Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by.
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.

One of the longest days of the year.. So wonderful to explore the countryside.. Would have been better without the mosquitoes.. Yes, just in case you were wondering, the dots and spots on most of these pictures are not sensor dust - these are all bloody mosquitoes and I left them there so that you can see and I can remember.. ;D
Four-spotted pennant (Brachymesia gravida) with a mosquito it caught above the surface of Lake Taylor in Largo, Florida. When the dragonflies disappeared from Florida for a few years, mosquito control became a problem in some areas. Handheld 340mm shot with Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR & TC-17E II.
En la costa del levante quieren poner unas 3 filas de molinos de viento modernos, es decir, de hélices como esa pero dentro del mar. Allá por el 1km o 1,5km de la costa y con una longitud lateral de más de 50 km's, separados unos de otros a una distancia aproximada de entre 100 y 150 mts.(aunque estas últimas cantidades aún no se han concretado en el estudio preliminar)
Esto provocará un paisaje algo inusual, algo poco normal, poco natural, completamente artificial, y totalmente antiestético.
Ahora mi pregunta es: ¿Sabeis cuales son los benefícios? porque si lo anterior eran los contras, ahora vamos a hablar de los pros.
Formaran una barrera escudo contra fuertes oleajes y temporales que modifican continuamente el paisaje de la costa levantina con su erosión y movimientos masivos de arena, evitando que desaparezcan parajes de dunas magníficas e incluso protegidas. Ttodos los años el gobierno Central debe gastarse, mejor dicho: TOD@S NOSOTR@S,( - Oscar Camarena me rectificó pues yo había puesto en un principio que esta partida de dinero se extraía de las arcas de la Generalitat Valenciana - ) fortunas en renovar las playas de Piles, Miramar, Bellreguard e incluso Daimuz. Por no hablar de las dunas de Oliva que desaparecen, un poco más, año tras año. Serán un arrecife artificial pero contribuirá a la regeneración de cerca de 10.000, SÍ SÍ... 10.000 especies sólamente en el Mediterraneo. Y por si esto no fuera poco, claro! hay que hablar de la energia que producen. Suficiente como para prescindir de 2 centrales nucleares.
Ah!!!... y se me olvidaba. Los antiestéticos 'mosquitos' producirían cerca de 5000 nuevos puestos de trabajo, de manera directa, y más de 2000 puestos de trabajo indirectos.
Sinceramente... cada vez me gustan más estos 'mosquitos' !!!!
Os invito a ver otra galería, que os gusta bien, que no... tambien. X
In this beautiful valley near Inversanda I was under heavy attack by mosquitos while trying to take pictures. They probably don't like strangers. ;-). The mosquito bites itched heavily for a whole week, but I think it was all worth it!

Mosquito Creek in North Vancouver, BC is normally just a trickle of water but the winter rains have turned this creek into a rushing torrent.
From an afternoon hike in june 2007. In the company of a few colleages from work I headed out for the mountain Skolma on a very nice afternoon. After reaching the top of the mountain I stayed behind when the others went back, hoping to catch some late afternoon/sunset light on my way down.
This was taken in the lower part of my descent from the mountain, standing in the small river that exits a lake in the Ytreflødalen valley.
The title refers to the thick swarms of mosquitos that surrounded the river at this time.
Even if there are no mosquitos visible in the picture there were so many of them that I had to keep wawing my hand in front of the lens while shooting, to keep them away from the lens. Some of the other shots from this location were ruined by insects on the lens itself or close to it. Strangely I did not get a single mosquito bite so it must have been some kind of non-biting type maybe.

Las libélulas también tienen un apetito voraz, consumen hasta 300 mosquitos y otros insectos voladores al día, son a veces conocidos como halcones de mosquitos.
Expertos y diestros voladores, ningún otro animal tiene la capacidad de maniobra de vuelo de la libélula.
Son expertas en lo que hacen y lo hacen sin descanso.
I’ll remember this shot for the number of mosquitos stings I received during the very short time I allowed myself to set the tripod plus the time of the exposure. Amazing !

Certainly, this tiny mosquito is a true lady. Look at her eyelashes, on a slender legs, on a mantle with a fur trim. This is a beautiful lady. And besides, she's a vegetarian. She did not bite the photographer (after all, the ladies do not bite). She reigned in her world on a small leaf ...

Rus.: Маааленький комарик ;-)
Наверное вегетарианец...
Совсем даже не напал на фотографа, а, напротив, позировал и позволил поднести к себе объектив на минимальное расстояние - очень хотел попасть на фото.
А какие реснички у комарика! Какие стройные ножки! А какая накидка, отороченная мехом... Это, безусловно, комар-леди...
Бытует мнение, что именно комары-леди и кусают... Ничего подобного! Во-первых, настоящие леди не кусаются.
А перед Вами, без сомнений, истинная леди!
Во-вторых, ну как... как такая утончённая натура могла бы пить кровь?
Она и не пила.
А вот вокруг фотографа роились несметные полчища её ревнивых и кровожадных обожателей. Вот от них-то мне досталось!
Они-то не просто кусали, а прямо-так норовили меня сожрать...
Но я завершил фотосет ради этого кадра с истинной леди ;-)
Mosquito and mosqita (from the Spanish meaning little fly) is a common insect in the family Culicidae (from the Latin culex meaning midge or gnat). Mosquitoes resemble crane flies (family Tipulidae) and chironomid flies (family Chironomidae), with which they are sometimes confused by the casual observer.
Mosquitoes go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult or imago. Adult females lay their eggs in water, which can be a salt-marsh, a lake, a puddle, a natural reservoir on a plant, or an artificial water container such as a plastic bucket. Adult females can live up to a month – more in captivity – but most probably do not live more than 1–2 weeks in nature.
Mosquitoes have mouthparts which are adapted for piercing the skin of plants and animals. They typically feed on nectar and plant juices. In some species, the female needs to obtain nutrients from a "blood meal" before she can produce eggs.
There are about 3,500 species of mosquitoes found throughout the world. In some species of mosquito, the females feed on humans, and are therefore vectors for a number of infectious diseases affecting millions of people per year.
