Inside a Hornet's Nest (Minus the Hornets)

I might as well post these photos since apparently my brain is broken and I can't do history at the moment. This is a hornet's nest that was built in an elm tree over my back yard last summer. I never knew it was there until the leaves dropped in the autumn. It has been slowly deteriorating all winter, and then recently a strong wind blew most of it down from the tree.

I hope my brain rights itself pretty soon.
