Blasted Mosquitoes!
We're not going there again but,
BLASTED MOSQUITOES!
They bring out the red!
Humphf!
Wip-
61°. 61 delicious degrees, that deserved more admiration if the BLASTED MOSQUITOES left me alone! Don't wanna go there again...
No visitors that I could see, BUT!, I am quite sure there was an owl in the trees across the street and I could smell a skunk nearby. In this case, a real skunk, not the neighborhood smokers. Two beautiful Blue Jays flew overhead and there were many Crows in the distance. A beautiful morning if it weren't for the mos... not going there. The humidity is hovering at 100%, the breeze is clocking in at 3 mph and... *heavy sigh*... Fog/Mist. I'm sure it's Fog/Mist somewhere nearby, so I won't sling disparaging epithets. The skies look overcast. Could be a high flying fog. To dark to really tell.
As S reminded me, it fungus time!
All of the above fungi were found just steps away from the Front Porch.
I went out again to take a couple of the above fungi pictures and found a visitor!
Don't know what this hairy little guy is, well, other than a caterpillar and future bird food, but he was agreeable to having his picture taken.
I gotta go!
Work!
Have a GREAT GRAND and GLORIOUS day Travelers!!
Aren't those the best days to have!?!
Update: Google comes thru again.
Acronicta Americana, aka, the American Dagger Moth. In the caterpillar stage those hairs can cause skin irritations. So glad I didn't touch him.
