You keep off my Globe - a photo on Flickriver

            There were several wasps on my Globe Thistles this morning.  I've always enjoyed the face to face look of wasps, and been stung by them several times, adding to the frisson.   But they seemed to be enjoying the slightly dewy flower, and even appeared slightly inebriated.  So they didn't seem too put off by my lens poked up close. But I did duck as quickly as I could when one took off in my direction.
