Too hot!

This man explained that, despite the extreme heat, he was forced to wear the heavy protective gear, as every time he went down the hole there was the possibility he could met up with anything, including rodents. I assume he meant rats. 

Whilst on the surface he was doing his very best to stay in the shade. 

P.S The blueberries I photographed and blipped recently have disappeared. Something has eaten them! There are more ripening, but I can't see them lasting long either. Knowing that  I can't depend on a harvest, I've added blueberries to my online grocery order.
