cuz there's so much I want to say ...Remember.... Silent, and Listen, are spelled with the same letters....
A bull elk uses his antlers to scratch and drive off biting flies on a warm day in Estes Park, Colorado. The bull and his harem retreated into Lake Estes to cool off, but the flies continued to plague them. If you look closely, you can see a few of the flies on his upper leg and rump.
This shot was taken on the first day of our fifth trip during 2022. It has become an annual tradition to visit Rocky Mountain National Park for the elk rut.
Well, this guy was either very clever or strangely confused....fishing for something...money? That other person’s cell phone? A compliment??? I never found out.
In general, Vaska is indifferent to shoes (unlike our previous cats). But one of our guests wore knitted slippers, to which Vaska was clearly interested :-) HAPPY CATURDAY!
Thank you all for visits, faves and comments - greatly appreciated!
to keep working on not scratching people and not biting anyone. I'm now just 8 months old and doing so well Mom has put away the Band-aid box. Now when someone gets scratched it's a pure accident, like last night when Benni got up and stretched and I had to go leaping off the bed. Who knew Mom's leg would be in the way??"

They do say it sometimes pays to hang around at least 20 mins after the sun has gone down for the illusive "after-glow", well this was fully 30 minutes after the sunset, and a bitingly cold descent in almost pitch darkness my reward for baring witness to a memorable after-glow.

a biting wind called for a bacon bap from the little café next to the car park when we were back to the car
another mile walked to add to my total.....
A candid street photo of a young man who successfully holds concurrently positions of the lifeguard and a happy fisherman. He catches fish while there is nobody to save. Or maybe he is off-duty or the park beach is closed for swimming due to approaching hurricane or just the summer rain. Anyway it's biting. Well, is he going to catch a lovely blonde mermaid? May the good luck be with him.
BugGuide identified this as a non-biting Midge. I hadn't seen one before but that's just me ;) I find it quite interesting that it has interesting mouth-parts, like two little arms with which I believe it uses to hold it's food while it eats it. It also has these very interesting and quite fuzzy antenna. Cute for a bug - in my opinion and ever better when it's a bug that doesn't bite me!
Taken 29 May 2023 in my yard near Wasilla, Alaska.
A reprocessed image originally uploaded several years ago catches HST unit 254003, then fairly new out of the box, heading south through a bitingly cold and snowy Retford with an express for London Kings Cross.
Our visit had been intended to capture Deltics in the wintry conditions, which by then were being displaced from top-link East Coast Mainline services by these new kids on the block. In fairness the passengers were pretty happy given the sublime level of comfort offered by the HSTs, even in second class, and with a cruising speed of 125 mph the new trains were already game-changers in the public's perception of British Rail.
Railway snappers were less enthused however and, sad to say, despite at least two of the iconic Deltic class passing through that day, I came away with no shots making the cut - possibly due to the challenging exposure conditions, or maybe as simple as getting the focusing point wrong.
Still, at least this one worked out, and was deliberately framed to include the brake van at right. On the left is West Carr Road with a petrol station on the corner boasting an 'Open' sign - I suspect business may have been a bit thin that day, but no surprise this small local outlet no longer exists.
The bridge in the background with the concrete supports is of a utilitarian design similar to one carrying the then A46 'Fosse Way' over the ECML a bit further south at Newark-on-Trent. A study of Google Street View suggests the bridge has been replaced with something more substantial, possibly as part of the ECML electrification programme in the 1980’s.
For the record, the power cars in this formation were 43060 and 43061. And for more images like this from the 1970s, you might want to check out...

Non Biting Midge (family Chironomidae)
It had been running around on this leaf of the Mirror bush, thankfully it decided to rest for a few moments.

Station Island, Lough Derg, County Donegal, Ireland
This enormous religious complex of dorms & churches etc is named ‘St Patrick's Purgatory’. Built on an ancient pilgrimage site isolated on this small island on 'Lough Derg’ meaning (Lake of the Cave). For over 1500 years pilgrims have been visiting the Lough Derg shores to find peace & pray for loved ones. Visitors to this monastery starve themselves for 3 days & nights, pray continuously & walk barefoot on sharp rocks amongst the cold & biting midges. This is all part of the pilgrimage here that is said to be one of the toughest to complete in the world!
According to legend this Island site dates from the fifth century, when ‘Jesus Christ’ showed ‘St Patrick’ a cave on Station Island. This cave was supposedly an entrance to ‘Purgatory’ that ‘St Patrick’ had visions in from the otherworld, hence the name “St Patrick's Purgatory”. The cave that started it all has been closed since 1632 and covered over by the Basilica to protect others & welcomes people from all over the world to visit & pray over the gateway for all time.

Non-biting Midge (family Chironomidae)
On one of Pam's White Roses.
The white petal helps when looking at the antennae!
About 4 mm in length.
This coastal brown bear yearling is rolling on the ground and chomping on its claws while giving a glance in my direction. Probably looking to see what's making that shutter sound as the cameras click away around me, capturing some endearing moments in the life this young cub. Momma bear was very close by during this.
Taken 5 June 2019 at Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
HFF! Walking along the Waterfront Recreational Trail, a shared path in Toronto today. Groups of gnats were constantly swarming over us, not pleasant!
“Gnat is the common name for very small winged insects in the fly grouping. They can be both biting and non-biting. Most often they fly in large numbers called clouds“. Wikipedia Typically they are weak flyers.
