Interesting setting, Gene. I like the reflection. Any story as to why it is taking a swim? Nice and sharp - I like it.

Leigh, Have been out of town--sorry it took so long to respond.  Wasps do not bathe--as far as I have ever seen.  They land on the water and float wherever the wind takes them.  While floating, they drink water and when they have their fill, fly off.

All the best
