Things found while doing yard work on Sunday
Insect eggs
Baby lily bulbs
A paper wasp nest in the middle of my dead clematis vines. That's why I got stung a few months ago while trying to take it down! Was stung just proximal to my nailbed on my index finger. Did have gloves on, but they were cloth which didn't help.
Wow, your yard is a science lesson waiting to happen! I don't know if I would have recognized each thing. I should go searching in my back yard for interesting things... (and then have you come over to help me identify them? :-)
Those baby lilly buds are cute but the insect eggs were just a little creepy. And the wasp nest downright dangerous! It's amazing what we see when we really stop to look! Hugs, Clive
A really good pot is in the details. --Doug Casebeer at the Ceramics Workshop in Jamaica '10
There's only one way to grow while making art: take risks and allow yourself to make a lot of bad work, then look at it. I consider what is working well, what missed the mark or confused the reading, what needs to be adjusted on the next one. --Linda Arbuckle in The Penland Book of Ceramics
All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Almost all photos are my property (even the bad ones). Please ask if you would like to copy them. Don't think anyone would, but just in case please ask. Thanks!

Sounds like fun!

I hope you got revenge on that hive, even if there aren't any wasps there anymore.
