Didn't say anything, just that even if you would be old the altitude would spare you some time ;) Yes is spring time, actually is spring in the morning and when in the evening while it is more like summer during the day, still the sea is not yet warm enough and that is the reminder that is not summer!

Ehm..., I am not THAT old! Please, do not make any connections between the altitude and my age, I would not like to move up all the time ;-)...
Do we have spring now? I did not notice that...

HA HA HA :D No, don't you know that the oldest people always live high in the mountains ;) I think it was just a short rush of spring fatigue ;)

I am getting old or I am not yet ready for the day, we had a hard meeting yesterday evening ;-)... Yes, it is rather a late nymph instar.

For my eyes it is an adult.

It looks a bit different than this on your photo but I suppose it is because that one is still young ;) Thank you
