Sometimes it’s the little things that get you. And by that I mean mosquitoes. I got bit in the same arm three times while shooting this. The bites are no more than a couple of inches apart.

So what do you do when you drive your ass all the way out in the middle of no where to take a sunset shot and then find out there are no clouds to make the sunset look cool? Why you hit the weed of course. *Sigh* I crack myself up.
