camera, preferring to stick with scenery and nature.  I thought I would occasionally stick up one of my favourites.

This one is a French hornet.  He had been buggering around in the apple while I photographed him.  None of the shots was up to much.

But then he came to see what I was at. 

He was a big bastard.  Those hornets are two to three times the size of an Irish wasp.  He had a mean look in his eye too.  And when you have hundreds of eyes, that is a lot of meanness

I quite like it.

    Geri – It was big indeed.  Are you implying that New York is hollow and rotten to the core? ;)

    Our hornets kick French hornets’ butts.

    I recommend you check out the pix at http://myretirementchronicles.blogspot.com/ she lives in a bog in Michigan (the state that is shaped like a mitten, except for the other peninsula which is shaped like a penis.)

    How did you manage to get it to pose like that?

    TT- Well, our hornets kick American hortnets in the face. So there!

    Sixty – Very nice.  I hope she lives in the mitten and not the penis?

    Kirk M – I asked it nicely, of course?  Silly question.
