I do not know why they were there and what they were doing? Or why they were so passive on a warm humid day and allow me to take some pictures.
The eyes have it -we won’t prune here today.
As we are pruning or weeding we try to be aware of what is going on around us. Such as bees, wasp and hornets flying in and out of a shrub for there might be a hive in there.
When we do find one we leave it be, not to disturb or destroy it, we work around it.
We let the customer know and suggest to leave it be, share it with their kids or grandkids for the wonder of it.
And we will be back at some future point, when they have moved on to finish what we started and happy to have seen it.

Are those bald-faced hornets?
Wow – up close and personal with nature.
Antilandscaper, Your entry has touched my heart…
I too believe in leave them alone -all creatures- to go about their business.
Nature put them there, there must be some good reason for the Big Picture.
