Taken as it was getting dark on a walk down my dirt road. Found this wasp nest and took a picture holding it in my hand.
I love this image... My dirty hand picking up and holding this crushed and dusty nest. I saw a connection... dust, fragility and the twilight of usefulness.
Photo taken with a Nikon D5100, an 18-300 zoom, manual and hand held. Settings:1/50, f3.5, ISO 250.
Some wasps nest underground and a target for skunks, racoons, etc. When you get back to that place, look around for a hole in the ground and lots more nest remnants. Its the wasp larvae that the animals are after.
