Description
I know this is a little fuzzy, I had to blow it up a little and I shot it from pretty far away. And I know this is just a little old Orchard Mason Bee...but.. last year I got swarmed by yellow jackets and got stung all over my body. THey were under a log I was kneeling on planting some flowers and went up my pantlegs before I knew they were there. It was horrible. THey were all over me, my two year old was right behind me so I had to throw him in the house and knock a few off the back of his shirt. My daughter grabbed him and ripped his clothes off to make sure he didn't have anymore on him. My hubby grabbed the hose and started blasting me with it to get them off while I backed my way into the garage and shut the door. Dripping wet, started to strip off the wet clothes and there was another one in my pants that got me again and then got the hubby. I got stung all over my body.
anyway... that is the not so "long story short" as to why I had to take this from far away!
Anything that buzzes makes me jump still...lol

A fabulous photo! You can't tell that it was taken from a ways off. It's not really fuzzy but maybe just grainy and that is fine. AND you seem to be facing your fears quite well! (for me it is ANTS....brrrr)
