The first one to the top gets to sting the old hippie with the camera. Some sand wasps I found near the lake yesterday. There were 4 of them, But one wanted to buzz around my head while I got this shot. I hope the one buzzin' me wasn't the first one to the top. Ouch!!

A Brave hippie I might add......LOL.
Those guys are BAD news Ed.
The things a guy will do for a shot.

Good detail and clarity. Thats' about as good a look as I want to get of these painful flyers.

You are one brave dude, Dude. You risk it all for a good shot. This is more than good though. You came away with a fabulous shot of those nasty creatures. Very well done, Ed.

Oooo, fine shot of these nasties. You're lucky they didn't give you one in return. I'd have stayed away, but I'm a sissy.

They look like a combination of an ant, a dragonfly and a wasp. Very clear image of these unwelcome beasts, Ed.

Think it's not the first one to the top, who gets to sting the old hippie with the camera, but the one that's buzzing around your head Ed. In spite of these very difficult conditions (lol), you've succeeded in capturing a very good shot of those nasty insects, my friend!

Beautiful work Huck and your words make me think of this song, but you photo makes me think of this song. Anytime a photo stirs your mind and senses it is a great photo. Excellent post.

What a great find! They're all in perfect focus and the almost-lacy appearance of the bush stands in contrast to the solidness of the wasps..... And I say, Once a hippie, always a hippie! ;-)

I agree with what Mary said, great job. Good thing you didn't stumble upon their nest, that would have been a fun run.
