Wildlife and such
Here is a small collection of images and .mov (silent) of the various critters around my house. Wasps, Fish, Tadpoles, Evidence of Carpenter Ants, and a big Mushroom attached to a dead stump with a burrow hole next to it.
Wasps on the South East corner of my house:

Here are some images of my little pond:
Last year we had a carpenter ant infestation…an enormous oak in a neighbor’s yard came crashing down in our backyard…and onto our shed 🙁 It took out a large section of fencing and my lawnmower that was in the shed. One of my roomates, the guitar player in our band, uses his room as more of a storage facility than a bedroom and he decided to clean his room the other day. Here are a few images of the carpenter ant sawdust near his window sill:
I wish I had taken pictures of it sooner because it is partially broken and recently started to turn green, but here are a couple shots of a huge mushroom that is growing off the side of a dead tree stump near my pond. There is a several inch burrow hole that is kinda hard to see in the pics next to the stump/shroom.
Ok, here are some quick videos of the wasps and the pond. I am having a bit of trouble with wordpress, so you will need to click the cheesy pictures to get the .mov to play in a new window.

if you look closely you can see two tadpoles swimming near the goldfish…
