Dance to Raise Funds and Votes

In an  effort to raise funds for Japan, my 8 year old niece performed a 2 minute dance during a Cardio Dance Party recently.



She is incredible!
You've got to watch this!

You may have to log into a Facebook account to view since I have extracted the video from Facebook.

Have you enjoyed Desiree's remarkable entertainment?

Apart from fund raising, Desiree is also vote raising for her aunt who is participating in 2 categories of a local blogging contest.

Here's a yellow collage which consists of blooms in my garden as a token of my appreciation for your dropping by and for voting.
The instruction for voting is at the bottom of the post.

This red collage would be for my little niece for helping me raise votes.

Thank you for the incredible dance, Desiree.
Thank you for the support everyone.

...and this paper wasp is to make my post complete.
See, it is smiling!

Paper Wasp's Nursery

Paper wasp are insects that build their nests with papery material.

The nest is constructed by the collection of dead wood material and mixing them with saliva.

Amazingly, the nest is water resistant.

This particular nest suspended from a ficus tree branch in my garden.

The nest is a nursery with one larvae to each cell.

I could see the larvae move in and out.

Wasps are considered beneficial insects by gardeners.

The larvae are fed on chewed up caterpillars.

Adults wasps themselves feed on nectar.

I observed that the wasp occasionally push the larvae back into the cell with their legs.

I took this shot because it looked cute.
I am selecting this bum shot to enter  Picture This Contest at Gardening Gone Wild.

An adult admiring the baby.

(Just kidding.)

When a wasp from another nest flew over, they fought.

The adult wasps are very protective and one stared at me with a very stern face.

I thank them for not stinging me.

I guess they did not feel threatened.
