Mud Wasp

First warm day here in Tracy and these guys are already looking around for a place to build a nest. I always thought they were mud wasps or daubers but this close up shot that I got today sure looks like your standard Yellow Jacket. They are not real aggressive, and seem to be just interested in finding water and mud to build a nest. I flicked one off the fence and he just flew away. They buzz around water in the gutter and we just step over them and they don’t get mean like other bees and Yellow Jackets that I have encountered. In the past I have destroyed a few fairly large nests that I have discovered in my yard over the years. They like to create nests up under these clay tiles on my roof where this picture was taken. The war is on!

A few new Hot Wheels that I picked up this weekend. Two here are the Real Wheels All-Metal series. Nice quality,  a little more money. I photographed these using the 50mm lens on my D50.

Here is Marina decorating her Valentines Day box for school. They had a class party (she is in the second grade) and exchanged valentines and ate mass quantities of sugary things. Marina is my special girl and I love with all of my heart!
