We walk out the door of our condo's foyer and make a few quick right turns to take Fenway up the bike path. Within minutes we are surrounded by trees, a hill on one side and a creek running on the other. It just feels like an easy way to walk in the woods....and we almost always spot some kind of wildlife.
The trees have dropped almost all of their leaves now so the walk is a little less colorful. The surroundings don't seem as "soft" as when the trees are full and the breeze flips their leaves this way and that. It's more winter-y already.
Yesterday, after his walk, Dave came in with a photo on his phone.
This was hanging right above his head at the tree just at the start of the path. We've been walking beneath it for months......never noticed any activity. The nest really is fascinating to look at. I don't know much about wasps (other than I prefer to avoid them) but assume they are dormant inside the structure until next spring? Quietly waiting warmer weather again.
I have to wonder just how big this grey nest will get?
