It hasnt dropped below 95f daytime for 2 weeks and July 8th was over 100f and felt like considerably more. The nighttime temps are hovering round low 80s. <br /><br />Heading up into the mountains to the Shenandoah valley in a couple of weeks and hoping the weather is cooler by then. Its always less humid but the current temperatures there are still in the 90s. Different bugs though and specially nice for moths. I shot this last ime I was there. <br /><br />http://bugguide.net/node/view/234474<br /><br />You have never seen anything like it for size and weight. I really did think we had a bat in the room.

Thanks too for the pic of the astonishing blue chip micro! If only we had them here in the UK where needless to say, it is raining. Midsummer, ha! No wonder they bought a ticket on the Mayflower.
