Let’s continue to ease back into the winter photography. Here is one from my bank of images taken in the summer.
The predator and prey roles are reversed when a ‘pack’ of hungry mosquitoes descends down on a wolf. They are mostly kept at bay by the thick coat, but just like when a wolf goes in for a kill, the mosquitoes hone in on the most vulnerable spots where their prey is less likely to be able to defend itself.
The wolf didn’t seem to be too bothered. I on the other hand was cursing at them under my breath. The welts that I soon developed and the itching that happened for days afterwards was a small price to pay.
It almost makes me appreciate the long mosquito free winters. Almost!
No question there are advantages to having seasons. Beautiful dark coat.
Yes, I just wish the length of time winter and summer occur over were reversed! She had a bit of a mane from the old coat shedding off around her neck. Thankfully the grass did a good job of covering it up!
Stunning post and I love the pic. Having been mosquito fodder many times I feel your itches!! 🙂
Thanks! Sorry to hear you also suffer the wrath of mosquitoes. Pesky little things aren’t they?!
