Rothschild Pound House Bed and Breakfast

*****

Entrance to the side yard of the Rothschild Pound House Bed and Breakfast. The B&B is not just one house  with rooms for rent, it is made up of multiple cottages and a restaurant. Mel Gibson and the other actors of the movie, "We Were Soldiers Once", stayed in these cottages during the filming. As the story goes, they were all originally staying at the Historic Columbus Hilton, but Madeline Stowe, while riding a bike around the neighborhood saw the cottages and moved into one of them. The rest of the actors followed suit.

Cow Killer Ant

*****

I saw a butterfly fluttering around the flowers and went to get a better look and found this; a cow killer ant. I have lived here for 20 years and have never seen or even heard of these before. They are apparently wingless hornets/wasps and can be very dangerous. They can supposedly take down a cow.
