Got up at 4am to meet my friend in the Everglades, We met at Long Pine Key in the parking lot around 5:30am. I got dressed for the occasion with long pants, long shirt sprayed with Deet, vest, boots, buff neck guard, hat with head netting. I also used a set of golf gloves for both hands because the mosquitoes nailed my hands last time – even with bug spray! I was ready for those blood suckers this time. I could hear them buzzing relentlessly trying to get to any flesh they could find.

So when my friend arrived, I walked over to his truck and he hops out in shorts and a t-shirt! Then asks “how are the bugs?”, he instantly became a Latin gourmet for the mosquitoes! He was back in that truck so fast!!!!

Anyway, my friend stayed in his truck putting on his bug gear while I went over to the lake to setup. I took a series of shots and this was one of the first ones. At Long Pine Key with the moon in the sky and the sunrise on the move.
