We’re having a mosquito year! Heavy spring rains and flash flooding in some areas have brought out the nasty little critters in thick swarms. It’s impossible to avoid them when you’re outdoors, even in the city, where they are not usually a huge problem due to mitigation measures. On a hike out at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park earlier this week, my husband and I added a slightly frantic waving arm/slap routine to our walk and it ended up being quite the upper body workout. The views were worth the ridiculousness, though.

So sorry to hear about mosquito problems. We’ve tried so many things to keep them at bay. But mostly we just have to keep ourselves at bay by staying inside. Wishing you all the best with the little creatures!
I do enjoy your mountain views. Mosquitoes are miserable creatures.
Wat een prachtig panorama
Exactly the opposite of Maine. So dry this spring that we hardly have any mosquitoes. Beautiful view!
Beautiful scenery, Sheryl! We don’t notice mosquitoes here much until the autumn; what troublesome insects they are!
