Bears are intrigued by Jake Brakes. A big black bear ran across the road and up a driveway yesterday. When I clicked the Jake on, he stopped, stood up, and looked over his shoulder at me from the driveway. Must not have ever heard that before.

Here's some pics of one of M's many handmade birdhouses that paper wasps have co-opted this summer. She decided to let them keep their nest...don't ask me why . Anyway, it is sorta beautiful, in a bizarre way.

I had some trouble with white tailed hornets last year. I tried to live and let live, but they declared war. As per usual, I won. The long video wouldn't load.

B, I'm a fan of hornets etc but that birdhouse takeover looks a bit scary somehow !

You can be sure I was using the zoom function to take those pics .
