Mr. Wasp

Filed Under: Photography


I am not a fan of wasp but I am a fan of this photo I got of one today. I almost didn’t stop to take it but had to take the chance. Thankfully he didn’t attack me and thankfully Dustyn wasn’t with me because he is deathly afraid of them. He got stung in the neck last Summer and still remembers it. When a wasp or bee is around he scrunches up his neck on the same side where he got stung. Poor kid.

linking up with: Give Me Your Best Shot, PhotoStory Friday, Fabulous Friday, Favorite Photo Friday,  Oh Snap!, Shoot.Edit.Submit.,Photo Friday, and Look Whooooo’s Snapping.

    Oh, wow! I would not think of getting a shot, I would probably be running away :) Nice capture!

    I love photographing bugs! I actually managed to catch a bee with my p&s today. This is a pretty wasp!

    Fantastic capture Sarah! And as close as I get to the bees with my 40mm macro I've never had one mad at me yet, thankfully!

    I think you caught Mr. Wasp's best side. Nicely done.

    Oh no, that looks so dangerous. :D Our wasps in Finland are so tiny - and I'm afraid of them too!

    Eek! I hate wasps, bees, horseflies, etc. Cool pic though! I'm going to be linking up with the quarterly carnival on Saturday. I have the post all set up and ready to go. :) Alita

    Definitely a great shot. I would be nervous taking this shot, too.

    March 30, 2012 at 2:26 pm

    Great shot Sarah! Love the detail you captured. My kids are all afraid of all wasps and bees even though only my oldest has been stung. They see one and all come running inside.

    March 30, 2012 at 1:37 pm

    Poor guy. (Dustyn not the wasp.) This shot made me think of the "Tracker Jackers" in the Hunger Games. (Great movie BTW.)

    YIKES!!! I would have stayed far away from that.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
