totally electric...the nest seems like a natural gargoyle, full of life, and menace..

Great shot, but not something I’d ever want to encounter. V.

Once my mother handed me a past-tense hornets' nest that had reds from our barn and whites from our house and all manner of silvers and browns from our eucalyptus trees, and said "Do something with it." I made two small framed layouts with it, giving one to a person whose nickname was Hornet. Very satisfying to work with.
