Is Anyone Home? by taffy

Is Anyone Home?

This is hanging about 500 feet down the road from our place, in pristine condition. Fortunately, I haven't seen any hornets or wasps using it (though our neighbor said she's seen one going in).
Who wants to poke it to find out? Perhaps it should be eradicated in case a hoard of stinging insects finds it! Good for bokeh!

It's green rather than grey and papery so a new nest: I think it's the queen that's been seen and her progeny will be along shortly...

Awesome picture.

Oh wow what a fabulous nest, but not so fabulous having wasps or hornets in it.
September 28th, 2019  
Great find
September 28th, 2019  
I would be afraid to go near that
September 28th, 2019  
The patterns that are created in the making of these nests are fascinating.

Nice sharp nest and lovely bokeh!

Great find and shot! Fav

great composition, colour, and DoF

Wonderful dof and detail

Sounds like @vignouse knows what he’s talking about. Fun times ahead!
September 29th, 2019  
@vignouse Mmm...do you think I should have someone knock it down or otherwise try to get rid of it, since it is within range of a few of the homes along the road? Worrisome to have a full family of these to cope with.

I'd stay clear of the hornet's nest!
September 29th, 2019  
Ack!! Beautiful shot, but I have a deep and sincere fear of these guys.
September 29th, 2019  
Love the composition and colors!
September 29th, 2019  
A wonderful nature shot.
September 29th, 2019  
Beautiful find and great capture, love the textures of it and the lovely bokeh.
September 29th, 2019  
Not sure I would like to be anywhere near this
September 29th, 2019  
Frankly this would scare the s@#$t out of me.. so i'm just going to focus on the lovely bokeh
September 29th, 2019  
quite a thing to find -- and good thing it only looks good for photography and not for those wanting to live in it!
September 29th, 2019  
Great textures of nest and fabulous bokeh. Lovely light.
September 29th, 2019  
these nests are so fascinating - terrific capture :)
September 29th, 2019  
Great for photography and this is a nice offset shot. But yes - I would usually get a professional to eradicate the nest if it is in proximity of people living.
September 29th, 2019  
Wonderful shot. Fab bokeh.
September 29th, 2019  
Beautiful close-up shot. I wouldn't want it close to me. I found one once in the garden and had to smoke the wasps out in order to remove and burn it.
September 29th, 2019  
Good shot
September 29th, 2019  
Pretty home but not usually the occupants!
September 29th, 2019  
Beautifully focused on the nest. Hope it doesn’t bother you , but isn’t nature just amazing!
September 29th, 2019  
Great focus on this nest...Don't get too close...
September 29th, 2019  
Great find and capture
September 29th, 2019  
Long live the queen 😍
September 29th, 2019  
Wow that’s something to see
September 29th, 2019  
Has beautiful textures, they are quite something really
September 29th, 2019  
fab picture of the nest , maybe someone could knock it down in the winter if anyone's on the island? Well, if they will reuse it in the spring not sure will have to goggle that question.
September 30th, 2019  
That's a pretty big one, so it's not something you really want to tangle with to find out if it's still in use. Since it's not hanging near a place where people are, I'd let it be! Good shot!
September 30th, 2019  
Wow! We had one in our front garden one year, so had to get rid of it. Wonderful composition.
September 30th, 2019  
Great composition
September 30th, 2019  
Great find and capture.

There was a hornet's nest behind our property on a park path. I contacted the city, and it was removed within a couple of days.
September 30th, 2019  
It's so large, I would be so nervous but good thing its empty for now. Great shot of it!
September 30th, 2019  
Nice capture!! Scary if you’re too close!!
October 1st, 2019  
It looks great in your wonderful photo - but I don't think I'd like it near our house...
October 1st, 2019  
Wonderful shot Taffy!! I think I would get someone to get rid of it. They are very scary when angry!!
October 1st, 2019  
I would go out at night with a couple of cans of hornet spray and soak it completely through the hole
