Sirocco is a warm wind from the southeast. In the maps, the wind rose was positioned within the Mediterranean and specifically between the Ionian Sea and the island of Malta. Thus the wind that came from the North-East came from Greece and took the name of Grecale. the libeccio wind from Libya.The one that came from the South-East came from Syria and took the name of Scirocco. According to some Sicilian popular beliefs, this wind was considered a harbinger of misfortune and disease. These beliefs had their roots in the distant past, when North Africa was the permanent site of outbreaks of endemic infectious diseases whose germs were transported to southern Italy by mosquitoes and midges, bad flyers but very skilled in exploiting the Sirocco air currents .
Mosquitoes bite you as if they are in some kind of love with you. Tonight I was bitten by the last mosquito of the year...it was determined to make it count too...

Milk Motion makes incredible scenes, almost every month. This month was no exception and brought us the Water Edge's Scene. The scene is beautifully arranged and the bridge stands over water filled with lilly pads and cattails. The party balloons are perhaps my new favorite thing and I want to rezz these celebratory trees all over Ippos...

Not many mosquitos on this snowy day in late May, but beautiful new growth on the willows along Rock Creek. At 10,370 ft (3160 m), this is one of the highest places one can drive in the Eastern Sierra. I am eager to hike here, hopefully this coming autumn, as I won't have to gain much elevation to feel high in the mountains.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

All I can think about when I look at this picture is how badly the mosquitos were attacking me at the time. I got there too early and was afraid I wouldn’t even make it to sunrise. After the sun finally came up I fled way sooner than I would have liked considering how long it took me to get up there. This is also where I was sitting when I took the wildflower image I posted a few days ago.
Mosquitoes are members of a group of about 3,500 species of small flies within the family Culicidae.
This one has been photobombed by a Badger.
