Are you a native Mississippian? We sometimes count deer or hawks on our trips to swim meets. There's an abundance of wildlife in Mississippi. I think that's what I love most about living here. I've never been to Oregon, but it's on my wish list of places to go. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-52470844387606284352007-10-02T16:10:00.000-05:002007-10-02T16:10:00.000-05:00They haven't seen the termite swarms have they?lol...They haven't seen the termite swarms have they?lol.

I think they're both handsome but, of course, you know I'm wildly biased. :)<BR/><BR/>We were guessing the bugs were gnats till we got up close and then they looked a bit larger than I expected. But, I really don't know. Plague bugs. LOL <BR/><BR/>Yep, I'm doing a tag-along trip to Hawaii. David has to go there on business and he *insisted* that I must come along (since I missed Italy and Australia). Admittedly, I didn't fight him too much. It's something to look forward to.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-85266303983730230642007-10-02T10:38:00.000-05:002007-10-02T10:38:00.000-05:00Go dragonflies! *shudders at the density of bugs*Go dragonflies! *shudders at the density of bugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-80924190664155026282007-10-02T05:44:00.000-05:002007-10-02T05:44:00.000-05:00Great picture of your boys!

Apparently, I'm full of surprises in the real world, too, as my husband claims it's the best thing about me. The henpecking doesn't thrill him. LOL<BR/><BR/>The bugs were a wee bit creepy, but my need to photograph anything that moves has a tendency to override such feelings. You should see the spider I photographed, yesterday. Ewwwww! <BR/><BR/>Thank you. People are always telling me my kids look alike and I think, "Yeah? How?" But, they always said that about my sister and me, also. All I could see was the differences. Maybe we don't see similarities when we're too close.<BR/><BR/>Hi Pat!<BR/><BR/>My review of Lottery will be in the October issue of Estella's Revenge ezine, which I assume will be posted within the next day or two. I'll let you know. It's all positive because I loved Lottery so much I had to force myself to close it the first night I began to read (and gobbled the rest of it up, the next day, in spite of the post late-night headache). When I saw your comment I thought to myself, "That is so cool!" Ha! Perry hasn't left me, yet!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'll be in Hawaii in December, but not your island.

Urgh is right! I didn't post my absolute favorite, a longer exposure that shows their zig-zag paths. Don't ask me why. Sometimes I don't even know how I choose which photos to post. <BR/><BR/>Thanks. You and I are both surrounded by handsome men, aren't we?<BR/><BR/>Chris,<BR/><BR/>Well, let's be honest, you <I>never</I> know what you're about to read when you come here, do you? <BR/>Yeah, we get clouds of insects on occasion. I've never seen them in such quantity and so frequently. That was what really amazed me - a full hour of passing clouds of insects. Entire fields had columns rising every few feet; it was astonishing.<BR/><BR/>The trip up through the Delta is always fun. And, those back roads were pretty interesting, too. We'd never have seen the tree full of egrets if we hadn't happened to go the long way. Fortunately, it was a short meet. We got home very late and I'd hate to have already been worn out from a lengthy meet before we got into the car!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-55001794829032770312007-10-01T14:26:00.000-05:002007-10-01T14:26:00.000-05:00I didn't know what I was going to read when I saw ...I didn't know what I was going to read when I saw a blog post with the word "plague" in it...thank God it was just clouds of insects :p Very strange phenomenon...we get those little bugs here too, but not in those proportions! <BR/><BR/>It sounds like such a cool little road trip. I love that photo of the egrets on your other blog, just saw it last night. It's amazing what you can find on such a short road trip! I always think that I have to drive to some far away place or another state to find something interesting, but if you meander into the right unknown direction, it's like a little treasure trove of interesting sights!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-91117920998713736832007-10-01T14:22:00.000-05:002007-10-01T14:22:00.000-05:00Hope you didn't inhale any of those bugs.
