Pond Behind Everglades Rec Center at Night
 
I was feeling sorry for the mosquitoes last night, so I went out to the pond behind Everglades Rec Center and fed them for a while...

This was about 9 pm, and if you look up in the sky, you can see a pack of 16 of Elon Musk's Skylink satellites. If they look a little elongated, that is because this was a 30-second exposure, and they moved that much.

Thank you, the Satellites was a "fortuitous event" not planned at all.

I consider myself very lucky as those pesky little biters aren’t too interested in my blood. :)

You are taking a big risk if youre walking your dog there at dusk and beyond. That's feeding time at the zoo.

Nope, just me, my dog(s) were at home sleeping with my wife unit.

Mosquitoes
 
That is precisely why we didn't buy next to pond. The mosquito feeding grounds.

Very cool, but I would have never guessed that's what I was looking at.

Thank you!
 
Great picture! I think it's one of these mile long UFO's.
