Ice Storm 12/19/08

I stopped by Mom and Dad's house the morning after the big ice storm. This was one of the worst looking trees, but we got it staked back and it's going to be A.O.K.

Here's the wasp nest that was hanging in one the huge trees at the front of my parents' lot. The tree branch was so heavy that it was low enough for me to snag without using a ladder.
This gives you an idea of what size the nest was. Note: I wear a womens size 11 shoe. It was cool to see the different layers inside the nest.
