Finally having succumbed to the cold and now deceased, this Yellow Jacket still gives one last look of defiance. "If I were still alive ", it seems to impart.

I really like this photo Ken. Differential focus works particularly well with this composition. Coupled with the classic "warning" colours it gives a sense of directed aggression and intent. In fact it's hard to believe that the subject is no longer "alive and stinging".

Thanks Bruce . I have been stung by these wasps so many times it ain't funny Actually the sting isn't all that bad..well it does hurt but it is afterwards that really gets me. It "itches!!" like crazy.

The fun part is drinking one with your soda I wish we could really see through the eyes of different animals.

Sometimes I think it is embarassing enough to see mankind through our own but anyway I see what you are saying, it would be interesting to see things the way they do but maybe not all the time.

Hi Ken,

that reminds me of a good phrase I read some time ago:

" Man is the only animal that blushes-or has reason to!"


Fine image, anyway!!

That is quite a profound saying there Bernhard and most befitting too. Thanks
