Who Would Have Guessed: Insect Repellant ?
It's November and Christmas is just around the corner.
When we went north in Okinawa, I offered Map It Dude some bug spray.
He was hiking, to the highest peak on this island.
Not me. Been there before, a few times and decided not to do the 2 hour climb.
I said, bug spray and insect repellant are in my pack.
"Nah, there won't be any mosquitoes; it's too cold for them."
There wasn't any wildlife, being active so, I decided to shoot plants and ferns.
I, left the bug spray and crèmes in the vehicle.
Shooting images of ferns from different angles can keep me busy for a few hours.
It was so quiet, in the jungle, you could probably hear a snake slithering.
But, that wasn't the only thing that surprised me.
The weather warmed up and, it woke up the mosquitoes.
There were plenty of fern photos taken so, I headed back down the trail.
That's when I met these red ferns, alongside the highway.
Confirmation, on their names is pending, along with lots of other things.
Remember that movie star, Robert Redford ?
Well, he gave me an idea.
For the time being, I'll just call these guys the Redfern Brothers.
Does anyone else have a better idea ?
NOTE: The weather in Okinawa, Japan can fool you sometimes.
So, it's a good idea to always be prepared for tropical sunshine.
Insects don't follow the calendar; they follow the thermometer.
And, the weather on the Ryukyu Islands doesn't necessarily follow any calendar, either.
In years past, I recall going to the beach, to swim, during winter months.
The sun doesn't burn me and bugs won't bite me, usually.
Most of the repellants and cremes, I carry, are for others to use.
Something tells me, the secret ingredient, that protects me is in Orion Beer.
Well, the past few days I was on some strong medicine, trying to kick a cold.
Doctors orders: No Alcohol
Those pesky bugs feasted on me, yesterday because my Orion levels were depleted.
The cold is all gone. No more drugs.
Downtown, I have some catching-up to do.
Have a great weekend !
