I love learning things like this and have books on identifying, bugs, plants, tracks, etc. The color on this guy is incredible. You obviously have a very calm countinence and are able to move slowly and calmly close to creatures like this. I am the same way and it often disturbs people I'm with. I have to tell them that unless they can remain calm to move away so that they don't distress whatever I'm photographing. Your love of Nature is astounding and so heartening to see. I think it's just wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-44682360748233333032008-06-18T18:55:00.000-05:002008-06-18T18:55:00.000-05:00Such a cool Hornet! it was Very Nice!Such a cool Hornet! it was <B>V</B>ery Nice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-5936995296887483012008-06-18T18:42:00.000-05:002008-06-18T18:42:00.000-05:00This hornet looks scary.
