This has probably been hanging over my head as I walked for most of the summer. One of the other walking ladies in the neighborhood told me where to look for it, high over the street. What a work of architecture! And from what I read, a very temporary home. All of the workers will soon come to an end and the pregnant females will find a more sheltered place to over winter. The type of wasp that makes these large nests is not agressive like yellow jackets or hornets.
And wasps are good for gardens. A large part of their diet is caterpillars, also flies and beetle larve.
This second, somewhat ordinary shot says “home” to me. Ahhhh; home.
