OMG! Hornets' nest!
Found this hornets' nest while working in my garage and thought I would share the story.
A few years ago, J's grandfather died and I was invited to drive up to his house in San Leandro and take whatever I wanted of his old tools and stuff. This was a ranch house and outbuilding at least some 100 years or so old, and a lot of the tools and stuff we found in there weren't much newer.
One of the items I took home with me was a big metal cabinet full of little drawers holding nuts and bolts and screws and lot of other fasteners. I hadn't done much with it until today, when I moved it on my new workbench I built. I had to remove all the drawers to lift it, and I found this old hornets' nest in one of the drawers.
Gawd knows how long it has been there. After I snapped this photo I couldn't think of what to do with it, so I just stuck the drawer back in the cabinet.
I'll organize the drawers and their contents later.
Technical notes: Couldn't get the shutter speed high enough without a flash, so I ran upstairs and grabbed the monopod to shoot in in ambient light.
