An Interlude: The Beauty of Wasps Nests

Nature's own sculpture in the garden: two wasps nests in our garden this summer.

Amazing how they building their nest around/encompassing the leaves

I love the textures and the rhythms

And a second, much - MUCH!! - larger one, deep under the roots of a fir tree.
A hungry badger came in the night; this is how it was left in the morning:

Still beautiful, despite the devastation

This is what he/she was after

The preditor's trail

And then the subsequent repair job, a couple of days later: 

Here too beautiful textures and rhythms and patterns; Nature does that so well ...

The beauty of these shapes!

And these exquisite hexagonal cells

Including the grub (escaped the badger!)

Inside

And outer side

INSPIRING!!
