Close Encounters of the Waspy Kind.

True story.
On Thursday I was watching "The Bee Movie" with my 2 year old nephew. He fell asleep on the couch while I sat near him sewing. All of a sudden a BEE flew in my house! I ran!!!! And then I realized that there was a poor, helpless, snoozing bitty boy that I couldn't just bail on. So I trapped the bee in a jar & let him go free outside.

The NEXT day we watched "The Bee Movie" again. Later on I found a dead wasp on my floor. (I think I will steer clear of bug movies for a while.)


Anyway, being the picture-obsessed gal that I am, I grabbed my camera--& the wasp. The girls & I had lots of fun examining & investigating this little creature. Zoey grabbed her magnifying glass-- & I had an idea!
I started to get an even closer view of our little {dead} friend with the combination of my camera + the magnifying glass. My sweet picture-taker is a little point-n-shoot Kodak Easyshare C663 with 3x optical zoom. (It's been good to me, but I dream of someday owning a big-girl camera.) The magnifying glass gave me a little more "zoom" & it was really fun to take pictures this way!
