Recovering from a horse kick has been more difficult then anticipated and acutely painful beyond reason. To entertain me during my convalescence, Mother has been sending me unbelievably mouth dropping, “Oh my God!” Moments. Oh, and when I did find a yellow jacket nest (not wasp!) where I got stung, again my mouth hung open in absolute disbelief for before my eyes was the biggest nest I have ever seen [think melon or basket ball]. My hands were just inches from this nest when I was pruning the bush it is in, unknowingly of course of what I came so near to.
Friends, after reading about these yellow jackets I am lucky I am alive for they normally, if believing their nest is in danger of attack, will send out an army of yellow jackets to swarm and sting, injecting venom into their victim. I only got stung by two yellow jackets. Two. Think about it. Mother’s Protection is so strong that She would not allow “normal” behavior to ensue.
Humbled, in awe, and sooooooo grateful, this is how I’ve been feeling of late. With my long lens and from a safe distance away, I got a shot of this huge nest. Not only that, the Lavender that is growing in front of the bush where this nest is, actually is leaning away from it so that the honey bees who come to my Lavender every year, are not harmed by the yellow jackets. Just how intelligent is Mother Nature? I’ve been asking questions! Pictures say a thousand words.
One day clouds were spectacular as they reflected the sunset with fire in the sky. The paintings that I saw in our skies courtesy of Mother had me in ecstasy. And that is no lie. Judge for yourself.
Another day a huge storm front came in and when I was surrounded by only three directions of clouds, I became the storm chaser on my front lawn. What a thrill!! But when I saw the clouds broiling towards me from all four directions and with what looked to be a funnel, I scurried inside my home just in time, for the sky literally opened up and poured accompanied with howling winds.
Then there was a day that the sky was so blue with clouds that looked like puffy cotton.
Another day, towards evening, as I looked outside my window while eating dinner I noticed my sugar feeder swinging wildly but I only saw wings flapping desperately. I thought, huh, another species of bird must be trying to drink out of the feeder other then my Orioles. That got me thinking further and so I asked Mother, “Where do the baby Orioles go? I’ve never seen one in all these years Orioles have made my backyard theirs.” The very next day to my wonderment I saw Mama Oriole instructing a baby how to drink. He didn’t quite have the knack yet and yes I got a picture. His sibling on the other hand, was a lot more agile and showed off for me how she was able to perch to drink perfectly. Yes I got that too for you to see. What I had thought to be another bird species was in actuality baby Orioles learning how to perch on my feeders. I did not know they had to be taught. What an honor that the Orioles trust me so much they allowed me this year to watch as their babies learned how to perch on the sugar feeders.
Another evening when I was eating dinner, very dark clouds came from out of nowhere and it began to rain. Moments later the sun came out and I just knew there was a rainbow. Despite being in my pj’s I ran outside with my camera and sure enough there it was, this one a double rainbow. However, the far right portion of this rainbow, the brightest and most dramatic of the entire rainbow, I could not see on my LCD screen nor would it show in the pictures I took. I was stunned. Never has this happened. I was on the shoulder of our road attempting to get a shot from a different angle when a pickup truck stopped and young woman comes flying out with her I-phone in hand. We waved and she told me she too was having trouble photographing this rainbow that we could see with our eyes, yet disappearing on our cameras. Yep. I have proof of both the rainbow and the young woman.
I just could not resist one more group of pictures to wrap this “Oh my God!” post up with. My flowers, or some of them at least, do well for themselves to put the exclamation point on the “Oh my God!”. And there you have it!

What a great set of photos with beautiful skies, cloud and a rainbow. The bird and flowers are fantastic. The yellow jackets we have out here nest underground. They have a small hole in the ground for the entrance. We only see a few wasps out at a time, but they can have thousands of wasps in their nests under the ground. I once stepped on a hole without knowing until I had about a dozen wasps came after me. Their stings are very painful. Wishing continued and full recover from the kick.

