My son rides his bike up a short trail to school every single day, even if it is snowing sideways. He shares little nuggets of information with me regarding what he saw or heard en route, or he might bring me a treasure from the woods. This particular February day, he called me from school to report having found the greatest ever hornets nest.
"I know you're gonna want it, Mom."
Naturally, I want it. I want to illuminate it, like this one of Uncle Gus's. Fuzzy picture, but in real life, he skillfully mounted a bee specimen as if it were buzzing out at you.
