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!

Swarmed by biting insects this beautiful monitor shifted position, rubbed her face along the rock and resettled for another attempt at sleep. It was short lived. No sooner had she closed her eyes when midge and mosquito returned - and bought a horde of friends and family with them.
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!

I am sorry that this photo in general and the lighting in particular are not better. However, when you run into something this rare, and only have your antique iPhone 4S, you are grateful for what you get.
This incredible find was mine to treasure last summer, but I forgot to download it from my phone until now. Actually, I am glad because now in our somber, COVID-19 plagued late autumn, I think we all need to share and see things that make us smile.
NB - I have not had a chance to ask the owner, but I think she created the zebramino to foil flies. For ordinary zebras, according to:
"Several theories have been proposed for the function of these stripes, with most evidence supporting them as a form of protection from biting flies."

More than a week ago I got a lot of bites that made me very itchy, could this kind of insect be the culprit?
I need to find a good remedy for this...
Another scene from the Euryops daisy patch, where most of our action is now. At first glance, I thought I'd caught a mosquito, but something was missing...Seek indicated "non-biting midge", a different Dipteran for this Fly Day Friday. HFDF!
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.
