Nice illumination from backgound.

Are they specialized for cucumbers only?

In other words the world is its smorgassboard.

You certainly still got a lot of insects around for a guy living up north this time of year, I thought it would be cold up there already but since I have never lived that far up I really would not know. However did spend some time in the Arctic Circle, while in the Navy. Brrr........

Nice shot Doug!

The temps have still been around 65--75 during the day, lows in the low to mid 40s. Only have a few flowers left on the cucumber vines, don`t expect any more cukes. half of the state has already had a hard frost.
