When I let Jack out this morning I saw this wasp satisfying its thirst on this dew drenched leaf. If you look closely, you can see it drinking. I know this won't make "front page" news but I thought it was very interesting to see and wanted to share. Thanks for stopping by :)

You are right Eileen, this is very interesting. It's amazing I can actually see it drinking the dew from the leaf. Better you than me to get so close to a wasp ... I would be heading in the other direction (I'm not to fond of bee's & wasp's). A fantastic shot Eileen ... nice & clear.

Too cool Eileen, one more step and he falls off the cliff :) It's an amazing shot and the clearness, crispness and detail are magnificant. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing it, hope he didn't fall off. Anita

Excellent shot and composition, Eileen. Even the leaf looks like a green tongue. Well done.

Wow! That is amazing! I have a dreadful fear of these guys because I am allergic to their stings, but you have provided me with a reason to allow them some respect.

PRECIOUS. The wonderment that I KNOW you felt watching this little creature actually drinking....is especially a treat for me. You can have no doubt that you definitely have somebody who TOTALLY understands what you were feeling. It is a special feeling, all these creatures. You are like me, that no life is insignificant. Love this....and of course....love YOU! :)

HAVE YOU THANKED YOUR CAEDES MODS LATELY? It is too easy to whine when things go wrong and too hard to thank people for the things they do for you on site: just think about it....GIVE A MOD A HUG or even a GROPE today.....just do it....:)
