I stopped at Mud Lake (shown here is a view of the Ottawa River) this day to spend a few minutes feeding the tame chickadees, nuthatches and ducks. I only found three chickadees, no ducks, woodpeckers or anything else, and those three chickadees were not at all interested in me, so my plan was a bust! But the sun and blue skies were a nice break from the non-stop overcast we have had since September 2010, so with no birds around I instead looked around for a landscape shot. This is it!
I've gone back to last year, about the same time of year in the same area to finish off those shots before starting more into this year's trip.
And it looks like I'm a serial wasp stalker! I was under the shade of a Coolabah Tree at Combo Waterhole having a rest from the midday heat when I noticed these wasps mud mining on a little mud island in the waterhole.
They use the mud to build shelters for their pupa to hatch. All these wasps would be building individual nests but they are quite friendly as a group and many of them were digging their mud balls out of the same hole with up to 3 wasps head down and bum up at times.
The top wasp is making off with its ball of mud while the others are returning for refills. They were fascinating to watch.

Both Mud Monsters were over joyed to see me today.
And to celebrate their exuberance they continued to
crash into me with overwhelming speed and accuracy.
.So now I'm a Mud Monster too ...............;-)
Thank You.

In May 2006, an eruption of mud began to flow in Sdoarjo Indonesia. The cause of the mud volcano is still disputed, with some theories blaming the drilling of a natural gas well by PT Lapindo Brantas, and others attributing the flow to a distant earthquake. In any case, the mud flow is the largest mud volcano in the world, spewing 180,000 cubic meters of mud per day, and is expected to continue to flow for another 25-30 years. With the eruption, 40,000 villagers were displaced and 20 were killed.
