Here is what I did on Friday the 16th of November during my 18ºC lunch-break 
PLEASE Check all 3 pictures
1
-You look merry, mate..
well there are FREE drinks at the old mirabelle tree
2 -good to have 6 legs to stand on
3- should have taken more water with it
the morning frost makes the mirabelles drop on a container.. but it also makes them ferment 
Plum dropping weather so the local hornets came all in for a drink!!
___________
many thanks to you all who commented and voted on the icicles and their shadow
And 3 cheers to Walter for the UA

How apt that you should post this
I accidentally killed a female one this morning
Crushed her to death, while I was investigating a pile of mossy logs
She was do dormant, but so beautiful to look at

Your title certainly caught my attention, Annette! Even though I haven't even had breakfast yet!
V2 is a great close-up.
Malc
Oh yes...and please stop boasting about 18c lunch-breaks
we're on 1.8c
The container makes an excellent background. Lovely colour and clarity but I'm not surprised you're shooting at 200mm. I want some of that ethanol flash as well 
Dave
V3 is hilarious, the one on the left looks stoned out of its mind.
Love the Exif...
Moira
18C lunch break grrrrrr love all three Annette great detail and love the texture
Graham
Quite happy with the three thank you Annette, I have a couple of shots of a European Hornet that paid us a visit!, He was nearly 4 cm long with red and yellow stripes, people fuss about them but generally they are less of a problem than wasps who are a nuisance!, never kill one as when dying they give off a hormone this will alert the rest of the nest to attack! worth remembering lol. three good shots, regards Leon.
Excellent work here Annette, wonderful detail.
A tremendous set of macros Annette, I found v3 most amusing. The hornet in that one is doing a very good impression of the Big O after his day spent in the ciderhouses of Gloucester on Friday!
The one on the left in V3 looks plastered!!! Three fine macro shots.
