there are ticks here

I was having a good time, creating very romantic photos, connecting with nature and all that today. I saw two eagles and a humming bird. But then I found a tick burrowing into my side and that about set the tone for the remainder of the evening: fear, anger, and disbelief. I will not be doing this again without bug spray. Here are photos of me enjoying nature before the tick incident shut down production.

This place is magical, except for the ticks. They are not magical.
