I had to go to zoom view to see the arrow. And right on the path, too.... hope the hornets don't take unsuspecting strollers by surprise!

Who would have thought a tree could be so dangerous :)

They need a eviction notice so that unsuspecting children and adults alike don't get a big bite. Looks like a beautiful place to visit. Thanks for sharing Andrea.

those are the worse kind - no barbs on the stingers and they are like a machine gun when they start stinging

I was confused by so many sweet chestnut trees in front of the scary hole! A beautiful woodland walk though I bet?

What a gorgeous shot! Your hornets over there seem a bit more ambitious than the ones I am familiar with: in the Midwestern USA, hornets are content to just hang their nests from a rather nicely-protected branch, but its always easy to spot them: just look for the thing that looks like an ancient clay pot with a hole in the bottom. I like the "stealth nest" better, though I'd also need to know where it is just so that I don't unintentionally start an interspecies incident by violating the Neutral Zone: hornets are protective of their neutral zones, you know. What a fabulous photo! This looks like such a wonderful place to walk around and enjoy all of that wonderful Nature-stuff that we don't get enough of in Chicago. And hornets too! I'm not interested in testing whether or not I'm on their no-sting list, but I have to say that I find them quite fascinating in that "ooh-look-a-pretty-insect" sort of way.

A beautiful place to walk without the danger of hornets attacking you. Had to zoom to see the purple arrow!
