Part of my son, Tony’s duties for a property management company is constantly replacing the never ending items that suffer ‘normal’ wear and tear and worse. During those moments he comes across some interesting encounters. Here he found an inquisitive, and thank goodness relaxed, group of homesteading Yellow Jackets. I have never had safe encounters with groups of Yellow Jackets. My son seems, this time, to have had a mellow, steady encounter. I think I would have had too much motion/blur in my shots. I didn’t mean to defame the ‘bee’ name here…just borrowed the name to seem witty and light. Bee’s don’t deserve that defamation I know.

Last night a cold front and heavy rain rolled through. The Yellow Jackets were all hunkered in this morning.
