I was glad to get out and take pictures today. The mosquitoes are ganging up on me — huge ones I’ve not seen before. They look like Asian Tiger mosquitoes on steroids. Maybe a cross between a mosquito and a sparrow. I use mosquito dunks and drain everything I can think of, yet they come. The woods are holding lots of water puddles because of all the rain we’ve had. I can only do so much. I’m lucky to have dragonflies to help me out.
