Remember, Remember
English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
I like the textures and colours in this picture.
ReplyDeleteNature is wonderful.
So is your photography.
Thank you! Apparently they chew wood into pulp using their 2mm long jaws (this is the common UK wasp) and mix it with their saliva which is like a resin. Then they spit it back out and make the nest with membrane like walls to create the chambers for their young. Amazing creatures!
ReplyDeleteWe have them here and are called "Paper Wasps" here. They are usually busy building small nests at the corners of protected areas.
ReplyDeleteIts been quite a year for insects.
ReplyDeleteThe bee hive in the garden.
The leaf cutter bees.
Lots of good insects, which help the flowers.
I saw a lady bird with so many spots they could not be counted.
Not so many ants. May be the cold weather stopped them.
What ever I rate this as a special year for insects and garden.
