I’ve been stitching this wasp; since the dead heat months of summer I’ve been thinking about wasps, hornets, stingers, venom, vengeance, and more. Something about the Scorpion season helps me dig deeper into this:

We are hitting peak leaf season in my area of NJ. Been enjoying the changing colors at Memorial Lake in Woodstown, Ella Harris Park in Mullica Hill, and downtown Swedesboro:
