The title says it all - never go to the Pine river at dusk without a long shirt and mosquito repellent. Don't know what I was thinking.
The sky was totally devoid of clouds this afternoon, which makes for a fairly dull background. There are a few interesting locations around here though, so shall try again. This time with the RID.
Seeing this beautiful light when I was walking in the park 2 days ago blew my mind... mosquito bokeh? Well this was the first time I saw that :) *click*
... I love this lens :)

My son has been raising mosquitos' in the garden. It was time to get a picture of the offspring. These shots were a real headache! I wanted to use natural light but Wales was not bathed in sun.
Best viewed large.
An Autumn late afternoon/early evening. Only just enough breeze to make the cobwebs shimmer. Starting to get a bit chilly. Mosquitoes dancing in the air backlit by the setting sun.

Mientras trabajaba en la computadora
este pequeño rufian sorbia y sorbia y dije
ok! robaré un poco de tu alma en una foto
ya que un cachito de la naturaleza ha entrado a
este recinto civilizado donde no te dejan entrar legalmente.
No importa pequeña muchachita, tu puedes entrar aqui
y salir, quitar un poco de glóbulos rojos a quien se deje
si logras escapar.
Eres libre de decidir.

"A Separate Little War: The Banff Coastal Command Strike Wing versus the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe" by Andrew Bird gives more infomation...
Every day for nine months from September 1944 to the end of the war, young British, Commonwealth and Norwegian airmen flew from Banff aerodrome in northern Scotland in their Mosquitoes and Beaufighters to target the German U-Boats, merchantmen and freighters plying along the coast and in the fjords and leads of southwest Norway, encountering the Luftwaffe and flakships every step of the way. This Scottish strike wing fought in some of the bitterest and bloodiest attacks of the war, all at very low level and at close quarters. Their contribution to winning the war was crucial and while the cost in precious lives and equipment was in the same proportion as Bomber Command, they inflicted far greater damage to the enemy in relation to their losses. With Group Captain The Hon. Max Aitken, DSO DFC as station commander, Banff was eventually to become the base for a total of six Mosquito squadrons (including 235, 248 and 143), together with B Flight of the elite 333 Norwegian Squadron, and would team up on missions with the nearby Dallachy Beaufighter strike wing (404 RCAF, 455 RAAF, 489 RNZAF and 144 Squadrons). Banff was also home at one time to the famous 617 (Dambuster) Squadron after their successful attach on the Tirpitz. Two further aerodromes fall within the scope of Andrew Bird's study - Fraserburgh, with its air-sea rescue role and Peterhead which supplied Mustang fighters as escort from 315 (Deblin) Squadron and 19, 65 and 234 RAF Squadrons.

My friend has a nice fountain that is well-populated with mosquito larva. Was well populated. He dumped the water and the larva didn't change into flying mosquitoes fast enough...

This mosquito larvae located just below the surface of the water looked to be attacking the snail. It’s quite interesting to watch the minature world within our water feature.
My captured catch.
One of the reasons I don't go on nature walks that much anymore is this little blood sucking insect that makes a nice moment go away all to fast. Some sprays work, but then you feel toxic after spraying enough to kill the desire to land on yourself if you were a mosquito, and who knows what you're absorbing into your system after a good dose of the killer spray.

AUG 4, ... wow, where does the time go?
Hope you're day is going slower than mine is, I can't believe it's Aug 4th already.
Big Hello from Ottawa and stay clear of the Mosquito's if you can.
With HONY flourishing, and all other major city following, who knows there might be a series like these in the future.
Jokes apart, Dhaka can be crowded mosquito-wise as well.

Lake Superior shoreline of sandstone and sand. The Mosquito River is at the bend at the center. Lots of sand and rock and driftwood there too. Portal Arch (lover's leap?) at the far end, Caves of the Bloody Chiefs a bit closer, Indianhead behind.
This hike was the best I have ever taken. What a fun, fun day. (despite the fact that I may have lost my 1/2 gig camera card somewhere along the way) :(
