Common Wasp taking off
Common Wasp (Vespula Vulgaris) taking off unexpectedly.
Out of focus and motion blur, but that's par for the course. These critters seem to enjoy sitting still just long enough for you set the shot up, then move or fly off just before you click the shutter. And no I did not get stung.
