W is for Walk

We went for a walk today, in the park where we usually go to walk the dogs, enjoy the lingering fall weather, and watch what is happening in the natural forest habitat.

Today, a ray of sun illuminated this amazing wasp nest hanging like a giant pineapple in a tree.

We've been watching this nest increase in size for weeks, but this was the first time its odd shape and crown of ferns was caught in sunlight bright enough for me to capture this photo.

Also enjoying the sun was this charming squirrel. We actually caught him snoozing - but he opened his eyes with a smile. I took both of these pics, but my husband takes the credit for spotting both the nest and the squirrel.  It was a good walk.
