I enjoy watching all the winged insects flying around my yard, even wasps with scary-sharp tails. This picture wasn’t good enough, though, so I moved in to get a closer look.
Huh. This is a very nice shadow picture, but where is the wasp?
Zooming out reveals the answer. There he is at the top. He was flying up toward the camera. Maybe he was as curious about me as I was about him. He did actually get on the lens. No worries, though. I blew him off the lens. Then he and I each went back to our respective lives, unharmed.