Thank you, Tim, for the compliments on my photography. It took me quite a while to put this post together! I’ve never seen a yellow jacket nest like this, to be truthful with you, and yes those stings are excruciating. I thought I would go out of my mind between the pain and the itching. So you do know they will send out a swarm when their nest is in danger. I consider myself very fortunate to have received only two stings. I’m getting there with my leg …. I’m over the hump so to speak, finally! Hope you are having a great Sunday!!
When it gets really cold here, hubby is planning on taking this nest and destroying it. Today he has got to set up a sugar water trap for these insects for they are already all over the hummingbird and Oriole feeder, with many floating on top drowned. And yes they do go after the birds who are attempting to drink.

I do not know much about yellow jackets and whether they are similar to wasps. I will Google. We carry antihistamine with us on trail walks and camping, since someone is often sensitive or allergic to stings. I love your sentence “Just how intelligent is Mother Nature?” Your stunning pictures say infinitely more than words, AmyRose. A great capture of the nest. I have never been up this close. I read an article yesterday about clouds and I learned a great deal. In awe of your photos! That hummingbird…Wow! Thank you for sharing an exceptional post, sharing the beauty of our planet. ❤️

Thank you so very much, Kamal, for the wonderful compliment on my photography. Bless you! I’m recovering little by little and believe me, I’m so grateful! Yes I did go through hell with those stings for 3 days. We have a real problem in our yard right now yet we have devised a way to entice the yellow jackets away from the sugar feeders with a “trap”, a bowl filled with very strong sugar water with a big yellow flower like ribbon. The plan is they will fall into the sugar water in their greed and drown. Sounds terrible, but Kamal, these insects are a danger to both my husband and myself, our neighbor, and all wildlife that comes into our backyard. I look forward to when it gets cold, these insects go dormant, and hubby can take the nest down to destroy it. Hubby and I do not believe in destroying anything Nature but I draw the line when it comes to danger.

So glad you saw these miracles that unfolded in front of my eyes.
Hubby and I are on a mission right now to keep those yellow jackets away from the sugar feeders that both hummers and Orioles feed from. They are nasty, combative, and they will attack. I wish we could get their nest out now but we have to wait until it gets cold and these insects go dormant. Then the nest will be destroyed. We also are learning how to prevent this from happening in the first place by putting out traps in March. That is exactly what we are going to do. Sending you much love your way!!! xo

Spectacular Amy! I love the hummingbird and the rainbow photos. The flowers are always magnificent too! Im glad you didn’t have further sting’s from the yellow jackets. Some years ago I had a huge bee’s nest built in my magnolia tree. I actually watched them build it over time. It was so interesting. I stayed away from it and continued to observe after it was done, witnessing how the bee’s would come and go. I think my neighbor thought I was a bit crazy for not taking it down. As the seasons changed, the nest (like the size of an oblong basket ball) started getting picked at by the birds and used for something until it finally was gone. It was so amazing to just witness and not get involved with the nest at all and just watch how it disappeared on it’s own and provided for something more than just the bee’s who created it.

Cathy, I know how fascinated I am with this nest for in seeing it, how it has been created is mind blowing. However, these yellow jackets are interfering with our hummers and Orioles and present a potential danger to myself and hubby and our neighbor. I do not feel comfortable going out in some sections of my backyard to do my gardening. Hubby right now has a trap set up to catch and kill, but as yet the yellow jackets are not going to it. We won’t call a “professional” who will use chemicals because right now we have honey bees harvesting my lavender which is right next to this bush. Nope. We are doing this the safe way.

Why thank you, Julie! We are having so much trouble this year with hornets and yellow jackets and are amazed by the sheer number of them. As of this writing, I cannot get anywhere near the sugar feeders due to the intense swarming around them and on them. So many are dead in the sugar water, numbers I’ve never seen before. Tonight when it gets dark, I’m taking some peppermint oil spray to protect myself with and take down all the feeders. I feel so badly about doing this for they are a combo for hummers and Orioles. As for Orioles, I’ve not seen a one lately and have been questioning if they have left already, a good month early. Very odd things I am seeing and it is just not the stinging insects. Lavender fyi is right next to the bush with that nest in it. It did nothing to deter these insects from building their nest. Just saying. Big hugs!! xo
