OzarkLife Wanderings ~ August 13, 2023

avatar

Down here in the Ozarks it was an overcast 88 degrees Fahrenheit by the thermometer today, but with humidity the “RealFeel” temp was 106… that’s some serious humidity.

Unaware that the clouds were going to break and unleash the sun upon us later in our hike, @nomaddreamer and I took a new hiking path today to see what we could see. It was a wider path than our regular trail, and therefore mostly out of the shade of the forest canopy.

The small creatures were enjoying being out after the recent pouring rains and storms, and we were fortunate enough to see several.

In addition to the fun wildlife, the mosquitoes 🦟 were out in droves. Despite the picaridin all over me I received several bites. Ozark mosquitoes mean business.

Mushrooms were also everywhere, soaking up the moisture and thriving.

By the time we were headed back, the dreaded sun emerged and the breeze all but stopped. The humidity weighed down on us, and by the time we finished the trail we looked like we had gone swimming.

Rather than checking out another trail we decided we were done with the humidity and the insects for awhile. At least until tomorrow, when we head back out to sweat, swat the unending mosquitoes, and search for wildlife all over again! 😁

All #photography in this post was taken by me, @madame-cyntaia, with my iPhone6, of our #aliveandthriving #actifit life. Thanks for reading, now #gotakeahike! 🦋

The humidity and the mosquitoes definitely 2 things I wish we had less of, but the scenery and wildlife are amazing!

Yep, if the mosquitos weren't there I don't think even the humidity would stop me from being outside all of the time. If only there were a pill that made them not want my blood!

That little frog is too cute! When I much younger, I would be bitten to pieces by little mozzies.. but some reason I don't anymore - no idea why (still get to enjoy their buzzing tho lol).

Such diverse little creatures abound. The little lizard looks so sweet, as does the cute fella in the shell. Great pics, awesome hike. Looked fun - especially for the cute hound! Keep well my friend.

Usually my trusty bug spray keeps them at least from biting, but I think the massive humidity levels we've been having are breeding monster skeeters that just don't care about such things.
They're the reason I'm not outside all the time! I can deal with heat & humidity, but the buzzing and itching drive me insane. I can't wait until fall comes and we get a reprieve from the nasty lil buggers.

I know most people probs won't agree with me lmao.. but I still find them sooo cute. I think it's because when I was younger I was really into cartoons.. I must have seen a cartoon mozzie at some point haha. The itch can be wild if my long term memory serves me ok. Hope you get some relief soon.
